Cafe
This cafe showcases light fusion cuisine for less than 2000 yen, for example, an eggplant pasta soaked in a light broth with chunky yet tender slices of chicken fillets, topped with Shiso and wild herbs. The shredded Shiso or Japanese Perilla leaves adds bite and an astringent counterpoint to the hearty and filling pasta. Shiso is traditionally used with sushi, so here is a creative and contemporary interpretation of an Italian dish with a Japanese influence with the pairing of the eggplant and the Shiso leaves.
