Cafe&DELI Soramame Shokudo which opened in January 2023, was named after the owners’ Shiba dog, “Soramame.”

 

The chef’s choice course meal is recommended for 3,500 yen (3,800 yen with dessert).

The menu changes frequently to keep regular customers coming back and satisfied. On this day, the items on the menu included: cream cheese wrapped in cured ham, liver pâté with sliced baguette, hamburger steak topped with a variety of veggies and sauce, and seafood pasta with locally made brown rice spaghetti.

 

Beni-fuji salmon and plum with prosciutto pinchos

All the dishes had a mild and natural taste; crafted with care and with health in mind. The chef has experience in French and high-end cuisine, so you can trust you’ll get something fancy yet healthy.

 

Rillettes of Amakusa-takara-boku pork belly

This liver pâté is topped with butter and is reminiscent of the appetizers in Europe. It went nicely with the sliced baguette and on-tap white wine containing no sulfur and preservatives.

 

Black pasta peperoncino with scallops, shrimp, salmon, and mushroom

This brown rice pasta is made locally by a friend of the chef. It’s dense and has a firm texture. The pasta is topped with a variety of seafood and is very filling. It went very nicely with this on-tap red wine containing no sulfurs and preservatives and had a mild taste.

 

The wine selection includes offerings from the local “Fukagawa Winery Tokyo.”

As mentioned above, the wine is served the same way as draught beer; it is poured through a tap and contains no preservatives. Both the red and the white wines are light-tasting and easy on the palette. If you’re sensitive to sulfurs in wine (like me), this is the perfect choice!

 

Handmade desserts

This cream cheesecake is divine. It’s rich and creamy, and extremely satisfying for dessert lovers. The degree of sweetness is also perfect!

 

The owner is the chef, and the wife serves the customers.

Both the husband and wife are very generous people. Not only do they care about high-quality, health-promoting ingredients but they care about the local people through their services. This is not about profit for them, but rather about giving back to the community through delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere.

 

It is a small-scale shop of approximately 33 square meters, but dogs are allowed.

The shop feels quite spacious thanks to the high ceilings and open layout. Sharing their love for dogs, they want locals with dogs to feel at home here too. Everyone is welcome and you can feel that from their welcoming attitude.
