Arubarudan

For a substantial start to the day, try the bacon and egg toast. The menu lists it with salad and fruit, alongside other breakfast choices such as toast, sandwiches and hot dogs. One diner described bacon and egg served on toast with a side salad, plus soup served separately from the tea. Another noted the sweet-leaning sauce, making this a breakfast option worth considering if you fancy something a little different from plain toast.

Lunch ranges from lighter dishes to daily set meals and fried-food sets. A diner who chose the daily special reported teriyaki yellowtail with small side dishes, salad and tempura—a choice for anyone looking for a main dish with a few accompaniments. Someone who ordered the yakisoba set recalled that it came with rice and miso soup, as well as a small side dish, vegetables and dessert. The menu also includes omelette rice, curry rice and spaghetti with cod roe, among other choices for days when a set meal is not what you fancy.

A cake set makes a fitting pause after lunch or in the afternoon. One diner who chose matcha cake and mont blanc described the cakes as restrained in sweetness and the accompanying coffee as notable for its aroma and smooth mouthfeel. Set drinks include coffee and tea, as well as café au lait and a selection of juices. Arubarudan is open from 6 in the morning, serving breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks throughout the day. It is in Nishisuminoe, Suminoe Ward, and on Thursdays it closes at noon.
