Tami

I will introduce the cafe restaurant, Tami. The location is in the  Seya residential area, so you can't find it easily. The nearest station is Mitsukyou, and then you go about 25 minutes by bus and walk from the bus stop for about 15 minutes. This cafe is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closes on Thursdays. It's not a chain cafe, but an individually owned shop. It's small, but it has good points. The atmosphere is nice, and you can relax just like home. The owner is very kind. There are many kinds of menu items, such as, sandwiches, toast, cake, ice, coffee, tea, juice and so on. There is a special lunch menu I was wondering which to choose!

That day I ate the day's pasta which was mushroom pasta (￥700 include tax). I was surprised because there was a mini salad and tea included in this menu at no extra change! It was very reasonable and a great deal. This cafe has a seasonal menu. In summer, shaved ice, in winter oshiruko (It's a Japanese sweet. A sweet porridge of azuki beans boiled and crushed and eaten with rice flour dumplings.) Both of them are popular menu. I want to try it when I go to this cafe again.

The seats are not many,but don't worry, this cafe is not crowded at any time of day. You can even bring your own food into this cafe. It is amazing! Also you can stay for a long time. I think, this cafe is loved by many local people.

This cafe has reservations for small parties. You can charter a whole day.

This restaurant is open until late 2:00 a.m. so you can enjoy such as dining without worrying about time. This restaurant is a western restaurant so they serve western meals, parfaits, pancakes, cakes and children's meals. This restaurant is good at making a surprise.

I went to this restaurant for dinner. I ordered Okazu Teisyoku ￥1190 + tax. With this menu, you can choose 2 dishes from 6 kinds of dishes. That day I ate  fried prawn & cream croquette and a Japanese-style hamburger. The set Included the rice, miso soup and a small bowl, so it was a filling meal and good.

Six Half

I will introduce Six Half written by Rikako Iketani. This manga had been serialized in Cookie (by Shuueisha) from the December issue in 2009 to the November issue in January. There is a total  of 11 volumes. I read her manga for the first time.

Story
The main character is Shiori Kikukawa who is a sixteen-year old high school student in grade 2. She is called "Shi-chan" by her family. Her family is only 2 people, Akio and Maho. Akio is a twenty-one year old university student in grade 2 and he is called "A-chan" by his family. Maho is a twelve-year old junior high school student in grade 1 and she is called "Ma-chan" by her family. Their parents are gone because their mother ran away and their father died from a disease.

One day, Shiori is in a traffic accident and then she suffers from amnesia. After she leaves the hospital, she goes home with A-chan. There is a strained relationship. When she goes to her school, she is hated by her friends and classmates. Apparently, she was a show-off girl with loud, extreme fashion before she lost her memory. She doesn't know why she is hated by Ma-chan and the high school students. She doesn't even know who she is. She has nothing. But she knows only one thing, that she is another person now.

She lost her memory so she starts a new life. She falls in love. But she has fallen in love with her brother, A-chan! It is a love that should not come true absolutely. She begins to do modelling work in order to forget about A-chan. She avoids breaking the relationship of her "family" while killing her feeling. While she is in conflict, the relationship with her family and what went on in the past becomes clear.

What will become of her love? Will her memory come back? I cried at the end. I hope you read this manga.

For example, there are miso soup, niku-jaga, pasta, pizza. You can boil the pasta to your favorite hardness in this restaurant. and you can choose your favorite pasta sauce. I went to this restaurant at about 8 p.m. on weekday. I recommend that you should go early or when it's crowded because some dishes become cold if there are not many customers!

Jumbo Parfait

I will introduce BISTRO 309 in Kawasaki Lazona. BISTRO 309 is a casual western restaurant. I went there to eat a Jumbo Parfait with my friends. It's about 50 centimeters, it is very big parfait! It is made with a lot of soft cream and many fresh fruits. The price is ￥2500＋tax, and it is 3-4 portions. This jumbo parfait is 4 meals of limitation all day, and you must make a reservation. 

This jumbo parfait was delicious, but it was too big and we became full immediately. It is written 3-4 portions, but I recommend that you should eat it with 5 people. And, the inside of the mouth is too sweet, so you should order the drink bar or some salty food.


That day, I didn't order a dish because the parfait was so big! I couldn't eat anymore. But the dish were attractive. For example, grilled chicken, hamburger, doria and salad when I go to this restaurant, I would like to eat these dishes.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is good, and you can smell the good bread hot from the oven.
