%Arabica, known for its minimalist design and small cups of coffee, recently opened the world's first traditional Japanese breakfast restaurant %Shokudō in Kyoto, Japan, officially entering the culinary field. This store is located directly opposite the %Arabica Kyoto Higashiyama store, combining traditional wooden architecture with a glass curtain wall, with only 12 seats, offering a "one soup, three dishes" Japanese breakfast by reservation, priced at 4,800 yen per set including tax, including miso soup, rice, grilled fish as the main dish, and three side dishes, with a choice of tea or %Arabica coffee after the meal.
