HOME

For cake, there are two distinct options to compare: banana and carrot. Visitors to HOME have praised both, and another diner singled out the banana cake as a favourite. It could be just the thing for a coffee-and-cake break. One visitor also enjoyed cake and a brownie with coffee made with soy milk.

There are also specific accounts of light meals and lunches. One diner paired hojicha with a tomato-and-cheese sandwich and banana cake, a combination worth noting if you want to enjoy a meal and dessert together. At lunch, a visitor who tried the daily shio-koji fried chicken described a generous portion that also included simmered komatsuna greens and a colourful salad. One report put the set with decaffeinated coffee at 1,500 yen at the time, making it a memorable option for a leisurely meal that continues through to coffee.

Another meal included omurice and a small salad, reportedly served with cream cheese, tomato pesto and radish. The diner also enjoyed café au lait and chocolate cake, so HOME has options both for a proper meal and for a stop centred on cake.

One visitor reported a tatami area furnished with wooden toys and picture books. It is a useful detail to keep in mind for lunch with children, or for a break during a temple visit, alongside the range of food described by diners.
