It doesn't apply to Take Aways.

In case of an-an, we will serve on china plates and cups to apply for the scheme. We want to think about the finance, but we should think about the environment, too.

First, please use hand sanitiser at the entrance. the dispencer is on the right.

Wearin mask is not mandatory in the cafe area, but it's nicer if you could have face coverin till you settle at a seat.
Please make order at the counter with ”Please Order Here"
Please mention clearly Eat in or Take away on your order. Otherwise, we will prepare as Takin away.

As we have to take some record, we may need to take time to deal with your orders. Please bear with us.

Once you are at the table, please fill the form to write your name and contacts. It is only for the reccord of  ”Track & Trace". Your detail will be kept safely at an-an only

If you are entering grocery section and tilet, we will ask you to wear your mask.

So, if you order;
Matcha Latte £2.50
Edamame £2.50
Mix Katsu Lunch Set £7.50
Strawberry Mochi £2.00
The total will be £14.50.
So you just need to pay £.7.25!

July sweets and cafe update!

Today. It is today, 4th July, cafes and restarurants are allowed to start business again. 





It was just after the lockdown started as soon as we finished exchanging the key to 94 Boundary Road. I was full of hope for the new bigger cafe and kitchen space. 
... then 3 and a half months gone.

We were lucky we could carry on opening the cafe as take away shop. However as we could not change the sign, nobody had realized it was a Japanese take away...😢 Now I am almost an expert of making coffee. 

The sign will be changed next weekend. It will be a Japanese style one and I will do Japanese Calligraphy. So many people gave me advices and hopefully it will be ok by now.💦

So I rolled up my sleaves again and keeping my head up to be ready for the challenge next. 

The next challenge.... well, is all the new rules and regurations I need to ask you to co-oporate with. 

For the restaurants and cafe which prepare seatings inside of the building, it asks for taking all the name and detail of the customer who consume foods and dring. It is due to tracking and following the people who may have had a contact with infected, just in case. Anyway, we have the lovely season on our side. I have a large space to place tables and chairs out side of the cafe. 

So we can have "eat in" without taking booking and detail as long as we keep social distancing!

1m+

As I place all the table and chairs 1m to 2m apart. So please do not move tables.

On your arrival, we greet you at the entrance. We will take order if you are after take aways. Otherwise, we will ask you to take seat and ask for orders. 

If you would like to come intto the shop for Deli and Japanese products, please wait for the door parson to call you in. Always only one person (one group) at a time in the building. 

We like to improve more and mor, so we are open to your suggestions.
