It takes about twenty minutes from Shinagawa station to Umeyashiki station by the Keikyu Line.

Keikyu Line is easy to access for Shinagawa, Haneda Airport and Yokohama.

You should get off at one station before Kamata station.

Turn left when you get off at the Umeyashiki station. And go straight for about ten minutes on foot while looking at many shops on both ends.

You will see a cafe such as a hut on the left side.

This is a cafe called “Biwako” is introduces in this article. “Biwako” is the same name as the lake in Shiga prefecture.

Let’s try entering the cafe!

It has a dark colored wood and white colored walls of the cafe. And the cafe is bright from the sunlight that comes in through the big window along the street.

There are some tables for two and four people.

One of the famous Japanese actors used to be a regular customer. There is his signature at the cafe, so please look at it if you’re interested.

Neapolitan Spaghetti is also delicious!

Do you know “Neapolitan Spaghetti”?

It’s one of the popular foods at the Japanese traditional cafes! It uses a ketchup sauce, slices of green pepper, onion, and stuff like that. It tastes a little sour because it uses a ketchup sauce.

The features of this cafe’s menu use ground meats. So you can taste, the texture of meat.

The menu was introduced on the TV show!

Plum soda is perfect for a hot day!

My other recommendation is “Plum soda”.

It uses handmade plum jam and pours soda. So it’s perfect for summer!

You can enjoy drinking it while mixing with soda or eating the jam directly.

The soda has a big glass, so you might be able to spend a long time.
