Monzen Coffee

Diners have praised the tenderness and savoury flavour of the roast beef sandwich; one reviewer called it “excellent”. On the Monzen Coffee menu, a sandwich filled with Japanese Black Wagyu roast beef costs ¥1,100. It is described as a house-prepared speciality with deep, rich flavour and a fragrant finish, making it a hearty option for lunch.

For a lunch that puts vegetables alongside the meat, the Roast Beef Salad costs ¥1,100. It comes with house-made roast beef cooked at a low temperature, salad, quiche, egg salad and marinated carrots.

The morning set costs ¥1,100 and includes a choice of Americano, drip coffee, tea or orange juice. A café latte can be added for ¥100. One breakfast visitor mentioned receiving an egg sandwich and salad, along with a cookie; egg sandwiches are also listed on the menu. The sandwich costs ¥580 and pairs egg with mustard mayonnaise for a Japanese-style flavour and a gentle kick. It makes an easy choice for breakfast or a light brunch with coffee.

For dessert, Monzen Original Pudding costs ¥600. Its firm texture has also caught the attention of diners who have tried it. The flavour recalls the nostalgic puddings served in old-fashioned Japanese cafés.

Drinks include a matcha latte made with Yame matcha from Fukuoka Prefecture (¥750) and hand-drip coffee (¥680), with beans from different origins and roasts to choose from. Some diners have enjoyed the matcha latte enough to return for it. Hand-drip options range from a dark-roast blend to a light roast described as bright like lemon tea, with honey-like sweetness. A coffee on its own after a meal is another possibility.
