PEPPY

A spoonful begins with a mellow, gentle sweetness before building into a satisfying, fragrant heat. Alongside the curry, pickled onion achaar lends a tart freshness that keeps each bite lively. At PEPPY in Kanamachi, hearty mains also include taco rice finished with house-made salsa and dressing, as well as toasted sloppy joe sandwiches packed with seasoned meat sauce and melted cheese.

For evening drinks or casual grazing, the à la carte fried items and hot dishes are just as dependable. Crispy, light-crusted shrimp cutlets arrive with homemade tartar sauce, while steaming gratins baked with rich béchamel make for a comforting plate. Behind the counter, the drinks shelf features inventive finds such as the Ichinichi shochu series infused with ginger or yuzu, alongside house-infused coffee shochu, offering plenty of ways to pair food and drink.

Doors open at 12:00, making it easy to drop by for a daytime drink or grab a cup of in-house roasted coffee to take away. With a relaxed counter-led layout, the space suits an unhurried lunch as comfortably as an evening spent unwinding over curious spirits and snacks.
