WHIZ CAFE

Set on the 1st floor of APA Hotel Kanda-Higashi in Iwamotocho, WHIZ CAFE serves a menu tailored to various appetites, ranging from wholesome spiced fare to hearty meat plates. A signature lunch choice is the mackerel curry, made without meat by drawing deep savor from vegetables and mackerel; its light, pourable roux carries fragrant spices like cumin and pairs naturally with firmer-cooked rice. Diners can match their mood with distinct styles of curry, including a vegan keema curry built on vegetables and grains, or a slow-simmered beef tendon curry brimming with meat.

For a quicker bite, the sandwich selection offers reliable options. Served as warm toasted sandwiches, they include a pulled pork sandwich flavored with a sharp sweet-and-spicy spice mix, as well as a meatball and cheese sandwich pairing crisp bread with piping-hot fillings. To drink, the cafe offers hand-drip coffee and creamy nitro brew, along with spiced tea, crisp lemonade, and other cafe beverages.

The tidy interior is finished in white tones, with counter seats on the 1st floor and table seating on the 2nd floor, creating an easygoing atmosphere for solo visits. Equipped with Wi-Fi, the space accommodates morning visits from 7:00 and weekday lunches from Monday through Thursday.
