Kogane Kitchen

After a soak at Koganeyu, some diners have been struck by the modest size of the Lamb Lamb Burger and its refined flavour, which avoids feeling too much like fast food. It comes with soup and fries, making it an easy choice when you want a meal centred on a burger. Kogane Kitchen is on the 2 floor of Koganeyu, though some people also stop by just to eat.

For a more substantial meal, consider the curry, served with soup. The chicken curry combines chicken thigh, simmered slowly, with a house blend of more than 10 spices; it comes with barley rice. The Lamb Lamb Keema also comes with barley rice and soup, and can be topped with options such as coriander, nuts or pumpkin. One diner found the lamb curry mildly spicy and easy to eat, offering another way to enjoy lamb beyond a burger.

For a drink that feels distinctive to the café, try the ro-ryu coffee. Served for 2–3 people with a vihkta whisk and ladle-shaped cookies, it is an interactive coffee that you drip yourself, much like pouring water over sauna stones. If you’re having coffee on your own, the Koganeyu Blend is available hot or iced. There is also a terrace, giving you a choice of where to enjoy your meal or coffee.
