JIYUGAOKA LUNCH

Terrace Seats toward Tree-Lined Pedestrian Street. Stoves There in Winter

SHUTTERS is located in Marie Claire pedestrian street wich is lined with trees. Neighboring area became still better-looking because the opposite shop has recently changed into a Paris-style flower shop. SHUTTERS are also in Daikanyama and Kichijouji, here in Jiyugaoka is one of the most popular cafe restaurants. At lunchtime, there are many people and we can usually see people enjoying meals on the terrace seats. People who can bear the cold can sit on the terrace seats even if it's winter because there are stoves.

Soft Spareribs and Applepie Alamode are Popular

Because it's my favorite, I tried clam chowder for ¥630.
It was rather light and runny.

"Mushroom and Vegetables Marinated with Japanese Stock" for ¥945.

And.... Spareribs has come!
We chose soy sauce-based ones because it looked most delicious.
The meat was easilly separated from bones. And it was really soft and juicy.

The left photo is penne with Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheese sauce for ¥1,470.
The right one is spaghetti with Carbonara for ¥1,155.
On the top-right corner of these photos, you can see the block of Parmesan and Olive Oil Sauce which you can put on as much you want.
　

At the end, it is Applepie Alamode for ¥895.
We chose caramel sauce.
You can mix the warm pie and cool vanilla ice then.... Once you eat, sweet flavor and scent spread into your mouth.

New England Taste
Hyannis Port is a casual cafe restaurant which is in the lane of the southern area to the Jiyugaoka station. It makes a homely atmosphere because of the antique tables on which there are green cloths. They have been there for 25 years in Jiyugaoka.

"Hyannis Port" is named after the place where John F.Kennedy, Jr. was going just before his death by airplane. It was one of the famous celebrity resorts in New England in which the Kennedys had a second house. Just because of that, JFK's portrait and pictures of the second house were on the wall, and the background music was oldies. That might be New England taste.

Substantial Meals, Sweets and Alcohol. Popular for Scottish Scones.
They have pasta, sandwiches, minestrone, curries, etc. for lower ¥800 at lunchtime, and also have takeout curries for ¥450. And there are many kinds of alchohol like German beer, Scotch, wine, cocktails, and etc.

Moderately Heavy Clam Chowder
Today, we ate "Today's Special" for ¥1,100.

At the time we visited, They provided corn bread which is free of charge and served to a limited number of visiters. How lucky we were.

We made an extra order of clam chowder because it was my favorite.
I was satisfied with the moderate taste of the sea which I supposed was that of squid.

After we finished eating salad, here came the pasta.
The left photo was well-boiled beef pasta which was an original combination.
The right one was spaghetti of tomato stewed chicken.
　

Home made puddings were served as dessert. It was melt-in-the-mouth.

Landmark of A Maple Tree
Cafe CABANON is a cafe restaurant which is located in the western area of Jiyugaoka. The select shop Tomorrowland owns this cafe.
I noticed that Maple Street was named after a maple tree which is in the center of the shop's garden. All seats on the terraces and 1-2F are crowded at lunchtime.

Healthy and Elegant foods
They have healthy menus including bread made from natural yeast and grains, and other elegant style menus from ¥900 at lunchtime. They also have galette and quiche, in addition to pasta.
Today, I ate a fried chicken cutlet for ¥1,050. You can choose bread or grains, so I chose the latter.

Oh yes, the Beaujolais Nouveau ban was recently removed. They had "Poire" - a cooktail of pear sorbet poured in Beaujolais Nouveau by chance. So I ordered it.
By the synergy of both of the pear sorbet and Nouveau, It was very fresh and fruity.
