If you're in need of a break from Japanese food, head to this casual spot near Demachiyanagi Station for excellent and filling felafel pita sandwiches or plates with generous dollops of homemade hummus, or a side of green chilli sauce for more of a kick. There's a small garden courtyard for sunny days.
