malt Maruto -mix all the loved things-

For a hearty breakfast, try the Malt Sourdough Pancake Combo Plate, served with a fried egg, smoked bacon, sausage and baked potato. The pancakes are made with a house sourdough starter cultivated with Japanese whole-wheat flour and rye, giving them a gentle tang. Enjoy them with Calpis butter and homemade syrup made with coarse sugar from sugar cane grown on Tanegashima, with a sugar content of 100%. Sweetness and savoury sides come together on one plate, and coffee, tea or orange juice is included. One diner who ordered the plate also remarked on the pleasure of pairing the pancakes with the savoury accompaniments.

For a more savoury start to the day, there is the Mushroom Confit Croque Monsieur. Oil-confit mushrooms and white sauce are layered between slices of campagne bread with mozzarella and Gouda, then baked. Diners have described the plate as substantial, with one noting a refreshing quality alongside the rich cheese. Others have enjoyed a salad plate with a cafe latte, too: breakfast and brunch at malt Maruto are not limited to pancakes.

At lunchtime, the City Salad Bowl with Daily Soup combines smoked bacon, hummus, avocado and beans with carrot râpé and grilled vegetables, all dressed with Greek dressing. A daily soup comes on the side, making it a satisfying choice when you want vegetables to take centre stage. Diners who ordered the salad for lunch have praised the generous quantity of vegetables and the hearty portions, as well as the combination of soup and bread.

The cafe also offers meals for dogs, making it an option for people dining with their pets. The plate features meatballs made with Hokkaido Ezo deer and vegetable purée, with portion sizes available for small, medium and large dogs. Whether you come for a leisurely pancake breakfast or a vegetable-forward lunch, the cafe offers food for both people and their dogs.
