Café Amitié

In Tateishi, Katsushika Ward, Café Amitié serves a rotating weekly menu centered on thoughtful home-cooked dishes. It is a welcoming spot for anyone strolling through Tateishi who is in the mood for brown rice, featuring diverse comforts ranging from crisp shrimp-and-edamame spring rolls and Japanese staples like kaburamushi (steamed turnip with savory fillings) or butter-sautéed yellowtail to a Moroccan-inspired plate of meatballs and spiced salad. Some weeks also introduce international features such as Ethiopian-style curry, making every visit a chance to try a different flavor combination.

For an afternoon break or an end-of-meal sweet, the café offers handmade cakes bundled with a drink, as well as desserts like berry cassata. Paired with a carefully brewed coffee, black tea, or herbal infusion, it is a calm setting to unwind with something sweet.

Seating includes counter stools near the entrance and a larger communal table toward the back, accommodating solo diners stopping for lunch as comfortably as friends gathering for tea. Takeaway bento boxes and side dishes are also available, and note that payment is cash only.
