<p>The entrance to the Daigo Cafe</p>

<p>The cafe is located on on one of Daigo-machi's main streets, a short walk from Hitachi Daigo Station.</p>

<p>Just inside the door is a small 'zakka' (knick-knack) shop.</p>

<p>The cafe is housed in a lovely traditional Japanese building.</p>

<p>Customers are free to read the cafe's selection of magazines.</p>

<p>The menu on the day we visited featured a delicious spinach pasta, 'curry rice', and a rolled cabbage and kabocha (pumpkin) dish.</p>

<p>The retro interior of the cafe is comfortable and inviting.</p>

<p>The owners of the cafe pay attention to detail.</p>

<p>The best seats in the cafe - a great place to sit and watch the world go by.</p>

Located in Daigo-machi, just south of the Fukushima border, is a lovely 'retro' cafe. They serve three lunch sets each day. The sets, which cost between 1000 - 1200 yen, include salad, a drink and soup. They also have tasty desserts. On the day we visited they offered the choice of kabocha pudding cake or tomato mousse - 450 yen each, 800 for a 'set' with drink. The cafe is open from 11am to 8pm and is closed on Wednesdays.
