Nice to meet you! It's been 5 years since we opened a cafe cozy where we learned together and grew up together. We offer home-cooked dishes made by moms. Asaka City, Saitama Prefecture is a peaceful area with abundant nature, such as a vegetable-growing field and a walk along the Kurome River. I want foreigners to feel the calm and gentle atmosphere of Japan.
