Tried the “Gohan Teishoku Set” at Knut cafe in Koshienguchi! [Nishitsu Gourmet]

Nishitsu’s food writer introduces restaurants she has visited in this series, “Nishitsu Gourmet.”
This time, we visited a place about a 5-minute walk from JR Koshienguchi Station:

“Knut cafe（クヌート カフェ）”✨

Knut cafe（クヌート カフェ）

Knut cafe（クヌート カフェ） is a cozy little café tucked away in Honwaka Shopping Street in Koshienguchi, with an adorable polar bear motif☺️

When I entered, the café was full of female customers✨

The interior has an antique feel with wood tones throughout, and it’s very stylish😆

Japanese Food at a Café Is Stylish and Delicious!

Since it’s a café, I expected Western-style dishes, but…
they had healthy Japanese set meals on the menu✨

▽The menu looks like this.

In addition to classic set meals…

they also have toast and sweets🎵

For the set meal, I was torn between the fried chicken and the roast beef… but I went with the fried chicken😆✨

Knut cafe’s classic rice set meal: Fried Chicken Thigh with Ginger and Cucumber Black Vinegar Sauce（1,120 yen including tax）

In addition to the main fried chicken, it comes with plenty of items, including salad, side dishes, and rice❗️

A large serving of rice is free, which is great for anyone who wants to eat a lot🎵

First, the miso soup❗️

Even for Mii, who has a sensitive tongue for hot foods, it wasn’t too hot, and the gentle flavor was so comforting✨

The side dishes were seasoned just right, not too strong and not too light, and everything was delicious😊

Simmered eggplant…

A salad with cucumber, carrot, and olives in mayonnaise sauce.

And then, the main fried chicken😆✨

What surprised me when I took a bite was the incredibly crispy texture, almost falling apart❗️

The flavor was amazing too, with plenty of garlic☺️❤️

And when dipped in the ginger and cucumber black vinegar sauce, the flavor stood out even more. So good🎵

The rice had lots of different soybeans mixed in, making it very healthy✨

Everything was really delicious, and for women, the portion is enough to leave you full❗️

Men who want to eat a lot can also get a larger serving of the side dishes for an additional charge❗️

A large serving of rice is free✨
