01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

For a midday meal centered on the gentle flavors of vegetables and savory dashi, the rotating lunch at cotatocashi is a satisfying choice. The set featuring a generous soup and side dishes pairs a salt-koji soup packed with napa cabbage and meatballs with multigrain rice, meat-and-tofu stew, rolled omelet, and marinated roasted vegetables, delivering simple, comforting depth in every bite. Guests can also choose between a chicken curry served with soup and coleslaw or a spicier keema curry, depending on the mood.

After the meal, drip-brewed house blend coffee served in handcrafted ceramics or mugs with cute illustrated motifs rounds out the visit nicely. Drink options with lunch also include iced tea, tea soda, and lemon squash. For something sweeter, there are rich matcha or chocolate mint parfaits, alongside toasted sandwiches for a lighter bite.

Artisan tableware and cat-themed sundries decorate the shop, which maintains a tranquil atmosphere where solo visitors can linger comfortably. Because lunch quantities are limited and can sell out, reserving in advance and allowing plenty of time is recommended if you have your heart set on a specific set.
