Amiika

A short stroll along Ome Kaido from Ogikubo Station's north exit brings you to Amiika, a small lunch spot well-suited for an unhurried weekday meal. The kitchen focuses on home-style teishoku sets, pairing a main dish with side vegetables and soup for both the daily special and the healthy set. Steaming hojicha is served as you sit down, setting an unpretentious tone while your meal is prepared.

Alongside familiar teishoku fixtures like karaage fried chicken, tonkatsu, and hamburg steak, the curry options are ideal when you want something richer. The curry features a deep, European-style sauce and comes with large rice servings at no extra cost; omelette curry and Indian spaghetti—spiced noodles served with curry sauce—are also available. After finishing, you can add a drink set for 100 yen, choosing hot coffee or tea to round out lunch.

At the entrance, boxed bento lunches featuring the day's special or lighter dishes can be ordered for takeout, making a convenient option for the office or home. Operating strictly for weekday lunch and accepting cash only, the shop is best visited a little early with small change in hand.
