The dining area lists crab, fresh fish and soba (buckwheat noodles), as well as Volga rice, an Echizen City dish of omelet rice topped with a cutlet, and sauce katsudon, a pork cutlet rice bowl with sauce. Fresh fish is also sold on the first floor, so you can choose between eating in and shopping for food to take away.
