Tsunagu Cafe

At Tsunagu Cafe, lunch can mean a daily special or a familiar favourite. Visitors have recommended the omurice for its memorable buttery flavour, while others say they look forward to the changing lunch menu. The choices also include curry rice, Napolitan and mentaiko cream pasta, so there are options for a Western-style meal or pasta. One diner particularly remembered the clam chowder served as the soup with a daily lunch, praising its creamy flavour.

In one reported visit, a customer who asked for fish was served a mackerel lunch. The generous piece of fish and its sides made for a filling meal, and lunch with coffee came to exactly ¥1,000. That was one individual experience, but it may encourage diners seeking an alternative to meat to ask what is available. The menu also lists seafood bowls and a marinated salmon bowl; the seafood bowl changes according to the day's catch.

Sandwiches are an option for a lighter meal or takeaway. The Gohoubi Katsu Sandwich pairs a house-prepared cutlet with a special sauce, while the Dashimaki Tamago Sandwich features an egg omelette rich with dashi. Let staff know when ordering if you would like takeaway. For after lunch or a break, set drinks include coffee, tea and orange juice; there is also a mixed juice made with 5 kinds of fruit.

Breakfast and brunch are also listed. The cafe is open on weekdays from 10:00 to 15:00 and closed on Saturdays and Sundays. You can eat in at the Shin-Imasato location in Ikuno Ward, Osaka, or order sandwiches and boxed meals to take away. Payment is cash only, so come prepared.
