Omiya in Saitama, where trains connecting the city and the north come and go. Behind the bustling downtown area lies a slightly unusual café. The interior is crammed with mysterious antiques, and all 300 menu items are served in large portions. Customers include friends enjoying the signature spaghetti napolitan, local Saitama residents who love their hometown, and even snack bar staff returning from work. For those from the Tohoku region, it's the gateway to the city, and for those working in the city center, it's a place to relax. This is the story of three days at this mysterious café.
