1010cafe (Ichimaru Cafe)

A short walk from Keisei-Hikifune Station on the ground floor of Atlas Tower Hikifune, 1010cafe (Ichimaru Cafe) sits along a quiet street. With large glass windows letting in ample daylight, the relaxed dining area suits a solitary break as comfortably as an unhurried lunch.

Buckwheat galettes are a standout choice on the food menu, an uncommon find in casual Tokyo cafes. The prosciutto and cheese galette comes off the griddle with a pleasantly chewy bite, served at lunch alongside soup and salad. For something heartier, the cafe prepares rice plates such as taco rice finished with a soft-cooked egg and gentle spice, or tender braised pork belly.

Desserts and drinks make an unhurried afternoon visit just as rewarding. Choices include tender French toast, smooth pudding with restrained sweetness, and chilled tiramisu ice cream. Drinks are served in generous mugs and glasses, from the house Ichimaru Blend and cafe lattes to cold-brew iced coffee chilled over coffee-ice cubes to preserve flavor to the last sip.

With wine offerings and combination sets pairing a drink with an appetizer, the cafe shifts effortlessly from daytime meals to casual evening sips.
