Travel to Tohoku, Japan! When you visit Tohoku, especially our hometown Akita, you can enjoy some ethnic food and Western food in the city. Here are unique Akita attractions; international cafes and restaurants! We hope you’ll enjoy them as well as other attractions in Akita!
１．NAMASTE
Naan and curry at NAMASTE are made by Nepalese cook. I recommend you to taste the real Indian bread; naan!
As a repeater of this restaurant, I ordered Lunch Set (as usual), which is a combo of naan, salad and juice. You can choose your favorite juice from drink menu. Mine is always mango juice!
Besides, there is a free refill of naan or rice! The lunch menu are; Today’s Special Set, Rice Curry Set, Cheese Naan Set, Tandoori Set, and so on.
The lunch time here is comparatively long, so you may enjoy brunch time, too. Enjoy the ethnic food!

２．Retro Café “Ijinkan”
Ijinkan has been renovated in 2019. Although there are small changes compared to before, the cozy atmosphere inside the café remains the same! The green curtain outside is beautiful, too! I could enjoy the relaxing tea time there.
Ijinkan also serves breakfast food and lunch.
Today, I ordered a combo of unbaked cheesecake and blended coffee (880 yen, as of August 2020). Tasty!
The menu includes Ijinkan curry, Tarako (cod roe) spaghetti, butter toast, French toast, etc. The drink menu includes blended coffee, American coffee, Café au lait, coffee float, Lemon Tea, Milk Tea, and so on.
Although this is not exactly international café but Ijinkan will give you nostalgic atmosphere to relax!
