About this place
Soft bread filled with moist, fluffy egg makes for a simple, nostalgic sandwich that feels right at home at the start of the day. At Chum in Karahashi Kyodencho, Minami Ward, Kyoto, handmade sandwiches and toasts are served from the morning alongside crisp iced coffee or a clean, balanced cup of hot coffee.
The bread selection is broad, letting diners choose to suit their mood, from classic egg or ham toast to vegetable sandwiches and assorted mixed fillings. Whether you are after the fragrant crunch of lightly toasted bread or the pillowy crumb of fresh untoasted slices, orders are prepared swiftly and brought promptly to the table.
Come lunchtime, the kitchen complements its sandwich selection with hearty kissaten rice staples, including curry rice, hayashi rice (hashed beef rice), and fried rice. Operating primarily during daytime hours on weekdays, Chum retains a quiet, relaxed atmosphere well suited to anyone seeking a peaceful solo meal. Payment is cash only, so having some coins and bills ready is recommended.
