About this place
When a hearty appetite calls at midday, the menu at Purantan, tucked on the 2nd floor of a building in Nihonbashi-Bakurocho, makes a reliable choice. The Napolitan spaghetti set comes generously loaded with sausage and thick-cut bacon, crowned with a fried egg. Served alongside miso soup and a drink, it delivers the straightforward, unpretentious satisfaction expected of a traditional kissaten.
The Ladies' Sets, noted for their generous portions despite the name, are another distinctive feature here. The A set pairs thick toast with a small salad and an omelet with fillings; the B set combines dinner rolls with meat sauce spaghetti; and the C set serves thick toast alongside Napolitan, letting diners pick their preferred blend of bread and Western-style comfort staples.
Those craving rice dishes will find lunch options such as hamburg steak topped with a fried egg, ginger pork, a house specialty pilaf filled with varied ingredients, and shrimp pilaf. The pilaf plates come with a choice of salad or miso soup, and all lunch meals conveniently include coffee or tea.
Daily lunch specials are also offered, making this an easy spot to drop by solo during a weekday break and take a quiet breather over an after-meal coffee.
