The main meals we offer at Café Drôme are pasta dishes and sandwiches (with occasional changes and updates!)
The pasta at Café Drôme is made with "Kinu no Nami," a locally-grown Gunma wheat variety, as well as carefully selected ingredients.
The result is an award-winning thick, chewy pasta type that has even been enjoyed by the Japanese Prime Minister!

Jyoshu-Tomioka specialty in a sandwich!
We offer the horumon-age sandwich - a fresh take on the beloved local delicacy called horumon-age.
We also offer a delivery service of horumon-age sandwiches to local businesses.
What is Horumon-age?
Horumon-age is one of the weird and wonderful dishes of Tomioka City! Fried Japanese fish cakes (called chikuwa) lathered in sweet-savory sauce are a longtime staple of Tomioka cuisine. Café Drôme has updated the tradition with exclusive Horumon-age sandwiches!
