01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
The thick-cut toast delivered to morning tables arrives toasted golden and fragrant on the outside while staying soft and fluffy within. Spread evenly with rich butter, it pairs equally well with strawberry jam or fried eggs cooked to order with table seasonings, allowing diners to enjoy breakfast their own way. A freshly brewed house blend with a clean, gentle acidity makes an invigorating accompaniment.
Located in Higashi-Jujo, Rui is a vintage coffee shop wrapped in warm wood tones and antique accents. The compact space holds a handful of counter and table seats, creating an easygoing atmosphere for anyone seeking a quiet moment alone. It also preserves the classic kissaten practice of allowing smoking throughout, making it an appreciated haven where smokers can relax over coffee.
Hearty Yoshoku and Spaghetti Options
Midday brings a generous lineup of retro Western-style cafe comfort food. Spaghetti classics like napolitan and meat sauce are available as sets with salad or soup, making them dependable lunch options. Rice dishes are equally substantial, ranging from comforting omurice with soup to chicken rice, ginger pork, and hamburg steak.
The menu also extends to freshly baked gratin and doria, sandwiches, and ice cream floats, with a chilled iced coffee providing a relaxing coda to the meal. As payment is cash only, it is best to have bills and coins ready before visiting.
