01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
On a quiet street in Higashi-Tabata, Café Tomo is a relaxed place to linger over food prepared with care, from ingredient selection through cooking. At lunchtime, diners appreciate vegetable-rich dishes, one-plate lunches and lunch boxes made to order by reservation; each is prepared by hand, one dish at a time. The serving dishes show a thoughtful eye, and the calm atmosphere makes a meal here feel as comfortable as eating at home.
For after lunch or a slower afternoon, there is a substantial drinks menu to explore. Coffee options include hand-dripped Oikawa Coffee, espresso, café latte and soy milk latte. There is also Darjeeling and Earl Grey made from JAS-certified organically grown tea. Other thoughtful choices include house-made lemonade, 100% mandarin juice with no added sugar, and a French non-alcoholic dry sparkling apple drink. For a relaxed afternoon drink, alcoholic options such as Hitachino Nest beer and wine offer another way to linger.
Table service is available, and the space suits unhurried conversation and a relaxed meal. The café mainly opens during the day on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and accepts cash only. It is a place to make time for a carefully prepared plate and a warm drink.
