The tamago sando at kissaten Hamanoya Parlour is a savory warm omelet with a schmear of mayonnaise and karashi mustard on white bread. The fruits sando includes peaches and pineapple with whipped cream, a luxurious start to the day. Tunes hum from a record player near the kitchen is a nod back to the 60s which is the feel of this coffee shop.

Hamanoya Parlour first opened in 1966 in the Hibiya Park Building (now The Peninsula hotel). It recently moved to the Nihonbashi district. It opens at 9:00 a.m. The location is in the basement of the historic @yagicho_honten kabutsu dried foods shop.

Walking into the new Hamanoya Parlour it feels somewhat like the old shop. This current location was formerly a yōshoku Western style restaurant for twenty-five years and that the interior was not changed. It looks like the chairs and tables were brought from the shop in Yūrakucho.

The morning set includes a cup of coffee and a sando: tamago omelet, tuna, yasai vegetables, or fruits. I am so happy that the kissaten has a new home in Nihonbashi.
