01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Served neatly in a glass, the house-made custard pudding offers a nostalgic charm, with a firm texture that keeps its shape to the last spoonful and a pleasantly balanced caramel. Located down a flight of stairs in a Suidobashi basement, Kissa & Bar Tomarigi pairs classic cafe desserts with a cozy atmosphere that transforms from daytime lunch to evening bar service. Guests can top the pudding with vanilla ice cream for a richer treat, or choose from traditional kissaten favorites including bittersweet house-made coffee jelly and colorful cream sodas.
From Sansho Curry to Omu-Hayashi: Satisfying Cafe Meals
Hearty Western-style cafe plates take the spotlight during the lunch hours. The signature spicy Tomarigi Curry is enlivened with the zesty tingle of Japanese sansho pepper, delivering a slow-building heat that keeps diners coming back for another bite. The kitchen also turns out mushroom-rich hayashi rice under a blanket of fluffy eggs in the omu-hayashi, a traditional ketchup-based napolitan prepared with restrained sweetness, and curry spaghetti, ensuring plenty of comforting choices to suit any appetite.
Evening Drinks and Savory Bites
As night falls, the venue lowers its lights and shifts into an intimate retreat where guests can linger over drinks. Selections such as the Tomarigi Highball made with Irish whiskey, refreshing gin and tonics, and Gargery Estella—a bottled beer crafted exclusively for restaurants—provide an inviting drink after the workday. The food menu rounds out the evening with offerings like iburigakko smoked radish pickles paired with cream cheese, house-made pickles, and baked curry, while ending the night with a serving of pudding is a distinct pleasure of the house.
