Photography is allowed for the food only – you cannot take pictures of the interior. • Menu & Food Style • The food is made from organic ingredients, with a “home-cooked” style inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s wishes. • The menu includes hot and cold dishes, sweets, and even alcoholic beverages such as “Valley of the Wind” beer. • Signature items include the “straw hat parfait,” vegetable garden soup, and beautifully crafted desserts. • Tips for Visiting the Café • Go as early as possible. The 10:00 AM time slot is most popular, and you may wait 15–60 minutes to be seated. • After the café, enjoy the museum exhibits, visit the rooftop Robot Soldier, and take a relaxing walk in Inokashira Park nearby. ⸻ ✨ Other Nearby Highlights • Booking Museum Tickets: Tickets are available about 1 month in advance (via Lawson in Japan or authorized overseas resellers). • Other Nearby Cafés: • Cafe du Lievre (Inokashira Park): A charming crepe and coffee shop, great for a post-museum treat. • Shirohige’s Cream Puff Factory (Setagaya): Famous for Totoro-shaped cream puffs, beloved by Ghibli fans.
