Our Story

Authentic Japanese Home Cooking

"We serve meals that are just like what a Japanese mother would make for her family. We also serve Western dishes with a Japanese twist that are popular in Japan, but are not well known outside of Japan."

"And above all, we would like to introduce meals related to the seasons and events that are unique to Japan, a country with four rich seasons. We hope you will enjoy it."

日本のお母さんが家族に作るようなご飯を提供しています。また、日本では人気の洋食でも、イギリスや外国ではあまり知られていないメニューもあります。そして何よりも、四季豊かな日本ならではの季節や行事のにちなんだ食事も紹介していきたいと思っています。どうぞ宜しくお願いします。

Customer Reviews

Emma Thompson

The Karaage Don is absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is so peaceful and Chi is such a wonderful host. This has become my favorite lunch spot in Norwich.

James Wilson

Japanese soul food that brought me genuine comfort and warmth. The Genmai tea is perfect and the cafe has such a calming atmosphere. Feels like a home away from home!

Sarah Parker

A hidden gem in Norwich! The Omurice is comfort food at its best. The cafe is beautifully decorated and has such a tranquil vibe. Will definitely be back!

Michael Chen

Almost perfect! The flavors are authentic and the service is excellent. The only thing I'd suggest is adding more vegetarian options to the menu.
