01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Those arriving with a serious appetite will want to head straight for the Rigel-style Turkish rice. The dish layers shredded cabbage and a freshly fried pork tonkatsu over aromatic dry curry fried rice, finished with a generous ladle of house-made demi-glace sauce. It is a hearty, deeply satisfying plate, where the richness of the cutlet and savory sauce pairs naturally with a crisp side salad or a clean, freshly brewed coffee to follow.

From Light Bites to Sweet Treats

Beyond the hearty yoshoku plates, Rigel provides an extensive selection of quick bakery fare and classic kissaten sweets. Alongside standard sandwiches and toast, the hot pressed sandwiches stand out, toasted crisp and filled with savory combinations like curry potato, croquette, or tuna. For an afternoon break, the cafe bakes thick, fluffy pancakes alongside crisp waffles—including the berry berry version finished with blueberry and raspberry fruit sauce—both available in drink sets.

From Morning Brews to Midday Breaks

Opening at 7:00, the cafe accommodates every rhythm of the day, from early morning sets to midday lunches and afternoon pauses. The house blend is brewed using a siphon vacuum pot, combining Brazilian and Colombian beans for a clean, sharp finish that comes complimentary with the weekday daily lunch special. A spacious free parking lot is provided on site, and payment is cash only.
