Isekai Izakaya: Japanese Food From Another World, Vol. 2

On the first floor of a building, three minutes’ walk from the mall near office streets, there is a restaurant called “The Cat House.” On the oak door, decorated with brass and darkened with age, there is a sign with a cat. The restaurant has been open for 50 years, and local employees and students often drop by to eat whatever looks edible. Its menu is built on Western cuisine with many additions—an ordinary little restaurant, if you look at it superficially. But for people, it’s one of a kind.

That said, the “Cat House” secret is this: on Saturdays, the restaurant opens its doors to “special guests.” A bell rings, and visitors of different nationalities and races come to try mystical and delicious dishes. This is the place where travelers from different worlds gather.

Ah, yes—this week, the bell will ring again.
