Cosmos

On a street near Umejima Station, コスモス is a welcoming old-fashioned café that retains its Showa-era character. The compact interior has a few counter seats alongside booth seating, and a relaxed pace carries from morning into the evening.

The lunch menu brings together café classics such as ginger pork, omelettes, Napolitan spaghetti and yakisoba. Lunch menus come with coffee or tea, and diners have appreciated the homely touch of miso soup and salad served alongside the meal.

There are also plenty of rice-based options, including pilaf, beef curry and hayashi beef, with choices to suit different appetites. For a café stop, take a breather over iced coffee or a café au lait, or choose a bright melon soda or lemon squash.

Smoking is permitted throughout, and payment is cash only. It is a place to settle in quietly on your own or stop for an easy meal between strolls around the old downtown.
