About this place
Slicing into the crepe releases a glossy pool of warm melted butter across the folded pancake, mingling with the fine crunch of granulated sugar. At Makiya in Oji, the sugar-butter crepe is not street food eaten on the go, but an excuse to pause with knife and fork. Tender and moist, the crepe carries the richness of dairy that pairs naturally with the mild roast of the house blend coffee.
Substantial savory fare is another pillar of this traditional kissaten. Lunchtime's popular omurice features tender seasoned rice dotted with diced ham beneath soft egg, wrapped in a deep, buttery finish. Other house classics show similar attention to detail, including dry curry livened with minced pork, scallions, and tomato tang, alongside sandwiches layered with thick-cut cheese.
Beginning at 8:30, morning sets provide straightforward comfort with buttered toast, a hard-boiled egg, fresh salad, and a hot drink. With well-spaced tables and an unhurried air, the dining room invites solo drop-ins at any hour. The shop permits smoking throughout, making it a familiar respite for smokers, and accepts PayPay at the register.
