If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would! I stopped by for a meal and some iced coffee on my way through town and both were very tasty. The customer service, however, was outstanding. The two ladies working treated me very well, and even though I do not speak much Japanese, they were very patient and kind. If you find yourself passing by, I highly recommend you give it a try.

家庭的なお店です。ランチが1000円と今どきお財布に優しいお値段でお腹いっぱい食べられます。食後に美味しいお茶まで出してくださって、嬉しかったです。 また、寄せていただきたいです。

If you want to know what kind of food Japanese people eat in their home, this place is highly recommended! Good taste with a reasonable price.

とてもコスパが良くオススメのお店です。 日曜にランチで利用させていただきました。古民家的なお食事&カフェのお店。 海老フライと角煮のランチとブレンドコーヒーを注文。料理は家庭的なお味でとても美味しかったです。味噌汁ではなくにゅうめんなのが良かった。コーヒーも濃厚なコクがある大人のお味。 琵琶湖ビューのテラス席もあり次はコーヒーをゆっくり飲みながら座りたいな。このクオリティーでランチが1,100円、コーヒー付きで1,500円。(ランチは1,000円〜) 文句の付けようがない大満足のランチタイムでしたよ
