About this place
When a warm, round roll is split open at the center, the restaurant's signature butter spread slowly melts deep into the crumb. Known as the famed Rakeru Bread, this soft, pillowy roll carries a gentle balance of salt and richness that truly comes into its own when served on a combination plate with omurice, a whole fluffy potato, and salad. A quintessential favorite is the Kuku Mozzarella Cheese Omurice, pairing ketchup pilaf and eggs folded around stretchy melted cheese, with the plate's baked potato ready to catch any butter left behind by the bread.
The omurice selection is notably versatile, offering a choice of rice fillings and complementary sauces. Diners can move beyond classic chicken rice or ketchup pilaf to options featuring germinated brown rice pilaf or aromatic curry pilaf. Plates can be tailored to the mood of the moment, whether topped with a demi-glace hamburg steak or prepared carbonara-style with shrimp and broccoli. Adding the rich collagen corn soup brings a gentle, mellow sweetness that rounds out the savory meal.
For dessert or an afternoon cafe break, the kitchen continues to showcase its specialty bread in sweet formats. The menu includes thick-sliced French toast topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, a granulated sugar version known for its pleasant crunch, and ice cream sundaes drizzled with caramel sauce. Situated on the 9th floor of Kitasenju Marui, the entirely non-smoking dining room provides comfortable table seating, suited just as well to a relaxed solo lunch between shopping stops as it is to an unhurried family gathering.
