Emu

Stumbling upon Emu on the 2 floor of Nakano Broadway brings a welcome chance to step away from the bustling corridors and settle into a slower pace. Furnished with comfortable cushions on the chairs and nostalgic touches throughout the room, the neat rows of tables make an easy retreat for shoppers looking to unwind.

For tea time, the pancake set paired with coffee or tea is a comforting choice. If you prefer a cold, sweet treat, the menu features a generous selection of floats topped with vanilla ice cream, ranging from classic melon cream soda and iced coffee or tea floats to variations made with Calpis and iced cocoa.

The cafe also serves a substantial lineup of savory meals. The pork ginger set meal, stir-fried with onion and green bell pepper, arrives with rice, miso soup, and pickles, and can be ordered with an after-meal drink. Diners can also choose classic kissaten staples like Napolitan spaghetti, pilaf, and yakisoba, alongside distinctive noodle dishes such as kimchi and spicy pollock roe spaghetti, making it a handy spot for a casual lunch.

Table service is provided, and payment is cash only. Whether you are dropping in for a cool drink during a shopping break or settling down for a hearty homestyle meal, Emu serves as an unhurried perch in the heart of Nakano.
