Tucked inside the iconic Maruzen bookstore on the third floor of Nihonbashi Maruzen Tokyu Building, this literary café pairs the pleasure of browsing books with a refined dining experience. The warm, wood-toned interior evokes a classic reading room atmosphere, with natural light and a calm, cultured ambiance. Best known for its legendary Hayashi Rice — a slow-simmered demi-glace beef stew on rice that originated at Maruzen in the Meiji era — the menu also spans fresh parfaits, handcrafted cakes, sandwiches, and quality coffee and tea. A beloved retreat for Nihonbashi shoppers and literary enthusiasts alike.
