Cafe Mugiwara

A cute fairy-tale-style entrance. A careful bakery café using natural yeast and domestic wheat. The bread is lined up right at the entrance, with a cozy café space in the back. The curry plate let you choose from 3 curries and 3 breads. This day, I ordered the millet-and-organic-tomato curry combined with gluten-free rice flour bread. The gluten-free rice flour bread came in 3 varieties. The purplish bread is black rice flour, the pink-beige is takakibi (Indian millet flour), and there's black sesame. All rice flour-based, gluten-free bread — and 3 types! Moving. Freshly steamed, fluffy rice flour bread. The curry has the sweetness of vegetables and aroma of spices, but not much heat. The soup, they said, uses layered cooking to draw out vegetable flavors, with salt as the only seasoning. Delicious for being salt-only! (Soup contents are written on the menu.) Every item radiated care — a heartwarming meal. Some items use dairy, ham, or eggs, but options without sugar or dairy, and veg-only options are also available. For drinks, coffee comes in organic coffee and grain coffee. Milk is "non-homogenized" and soy milk is "unadjusted organic" — a lineup that conveys their care. Takeout breads have allergen labels and are lined up — rice flour breads and rice flour bagels, and breads without egg or dairy too! For dessert at the café, there was a natural-yeast waffle (uses wheat and butter) with soy milk ice cream on top. For details, the staff can tell you various things. A shop I'd want to visit again! * The interior is small, so a stroller might be tough unfolded.
