Shepherd’s Purse is a café and restaurant located in Koenji and we got to know it purely by chance.
We hadn’t known about it when we set out to discover the area and only really stumbled across it after getting lost in the city’s streets.
We were totally blown away by the decoration and decided to go in.
The manager was lovely and she took the time to go through the daily menu, which was much appreciated as it was all in Japanese and we were the only tourists there.
You can find rice croquettes (recommended), salads, soups, pastas and risottos on the menu.
