Alaska zwei

A café between Naka-Meguro and Ikejiri-Ohashi. Usable as a morning café or for lunch! At lunchtime it becomes packed — a popular shop! The lunch daily special was karaage made with soy meat. The enzyme brown rice is chewy and delicious! Flavors are solidly seasoned — non-vegetarians will be satisfied too. Daily-baked breads and baked goods are also delicious — lots of takeout customers! They also have bento, so you can eat by the Meguro River 🌸 The interior is spacious — a café for spending a lovely, slow time.

A shop tucked in a slight alley. Pale blue exterior with one large tree. Entering, you're drawn in by delicious-looking bread and muffins. Dairy- and egg-free — wonderful! Inside: 6 tables, 3 counter seats. Stylish, slightly vintage shop. Large smoked glass windows let you gently feel sunlight. Very comfortable. I went for morning, with careful menu explanation. I'd researched as vegan, but "◯◯-free" labels weren't easily visible (only "vegan" was noted), so I asked: "Everything is dairy- and egg-free, but wheat is used, right?" — "Yes." Reassured. I ordered the Morning Soup Set: • Today's soup • Focaccia or seasonal bread • Green leaf salad • Coffee or rooibos tea Seasonal bread and coffee chosen. • Sweet Potato Soy Milk Soup Soy milk soup loaded with sweet potato, maitake, shimeji, carrots. Kale(?) leaves are also added — surprising. Cooked but still crunchy. New discovery in eating method — delicious. Soy milk soup is light but has depth; pink pepper adds a peppy accent, aromatic olive oil, large crunchy croutons — every scoop reveals a new face of the soup. • Cocoa Roll Bread (February-limited) *Uses wheat flour; dairy- and egg-free Not dry at all — moist, chewy bread with lots of moisture (not sticky!) Cocoa bitterness translates into umami — an adult-flavor bread. • Salad Seasoned with olive oil. Sliced almonds on top — those needing to avoid almonds, be careful!!
