I'm in Iwanai Town for work, so I'll be staying in Sapporo and the surrounding areas for a while. I'm a bit tired after the recent trip around the entire Hokkaido for the past few days. I used to be fine with this kind of trip in the past, but maybe it's because of my age now (^^;) I'll take it easy over the weekend (laughs). Now, it's lunchtime. I'll visit the cafe "Saboru" that I had noted down. The name sounds good, doesn't it? I might end up staying there for a while (￣▽￣) Ah! Just kidding (laughs). I was a bit indecisive, but I'll go with the Hamburger Lunch. It's a tempting menu for someone who loves cafe food like me. It arrived in less than 10 minutes! Let's dig in~♪ It's hard to tell from the picture, but the sauce is sizzling. The charm of a hot plate! I'm happy with the sunny-side-up egg. The hamburger is fluffy and juicy. The sauce is ketchup, it seems. An older lady brought me miso soup almost at the end of my meal, saying she forgot to serve it earlier. "Sorry about that." It's no problem at all. I didn't even notice (^^;) Thanks for the delicious meal!! Next time, I'll try the hot plate spaghetti! I'll visit again soon♪

This is a cafe near a Michi-no-Eki in Iwanai Town, Iwanai District. I visited for the first time on a business trip to Iwanai. The interior has a retro and chic atmosphere. I came for lunch, but it's also a nice place to relax and have coffee. I ordered the iron plate meat sauce. The iron plate is served lightly sizzling, just enough to not burn the noodles. At first, I thought the sauce was a bit lacking, but it turned out to be quite generous, so I enjoyed it more towards the end. The tomato-based sauce is a delicious meat sauce, and as someone from Kushiro, it reminds me a bit of Izumiya's taste. The direction is somewhat similar, I think. Yes, this is the type of meat sauce I like. The noodles are a bit soft, which I also like. I thought it was just meat sauce on top, but then some sautéed vegetables like 2 pieces of bell pepper, a few slices of onion, and a couple of eggplants appeared from underneath the sauce. It adds a nice touch to prevent it from getting boring. The elderly lady who seems to be the owner is very friendly, and I would love to visit this place again if I have the chance to come back to Iwanai. Thank you for the meal!

I visited for lunch. I was in Iwanai Town for work. I always have a hard time deciding, but this time I ordered the "Hamburger Lunch." The hamburger was delicious♫ It came with a fried egg, potatoes, and carrots as sides! They were also delicious (^^) I would like to come back to eat here again. Thank you for the meal٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

I visited for lunch during work in Iwanai Town. This time, I ordered the "Iron Plate Cutlet Meat" with salad. The Iron Plate Cutlet Meat arrives steaming hot on a sizzling iron plate. It looks incredibly delicious! I added Tabasco sauce and enjoyed it. It was so tasty! After the meal, I ordered a coffee. I definitely want to come back to this place. Thank you for the meal!

Nowadays, if you slack off at a cafe, you'll get a big scolding from your boss thanks to dash cams and GPS tracking, right? Well, I'm self-employed so I'll just be scolding myself if I slack off ( ´,_ゝ｀)ﾌﾟｯ Anyway, I came to Iwanai town for a visit to the cemetery. When you're in the countryside, the first thing that comes to mind is where to have lunch... Iwanai is known for sushi or tempura ramen, but on this day, I came here in search of a cafe lunch. In Iwanai town, from the 1st to the 15th and from the 16th to the 31st, the right or left lane allows roadside parking. Since parking spaces are limited, remember this. So, I entered the cafe with a charming exterior and found the place quite crowded, barely squeezing into a booth. Despite the name "cafe," the interior is non-smoking, which is great. The nostalgic atmosphere inside the cafe really takes you back to the Showa era. Looking at the menu, there's spaghetti, curry, pizza, and desserts, but my eyes were immediately drawn to the "Hamburger Napolitan (1,150 yen)." I just had to order it. A salad arrived first, complete with a fork wrapped in a paper napkin. The tangy dressing with crunchy chopped cabbage, cucumber, carrot, and sweet cherry tomatoes was delightful. And then, here it is - the Hamburger Napolitan. A handmade hamburger patty covered in demi-glace sauce on a hot plate. The red Napolitan pasta and demi-glace sauce complement each other perfectly. The spaghetti was soft and reminiscent of udon noodles, and the ketchup and tomato sauce combination was classic. The thick hamburger patty was juicy and paired well with the demi-glace sauce. It was a delicious meal that ended too quickly. Well, until next time, maybe next year... Bon appétit!

On the 2nd day of my early spring trip to Hokkaido, I visited the well-established cafe "Kissa Saboru," located a short walk from the "Michi no Eki Iwanai." This nostalgic cafe exudes a Showa-era atmosphere. Their signature dish seems to be the classic Neapolitan. They also serve a carefully brewed blend coffee, one cup at a time using a pour-over method.

This is a restaurant that is worth driving three hours to get to. It has a nostalgic atmosphere, and everything you order is delicious. The interior is calming, and no one is looking at their phones. Everyone looks happy. The lace curtains by the window add a nice touch. The staff are friendly and welcoming to outsiders. I spent a relaxing time here, forgetting about the time. Today, I had spaghetti vongole and strawberry soda. My husband had meat sauce on a hot plate and coffee. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Hamburg Napolitan is top-notch. It's great that it includes pork belly instead of ham, sausage, or bacon! I enjoyed it with a delicious iced coffee after the meal.

I visited the restaurant after 22 years. I couldn't believe my eyes when I found it, but it was just the same as before. I ordered the classic Neapolitan spaghetti, which was as delicious as ever! I couldn't finish the large portion this time, but the taste remained unchanged. The owner was as beautiful as always.

It's a cozy café with a friendly mom-like owner! When you visit Iwanai Town, be sure to stop by this café with a great atmosphere. _(..)_ ===========

A classic Showa-era café in Iwanai Town. The owner is dapper, and his wife always looks beautiful with her makeup. All the dishes are delicious, and you can even have dinner after work. While chatting with the wife, she mentioned wanting to restore the sandy beach on Iwanai's coast. This might be part of the city's historical redevelopment. Although Iwanai Town is far away, I hope this café continues to thrive forever.

It was delicious.

I arrived earlier than my planned revisit on December 17, 2013, so I decided to stop by for a coffee. I don't usually eat sweets, but sometimes I crave them. The homemade cheesecake, although I don't think it was homemade, tasted delicious. The coffee was smooth and easy to drink. Is 600 yen a reasonable price for this? I had a day trip to Iwanai and was unsure where to have lunch. I was drawn to a restaurant I saw and decided to go in. As soon as I entered, I felt the stares from the customers and staff as I walked to the back. The menu was not extensive, and there was no special lunch menu. I reluctantly ordered the hamburger steak lunch with extra rice. It didn't take long for the meal to arrive. The hot plate came with a fried egg, potatoes, carrots, and a surprisingly large hamburger steak. The hamburger steak was hot and delicious. It wasn't very juicy, but it suited my taste. The side dishes were cooked just right. However, the disappointing part was the rice. The extra rice was only 50 yen more, which I thought was reasonable, but the rice had a smell of the rice cooker. Please improve the rice since the hamburger steak was so good. The soup was also lacking in flavor and needs improvement. It would have been even better if it came with coffee. In the end, the hot and delicious hamburger steak lunch with extra rice cost 850 yen.

It's a distant memory, but when it comes to Sabol, I can't quite remember if it was colorful cream soda or soda water. There were four flavors: red, yellow, blue, and green, and I remember being unsure which one to choose, but since there were four of us, we each ordered a different one. The atmosphere was dim but very cozy and comfortable. (However, the smell of cigarettes is quite strong, so if you dislike it, you might find it a bit unpleasant.) The Napolitan dish also tasted just like the old-fashioned coffee shop flavor. The master, a charming older man with white hair, had a very pleasant demeanor. I can't help but think I want to come back again.
