01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Rune Cafe pairs approachable comfort with playful touches, serving everything from classic Neapolitan pasta brought to the table on a sizzling iron skillet to unconventional creations like minced pork sauce combined with crushed natto. Tucked away in a calm corner near Kawasaki-Daishi Station, it provides a quiet setting to unwind at your own pace, whether you are stopping in for a full meal or an afternoon drink.
A flexible lunch of satisfying pastas and set meals
The savory lineup features a wide range of options, from pastas such as iron-skillet Neapolitan, tomato Bolognese, and Korean-style carbonara to hearty teishoku sets featuring ginger fried pork or demiglace-sauced hamburger steak. Set options allowing diners to mix and match soup, salad, and coffee make it an easy, dependable spot when you want a substantial lunch.
A sweet pause with crisp croissant pastries and house desserts
A prime teatime draw is the "Fukuro-issant," baked from crisp, flaky croissant dough. They come with sweet fillings like Anno sweet potato paste or chocolate, as well as savory fillings like bacon and egg, making them well-suited for a light bite. The menu also covers traditional cafe sweets, including a firm, house-made custard pudding and soft-serve coffee ice cream with a mild roasted bitterness.
Paired with a cup of blended coffee, a cafe au lait, or a cream soda, it makes a pleasant stop to rest before or after visiting the temple or walking through the area.
