Tamaichi

The homemade pudding and hotcakes are an easy place to start at Tamaichi. One diner described the pudding as firm, with a pronounced egg flavour; another paired it with a bitter coffee. A pudding set is also available with a choice of coffee, tea or milk. It makes a pleasant way to pause over a drink and a sweet treat between walks.

The menu describes the hotcakes as homemade. One visitor recalled them as a little sweet and nostalgic in flavour, rather than light and fluffy. There is also a set with a drink, a good option if you are in the mood for a more substantial afternoon treat.

For something savoury, the choices include breakfast dishes such as egg toast and hot dogs, as well as sandwiches, omurice and curry. The range suits anything from a light breakfast to a midday meal. After walking around Shinsekai, one diner ordered mixed juice and hotcakes, noting that the juice came in a large glass and was refreshingly easy to drink. For a sweet finish, there are puddings and parfaits; if you would rather just quench your thirst and take a break, mixed juice is another option—part of the old-fashioned café appeal.

Dine-in meals are available, and the café is described as suitable for solo visits. You can choose when to stop by according to whether you fancy breakfast or something sweet.
