Inbeida Shoten

Browsing bottles lined up on the shelves and canned beers chilling in the fridge to find something that suits the mood is part of the pleasure at Kanamachi's Inbeida Shoten. While it offers the casual ease of a neighborhood cafe, the drinks lineup runs broad, ranging from craft beers on tap and in cans to wines and sparkling bottles opened for a corkage fee, as well as house-made sangria.

Savory Sandwiches and an Array of Snacks

The centerpiece of the food menu is the Cuban sandwich layered with homemade roast pork. Crisp, light bread packed with juicy fillings and aromatic herbs makes for a satisfying bite, whether alongside a beer or as a standalone snack. The namesake Invader Dog pairs homemade sausage with genovese sauce, and diners can also opt for a Double Dog loaded with 2 sausages.

Tapas are equally varied, letting guests graze on small plates such as oven-baked chicken liver, house liver mousse, Inca potato fries, and Gorgonzola snack penne. For heartier cravings, the kitchen turns out tender lamb European-style curry, pastas, and lunch-only specials like a beef skirt steak rice bowl.

From Daytime Coffee and Desserts to Late-Night Drinks

It is just as accommodating for a non-alcoholic cafe visit, offering drip coffee with a choice of roast levels, chai lattes, and cream sodas. Dropping in for sweets is just as tempting, with spiced baked cheesecake, retro custard pudding, and affogato drizzled with piping-hot espresso on hand. Open continuously from late morning until late at night, the shop welcomes spontaneous visits, whether for weekend daytime drinks or a quiet nightcap.
