01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Just down the street from the south exit of Keisei-Takasago Station, Tohachi serves morning sets from opening until 11:30, letting diners choose according to their appetite. The classic thick-cut toast set comes with a boiled egg and a drink, offering the honest comfort of freshly browned bread to start the day. For the thick-cut pizza toast, vegetables are chopped to order, making the pairing of sliced sausage and melted cheese a regular favourite. Alongside Western-style toast, the morning menu includes a tamago kake gohan (raw egg over rice) set served with miso soup and a daily side dish. Diners can also tailor breakfast by adding a side dish, a mini salad, or yoghurt with dried fruit.
A natural match for the meal is the Tohachi Blend Coffee, extracted cup by cup using a French press. Retaining the natural oils of the coffee beans, it offers a soft mouthfeel balanced by gentle acidity and rich depth, quietly elevating light fare. Other beverages cater to the time of day and mood, including a domestic black tea with muted astringency that pairs comfortably with Japanese food, as well as a gently sweet banana juice made solely from ripe bananas and milk.
Daily Lunch Bowls, Noodles, and Handmade Confections
From 11:30, the lunch menu takes over with daily rotating rice dishes and noodle bowls. Hearty choices include pork shogayaki (ginger-fried pork) and salted karaage fried chicken sets—each accompanied by rice, miso soup, a side dish, and pickles—along with noodle options such as thick-sauced corn udon or yakisoba, providing steady fuel for midday. For an afternoon pause, the cafe prepares sweets such as house-made coffee jelly made with French press brew and agar, alongside chewy shiratama dango in zenzai or shiratama azuki, all available in drink sets for a slow, sweet break.
The interior has an unhurried, calm air that makes dropping in alone feel natural and comfortable. Free Wi-Fi and PayPay payments are supported, and the entrance and seating are wheelchair accessible, making it an easy place to settle into whether pausing during a walk or sitting down for everyday lunch.
