01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
For a lighter start, choose toast; for something more substantial, try the egg sandwich. Durian’s morning menu also includes ham toast and bread rolls, all served with coffee or tea for 450 yen. One diner who chose the egg sandwich for breakfast remarked on its generous portion. Salad and yoghurt are also listed at 150 yen each, making them an option to add on the side.
At lunchtime, the choices include café-style staples such as pasta and curry. A diner who ordered the pasta set recalled a meal of salad, bread, pasta and coffee, and felt the pasta had been prepared with care. The dry keema curry combines minced chicken and pork with onion, carrot and mushrooms; its flavour is described as clean and well-rounded, bringing out the savoury notes of the vegetables. Other options include an Indian-style chicken curry that balances yoghurt’s tang with spices, and a European-style beef curry made with 30 kinds of spices.
Durian is open from 7 to 18 in the morning and is closed on Fridays. From breakfast toast and sandwiches to a proper lunch, this Komagawa café offers different ways to drop in throughout the day.
