Rain

Opening its doors at 7:30 in the morning, Rain greets guests with the comforting aroma of coffee and an unhurried atmosphere. Situated along Kujo-dori, the cafe stretches back deep from the entrance, offering a quiet space where local regulars and passing travellers alike can settle in for a relaxed start to the day.

Morning options are varied, spanning classic toast with a boiled egg to omelet-style egg sandwiches, mixed sandwiches, and ham sandwiches. Tucked inside soft sliced bread, the egg sandwich pairs naturally with the deep roast and lingering finish of the hot coffee. For those who prefer a sweeter start, the fluffy pancake set and the rich French toast set are equally inviting choices.

At lunchtime, seats fill with patrons looking for satisfying, straightforward meals from the daily specials and Western-style cafe staples. Dishes such as crisp minced meat cutlets topped with rich demi-glace and fragrant, stir-fried spaghetti Napolitan offer simple, time-honoured comfort.

The cheerful, attentive hospitality of the husband-and-wife owners lends warmth to the entire cafe, making it just as comfortable for solo diners. Because payment is cash only, keeping coins or notes on hand ensures a smooth checkout.
