Kanda Jimbocho 1-9, 2F. Open 11am-9:30pm (LO) daily.
Sun: Open Sundays

This large traditional coffeeshop plays classical music and specializes in European curries and espresso. Curries include scallops and several other seafood variations along with the usual beef, pork and chicken, but it's not as easy to put together your own combination as at some other places.

We tried the mix of shrimp, asari clams and chicken, which had juicy shrimp and nice mushrooms, but the hot (karakuchi) version was just a little too fiery to let us appreciate the subtleties of the spices - we'd recommend sticking to the mild setting. The boiled potatoes were sweet and very tasty, but our smoked salmon and endive salad was overly ambitious. Curries are priced Y1100-1700.
