fudangohan cafe

For a generous helping of vegetables, try the vegetable roll sandwich, filled with 18 ingredients. Its menu description lists fresh vegetables, marinated ingredients, beans, a seasoned egg and chicken ham among the fillings, making it far more substantial than a simple salad tucked into bread. Diners have described it as packed with vegetables and filling enough to make a meal; one visitor also found its flavour a little on the ethnic side.

For a different flavour, there are roll sandwiches with herb-pepper chicken and cheese cream, or keema curry and cheese cream. These offer an alternative to the vegetable-led filling, making them a good option when you want something satisfying or are eating with someone whose tastes differ from yours.

For dessert or a snack, choose a fruit sandwich with citrus mix, banana and sweet bean paste, or cream anmitsu-hime. The menu comes in 2- and 3-slice portions, so you can pick something small for yourself or share. One diner praised the balance of juicy fruit, sweet cream and lightly salted bread. A visitor who chose the mixed fruit version was struck by the generous amount of fruit and cream.

Coffee is available hot or iced, and there is also iced café au lait. For something sweet, try one of the banana juices: “White” with banana and milk, “Black” with banana and chocolate, or “Green” with ingredients including young barley leaves and kale.

In Nishigahara, Kita City, fudangohan cafe is a casual spot for eating in or taking food away, and suits solo diners too. Choose a roll sandwich for a light meal, or settle in with a fruit sandwich and coffee for a break.
