I went to Cafe Bar KayGee's, a shop I've been interested in for a long time.
The location is between Minami Takahashi and Chuo-ohashi Bridge at Shinkawa 2-chome, and the arched entrance is a landmark on the first floor of an apartment on a narrow road slightly from the main street.
Just looking at the record jacket displayed on the show window, you can see that it is a shop that is particular about music.
Cafe Bar KayGee's, was one of the places I've been wanted to visit.
It is located between Minami-Takabashi (bridge) and Chuo-Ohashi (bridge), along the narrow street. It's arch shaped facade could be recognized as a mark.
By only looking at the records displayed at the window, you can easily tell that the place is for the music lovers.
When you enter, you will hear a pleasant sound as expected, and you will be greeted with a friendly smile. (Owner Mr. Hotta)
As expected, smooth music and a warm smile welcomes you at the entrance. (Mr. Hotta, owner of the cafe)
The visit date was Saturday, but the lunch set had the same price as weekdays, 950 yen (including tax) sora beans and Shirasu pasta lunch.
The texture of raw noodles is delicious! It also comes with soup and salad. There is also a rice plate, and the menu seems to change every day, and it seems that there are ginger grilled and omelet.
The lunch set menu costs JPY950- through Mon. to Sat. which includes main dish, salad, and soup.
I tried Pasta for main dish, which the noodle is not dry but raw before boiled and it was delicious. Other choices change daily. (Pork ginger, Omlet, etc.)
When I asked the owner, he told me that he was performing acoustic live such as Bosanoba and flute performances on an irregular basis.
The music charge is set for each performer, but the previous Bosanoba live was sold out immediately for 2,500 yen.
In the first place, the shop started by the owner's music lovers, and he wanted to create a healing space with high-quality music of various genres and delicious food.
Lunchtime on weekdays is crowded with people who work nearby, so if you want to spend a relaxing time, we recommend shifting lunch time or Saturday.
According to Mr. Hotta, the owner of the cafe, an acoustic live performances are scheduled non-regularly. The music charge for the latest bosa nova performance was JPY2,500- which sold out at once, though the charge changes depending on the performer.
The place is Mr. Hotta's dream come true project where people can spend relaxing time listening to nice music and enjoy good food.
If you wish to touch the essence of the comfortable atmosphere, visiting weekday lunch might not be the right choice because a lot of business people come in on that time. Recommends visiting in the late afternoon during week days, or on Saturdays.
Other than that, world-class judoists, including Olympic medalists, come to the store from time to time.
For more information, why don't you ask the owner directly at the store?
Believe it or not, a worldwide famous Judo athletes sometimes walk in.
For further information, please go visit and have a chat with Mr. Hotta.
