Cafe Toposu

Cafe Toposu is a place to settle in over a cup of blended coffee, with a choice of brewing methods. Its carefully siphon-brewed blend is clean and easy to drink, making it a welcome pleasure during a stop here. There are other styles to choose from, too: American coffee made by drip or espresso, and Wiener coffee topped with a soft swirl of cream. That range of options is part of the appeal of a traditional Japanese café.

The food menu is varied, with satisfying choices for a proper meal. Classic Napolitan and meat-sauce pasta come with salad and soup, and there are hearty combinations topped with hamburger steak. Pilaf, omelette rice and set meals such as pork loin with ginger are also on offer, making it easy to find unfussy Western-style cooking to suit the moment.

For something lighter, hot sandwiches and toast are available from the morning. Options include egg and ham hot sandwiches, as well as sweet sandwiches filled with chunky red bean paste and cream or black sesame. Old-fashioned chocolate parfait and cream zenzai—sweet red beans served with cream—round out a broad selection of café snacks and desserts. Near Sunamachi Culture Centre and the Sunamachi Ginza shopping street, Cafe Toposu is a comfortable place to pause with a warm drink between errands or a stroll.
