Perfect combination of Shiitake, Shimeji, and Common Mushrooms together with bacon and cream cheese, all encased in a slightly reworked pastry case.
Enjoy!
Cafe Signboard
With all the bad weather we've been having recently, our drink menu had washed away.
So it was time to refresh, thanks to T-san for your good efforts. Looks great.
New Menu: Sandwich Plate
Something new for this week, our lunch sandwich plate.
Soft bagette sandwich, soup, dessert and your choice of drink.
All yours for 1,100yen.
Bon appetit!
Darvilles of Windsor
Just a quick taster of something we are very excited about here in The Three Little Pigs.
Over the summer we decided to expand our tea range, and during our search for new offerings stumbled across the Darvilles of Windsor range of teas.
Previously only available at leading department stores and specilaist stockists in Japan, we are now the first tea shop in Japan to offer their teas for general consumption.
We'll be writing more about Darvilles soon, in English and Japanese, but in the meantime if you want to try the Darvilles offering we're doing pots of English Breakfast, Assam, Darjeeling, Lemon & Ginger, Camomile or Raspberry & Hibiscus for 500 yen per pot.
Personally my favourite so far has been the Lemon & Ginger. Delicious!
We're Open
Our summer break has finished and we're back to work from today.
Open today from 11:30 to 18:00 for lunch, cakes, scones, teas, coffees, beer and wine.
Hope to see you soon.
Pineapple
Last week our flower window display from Country Farm ANDY (カントリーファームアンディ) included mini pineapples.
Not sure whether these mini pineapples are edible but we do have Pineapple and Coconut cake on the menu now!
Asparagus, Bacon & Cream Cheese Quiche
The asparagus season is in full flow here in Japan, and there's an abundance of these tasty spears in the shops now. But how to use it?
We've teamed it up with bacon and cream cheese in one of our ever popular quiche offerings.
Get it while you can!
Good Morning
I know as children we were always been told not to play with our food but I couldn't resist this one.
We open in 20 minutes at and are open until 6 o'clock tonight.
Come and visit us for more foodie fun!

Raspberry & Peanut Butter Pound Cake
Our cake lady has been busy this week conjuring up new combinations! I managed to take of photo of these Raspberry and Peanut Butter pound cakes before they flew off the shelf.
Notice the new wrapping used for the pound cakes, before we were cutting each slice to order which obviously takes time. With the new wrappings it's now even easy to pick up a few slices to take back to the office or home.
A big thank you to our neighbour, the packaging shop Tomisho for helping us find the right wrapping for our needs.
Turn Every Friday into a Premium Friday
Turn every Friday into a Premium Friday with a bottle of Fuller's Golden Pride.
We've not had this barley wine style beer on the shelves for some time. Described as having a taste reminiscent of sweet orange oil, toasted grains, and bread by some, or as ’the Cognac of beers’ by the late beer writer and connoisseur, Michael Jackson. And with an alcohol content of 8.5%, it's sure to round the corners off any day of the week, Premium Friday or not.
Herbs & Flowers
This week our flowers from Country Farm Andy (カントリーファームアンディ) contained sprigs of parsley!
While it's the first time (or should that be thyme) that we've had parsely in our flower arrangements it created a great talking point with among our customers.
Unfortunately, for me at least, the parsley used is for display only and cannot be eaten.
Scones Scones Scones
Fresh from The Three Little Pigs oven this morning, scones.
Afternoon tea anyone? Two scones served with jam & butter, and a pot of tea (or other drink of your choice.)
700 yen.
