cafe BAMBOU

A standout draw during lunch is the cafe's omurice, carefully cooked using eggs from Yoneda Keiran. The egg is prepared with precise heat control until tender and fluffy, settling comfortably over simply seasoned rice, served in a satisfying set with soup and salad. The daytime offerings also include classic kissaten favorites such as nostalgic ketchup-based Neapolitan and daily changing pasta dishes like spicy cod roe cream, giving diners an easy choice to suit their mood.

Morning hours bring a breakfast set centered on thick-sliced bread from local bakery Le Burl, toasted and served alongside scrambled eggs, sausage, and a fresh salad. Enjoyed with a cup of mild blended coffee, it sets a calm, unhurried pace for the day ahead.

For an afternoon break, the sweet selection features roll cakes and mont blanc made with Uji matcha, along with baked cheesecake and house-made coffee jelly. Traditional kissaten drinks are equally well represented, from colorful ice cream floats to the Cafe Français—a combination of iced cafe au lait and coffee jelly.

Despite being just a short walk from Nagaoka-Tenjin Station, cafe BAMBOU feels removed from the bustle outside. The room stretches back from the entrance, pleasantly laid out with both sofa seating and counter spots. Whether settling in alone with a book or catching up with a companion, the room accommodates each guest's own tempo.
