I stumbled upon this place while transferring on the subway. It has a kind of overseas shop vibe that makes you want to stop by. I ordered the prosciutto and arugula pizza and the spiced chicken currydoria. Both were delicious. The arugula was incredibly fresh and the leaves were firm. It said it had the highest vitamin content in Japan. The currydoria had a good amount of spice and made me want to drink beer. When I saw it on my way in, they had canelé, but when I passed by a few hours later and went inside, they were sold out. I was told they take a long time to make, starting the day before, so they can't be served right away. They looked really good. You order by scanning a QR code inside. I was a little confused and wasn't sure if I ordered correctly. I was worried the whole time until the food came.
This cafe is located in the basement of "Otemori," a building directly connected to Otemachi Station. While they offer pasta and curry for lunch, I was drawn to their two hearty salad lunch options. The atmosphere felt more like a bar, with a slightly amber or shabby chic vibe that seemed to appeal to both men and women. The power salad was packed with ingredients, and I loved that it included not only leafy greens but also boiled sweet potatoes and carrots. The portion size was generous, and the atmosphere was comfortable. For ¥1200, it felt like a good value. Even though it's directly connected to the station, Otemachi is a bit of a maze, and depending on your line, you might have to walk quite a bit. It's not an area you can easily explore if you're short on time. The B2F floor is a compact space with a mix of restaurants and takeout shops. It gets very crowded during weekday lunch hours, but I was lucky to find a table on this particular day.
Located in the Ootemachi Station underground, on the transfer passage between the Tozai Line and Marunouchi Line, OOTEMORI offers a surprisingly peaceful spot to take a break. With a solid food menu, it's versatile for various purposes. I think it's better value for money than self-service chain cafes. They also seem to offer takeout and canelé.
The dinner menu had a limited selection, which is perfect if you're just looking for a light meal and a few drinks. They had a decent variety of alcoholic beverages, so I was able to enjoy a few different ones. Since the restaurant wasn't very crowded, the food came out quickly after ordering, which was great. The food itself was pretty good. The street in front of the restaurant was very lively with lots of people passing by, which made for a fun and easygoing atmosphere.
Located in a very convenient spot facing the lobby of the Otemachi Tower, right by the subway transfer passage. The interior has a brick-like design with books displayed, creating a calm atmosphere that makes you feel like you're abroad. Orders are placed via smartphone, and alcoholic beverages like beer are served quickly. It's an all-around convenient place for a quick drink and a bite, more suited for a quick meet-up or a casual stop than a leisurely dining experience.
