About

Hobodo serves a rotating Japanese lunch set of brown rice, miso soup, and around seven or eight seasonal vegetable sides; recent reviews put the meal at about ¥1,600. The narrow cafe has just a handful of seats, books along the walls, and traditional ohagi with drinks such as brown sugar ginger soy milk, so check its schedule and arrive early before the limited lunch sets sell out.
