Orae looks like an Swedish cafe with blonde country log cabin like tables and chairs, but it serves German , Italian and Japanese yoshoku cuisine like croquettes, hamburg patties and ginger pork cutlets with soy infused sauce and coleslaw. This is light and healthy eating, though its most popular items are sausages, fried croquettes and home made German style beer. There are many couples but families won't feel intimidated by the romantic atmosphere and the soft piano music.

Ginger pork, or buta no shogayaki, is a one of the most popular comfort foods in Japan. Every night millions of families try it, it is nearly as popular as Tonkatsu.
