Mukunoki

Built around substantial whole-wheat pain de campagne with a satisfying chew, the signature campagne sandwich makes for a generous, well-balanced meal. Slices of hanging bacon, egg, and cheese come layered with crisp greens and tangy vegetable râpée. The interplay of savoury saltiness and contrasting textures pairs naturally with the rustic flavour of the crusty loaf, served as a set alongside soup and yogurt.

Beyond chewy rustic sandwiches and a classic egg sandwich, sweet bakery items are equally tempting. French toast crafted from thick slices of mountain loaf delivers a custardy, melt-in-the-mouth crumb with gentle sweetness, ready to be finished with a drizzle of honey to taste. Pairing it with a chiffon cake made from Kumamoto-grown Mizuhochikara rice flour or a cup of the house Fukunoki blend coffee—roasted for a clean, refreshing finish—makes for an easy, restful break.

Orders are placed and paid for at the counter before you take a seat anywhere in the calm dining room, where a grand piano sets a relaxed tone. Free parking on the grounds also makes the cafe an appealing and reliable stop for a light meal or brunch while driving through the scenic Oharano area.
