A short walk from Tawaramachi Station, Pelican CAFE is marked by a red tent and is run directly by a long-established bakery that bakes only shokupan (bread loaves) and rolls. Its signature dish is thick-cut toast slowly charcoal-grilled on a custom-made rack, giving it a fragrant grid pattern with a crisp exterior and a dense, chewy interior. It is served with butter and a daily-changing jam such as apple or apricot. The ham cutlet sandwich, made with thick-cut, deep-fried local Asakusa ham, is a hearty item layered with cabbage, house-made mayonnaise, and mustard. The cafe also offers seasonal fruit sandwiches, omelet sandwiches, and a blend coffee said to have a good balance of richness and acidity. The interior is a bright, natural space using solid wood, compact with 18 seats, entirely non-smoking, and free Wi-Fi is available. Lines often form before the 9:00 opening, and order is managed with numbered tickets, so an early visit is recommended.
