A modern space with a Japanese feel throughout. The music you can hear is soothing, and even though the store and its surroundings are located within 6 minutes from the station, it feels like a peaceful time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The space, which has received architectural attention and received the Excellence Award at the 52nd General Architecture Competition, has two spaces, the North Room and the South Room, and the atrium that connects them changes its expression depending on the season. A change of direction has been put in place.

The breakfast I had this time was a morning porridge set made with plenty of Yuba ordered from Chimaruya in Kyoto. This colorful set created by head chef Katayama costs 2,000 yen and includes staple foods such as duck loin and grilled fish, a combination of cooked vegetables, and dessert. The yuba porridge is topped with an ankake made from Shinsou's original blend of ``Yukihira'' soup stock, which has a rich and elegant flavor. You can eat a variety of well-balanced dishes in small portions, and the deep flavor that only a specialty restaurant can offer, which uses dashi for everything, is gentle on the tongue, stomach, and heart, creating a luxurious breakfast filled with Japanese aesthetics. I'll give it to you. What's more, you can buy anything you like during your meal at the shop attached to the Kita-no-ma room. The Kamakura store is the only one that carries products from both Shinsou, which started making kelp tsukudani in the Edo period, and Sotatsu Dashi Kobo, so be sure to use it for shopping as well.

A modern and stylish store with a white theme. All walls facing the street have been removed, creating an open and refreshing atmosphere. The open terrace seating looks like it cuts through the blue sky, and the outside light shines in, creating a refreshing atmosphere.

Salmon tartare, avocado and poached egg, six kinds of vegetables and spicy grilled chicken salad...From among the many menus, this time we had the popular French toast and grilled Daisen chicken set, along with champagne. Brioche is used for French toast! Marinated overnight, it is crispy and fragrant on the outside, with a rich custard-like texture on the inside. Its moderate sweetness goes perfectly with the juicy and filling grilled chicken. Having a glass of champagne along with it gives you a feeling of luxury.

At BRUNCH KITCHEN, as the name suggests, you can enjoy brunch from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. So, on days when you wake up slowly, there is no need to rush. How wonderful would it be to wake up slowly, take a leisurely train ride, leisurely walk around the streets of Kamakura, and then have a leisurely brunch? You too can have a day where you can enjoy brunch to your heart's content.

GARDEN HOUSE near the ward office. As you pass through the entrance surrounded by plants, you will find a 50-year-old atelier and a lush garden terrace. I sat down on the terrace and had granola, coffee, and today's smoothie. The yogurt served with the store's special granola is studded with brightly colored figs, oranges, blueberries, cucumbers, and bananas, and the maple syrup on the side gives it a refreshing sweetness. And today's smoothie was papaya, grapefruit, and apple. Since it's freshly made, it's very fresh and has a gentle natural sweetness. As I gazed at the garden while drinking coffee with a couple reading a newspaper and neighbors stopping by with their dog (water service available for dogs too!), my busy body relaxed. I'm going to relax.

For breakfast, you can enjoy five types of pancakes, French toast, and freshly made craft beer from the morning. We also sell miscellaneous goods such as tableware and clothing, as well as gardening tools. True to the concept of LOCAL&CRAFT, the garden features a menu made with local ingredients, and is visited by many people from the neighborhood. Why not spend a relaxing morning at GARDEN HOUSE?

Start your day with a healthy morning meal! Gentle local flavor that hasn't changed for 90 years

Early in the morning in Kamakura, Asakusa Shokudo, a long-established restaurant founded in Taisho 13, opens at 6am. The shop is filled with Japanese sake, along with a collection of sailboat models and miniature classic cars. For a moment, I wondered if I could actually eat morning rice, but the third-generation manager, Mr. Fujiwara, cheerfully greeted me from the counter in the back. So, without further ado, I ordered Asakusa Shokudo's proud "old-fashioned ramen" and gyoza! I've been so exhausted since this morning! ? Don't be surprised. The ramen soup is based on pork, chicken, and sardines, and has a slightly sweet and gentle taste. It soaks into your freshly woken up body, making the noodles smooth and smooth. The dumplings are packed with green onions, salmon, cabbage, garlic, and other vegetables and are very juicy. With each bite, my sleeping body wakes up and I feel more and more energized. There is also a breakfast set that includes rice cooked in a Hagama pot, miso soup with plenty of Kamakura vegetables, hot spring eggs, ham and eggs, etc. These days, it's getting colder and colder as winter approaches. After warming up your mind and body at Asakusa Shokudo, let's head out into the streets of Kamakura!

Old and new standards created by values that value everyday life

COBAKABA
1-13-15 Komachi, Kamakura City
Phone: 0467-22-6131
Closed: Wednesday
Morning business hours: 8:00-10:00
Access: 3 minutes walk from the east exit of JR Kamakura Station

The exterior has a woody and familiar feel to it, and the kitchen immediately catches your eye as soon as you step inside. The sight of young female staff members wearing slings and aprons cooking the food is also impressive. The space has a wonderful balance of liveliness that befits a store near a market, but at the same time, a sense of calm and calmness. The exhibits that change every month may also play a role in this. When I visited in October for this interview, works by design label seto, known for its animal-shaped products, were on display. Depending on the day, events such as rakugo and live performances are also held. The owner, Mr. Uchibori, says he is aiming to create a place "like an intersection where people gather." Kamakura is a tourist destination that is visited by many people from outside the country, but for locals, the markets, the sea, and the mountains are part of their daily lives. For COBACABA, who wants to cherish everyday life, his breakfast is simple and standard, and that's why it tastes like everyday clothes.

This time I had a fried egg set meal. Eating a fried egg with homemade additive-free dashi soup is exceptional, and it's also delicious when mixed with melty yolk and five-grain rice that's cooked to just the right consistency. You can also add natto, daily small side dishes, and desserts as options. In addition, the "Betsubara Donuts" sold near the entrance are a recommended take-out menu that may sell out. You can buy them without going into the store, so shopping at the market with donuts and a drink in hand might be a Kamakura-like way to spend your morning.

Extra edition - Kamakura market crowded with people from the morning

Lastly, as an extra, I would like to introduce the Kamakura market "Kamakura City Agricultural Cooperative Federation", which is located next to COBAKABA.
In addition to getting seasonal Kamakura vegetables every morning, you can also buy bread from the popular bakery "Paradise Alley" inside the market, so it's a place you can't help but stop by when you're in Kamakura. I also recommend going early in the morning.
