[Issha, Meito-ku] Spend a perfect Morning at Cafe "Sunny Day" to Start a Good Day!

"SUNNY DAY" opened in December 2022 at Issha in Meito Ward!

The owner, Mr. Sato, says, "I want to make this a place where you can start a good day, just like on a sunny day."

A Cafe with an Atmosphere of Oceania is Now Open!

When you step into the store, the name of the store is on the floor...!

A 7-minute walk from Issha Station. When the store opens in the morning, the counter is lined with many freshly baked muffins.

Facing the road, the large windows on one side stop people walking to the station. The scent of freshly baked muffins and fragrant coffee invites you involuntarily. Such a mysterious cafe! So, we asked the owner, Mr. Sato, about "the secret that makes you stop by casually".

You can Drop By Casually,
Cafe where Time Flows Slowly

– A cafe with big windows facing the street.

Mr. Sato: "That's right. I was looking for a place with big windows facing the road, and I came across this place. While I was visiting various countries for cooking training, I was particularly attracted to the cafe culture of Australia and New Zealand.

It's a town by the sea, and it feels like time is slowly passing by. In Australia's coffee culture, the shops are open from around 6:00 in the morning, and neighbors come to buy coffee in their pajamas. Like before work or when walking the dog. I wanted to create a cafe with that kind of atmosphere. "

– It would be nice to have a cafe where you can casually stop by! Are you particular about the interior design as well?

Mr. Sato: "I wanted to create a store that doesn't have to be so intimidating. You can casually stop by even with just a cup of coffee. People from outside will be drawn to the muffins on the counter.

The interior is scattered here and there, and the number of seats is reduced to create a relaxing space. Also, all the chairs are antiques, and I chose them one by one. I hope you find a chair you like.

By the way, I like the rocking chair that faces the window (laughs). I made the counter at my parents' workshop. Anyway, I rounded the corners and finished it gently and comfortably. "

Morning Breakfast that Makes you Feel Happy

–I heard that you put a lot of effort into morning breakfast!

Mr. Sato: "Eggs Benedict, which can be said to be the national dish of Australia and New Zealand, is the signature dish of our cafe.

Even with the same menu name Eggs Benedict, the taste and selling points are completely different depending on the shop, so I take the good points of the shops I met overseas and pack them into my Eggs Benedict (laughs). By all means, I would like you to taste both. "

One plate with today's soup and 2 kinds of appetizers - Eggs Benedict with Slow-simmered pork, special tomato sauce and Hollande sauce (1,400 yen)

– It's very voluminous.

Mr. Sato: "We want you to feel luxurious and happy from the morning, so we offer a large volume from the morning! Isn't it important to start early in the morning? If you start early in the morning, you'll be able to spend the day wonderfully. I'd be happy if you could spend the start of the day meaningfully at home."

Coffee Made with Selected Beans

– You also have a particular interest in coffee.

Mr. Sato: "We use a bean called 'ALLPRESS' from New Zealand. This bean has a flavor like caramel and chocolate, and you can enjoy the gorgeousness of citrus. Australian cafes use this bean with a high probability. However, there are few cafes in Japan that use this bean, and some customers come just for this coffee. New Zealanders and Australians also come."

The Origin of "SUNNY DAY"

Mr. Sato, the owner.

– Is there an origin for the store name?

Mr. Sato: "SUNNY DAY literally translates to 'a sunny day.' If you wake up in the morning and the sun is out, it looks like it's going to be a good day. I feel good. I want it to be the start of a good day. That's why I chose this store name."

– I found a cute illustration at the entrance!

Mr. Sato:"It's our logo. It's an image of the sun and sunflowers. It's cute, isn't it? I've been drawing this picture since I was a student, and I've always wanted to use it for my shop."

A Cafe where You can See your Face from the Morning

– From now on, the cafe will become even more popular.

Mr. Sato: "I'm happy that a lot of people have come from the beginning of the opening until today. From now on, I want to make the shop even more 'morning'.

From 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning, we are making time for to-go only. We are offering coffee and muffins at that time. Surprisingly, there are many customers who only use to-go. They stop by before heading out somewhere in the morning. It's early from 8:00 am, but if you start from 9:00, you won't be able to stop by before you go out, so I'd like to continue working hard in the morning. "

SUNNY DAY has been popular ever since it opened. There was a lot of commitment to the shop of the owner, Mr. Sato, and a lot of thoughts for customers. If you are going near Issha Station, why not stop by SUNNY DAY?
