Japanese Style Café - Komeda Nagomi Café Okagean

Restaurant Review by K. I.

I'd like to introduce one of my favorite cafés, Komeda Nagomi Cafe Okagean. This café is a sister store of Komeda's Coffee and has only 11 stores all over Japan. In Kanagawa Prefecture, it is located in Yokohama and Yamato. The café here is a short walk from Yamato Station, so it's easy to access. There are 92 tables and all seats are non-smoking. There is a takeout menu. 

Unlike Komeda's Coffee, you can enjoy a Japanese style café. The atmosphere is also different. For example, the inside of the café is made like a Japanese-style room, and they serve Japanese food such as zenzai, warabi mochi, and dumplings. In addition, they are proud of their Japanese drinks, such as matcha, roasted green tea, and soybean flour. 

I ordered an ice matcha au lait. It comes with a separate gum syrup, so you can adjust the sweetness yourself. Surprisingly, you can choose a set just for the price of a drink called Morning Set until 11 a.m. so I chose the ochazuke set. It was very delicious and the drink was also delicious. I recommend going by 11 a.m. because you can enjoy it at a good price. In addition, there are four types of morning sets, including an onigiri set.

I ordered the dumplings, which is a specialty of this café. The characteristic of the dumplings at the café here is that you can grill them yourself. This photo is soy sauce flavor, but there are also soybean flour and red bean paste. In addition to dumplings, there are various menu items such as soba, noodles, and shaved ice.

This café is spacious and very comfortable, and it's a rare café in Japan, so please go there. I'm sure you can enjoy it.
