Nice, small place on the walk from Waseda station on Tozai line to Takadanobaba station. They have an entire bookshelf of manga and other reading materials and the place tends to be not too full. The space is small and doesn’t seat very many though. There are about 2 – 3 booths and the rest are stools at the bar overlooking the kitchen(which isn’t a problem, the place is very clean). Service was a bit slow when I went. The food is pretty good and the portion size was generous for me. You get to choose levels of spiciness for the curry sauce and the pork katsu I got was very tender on the inside, crisp with only a thin layer(the way I like it) on the outside.
