More than just a place to eat, All Cafe × Tanita Cafe Achi Terrace Kurashiki offers a chance to focus on your health.
We spoke with the manager, Kyoko Furuya.
This interview was conducted during our initial visit in January 2023.
What makes the Kurashiki location special
What makes this location special?
Furuya (surname only)
The Tanita Cafe menu is almost the same at every location, but each All Cafe location has its own distinctive character.
For example, some have soup, while others focus mainly on takeout.
The concept at the Kurashiki location is to let people enjoy meat dishes, pizza, and more while having a glass of wine in the evening in a pleasant atmosphere.
I think that’s why the interior has this stylish, chic look.
What all the locations have in common is that, based on the idea of an “All Pharmacy Town,” medical tenants are brought into the buildings that house All Cafe.
The buildings have tenants such as internal medicine and gastroenterological surgery clinics, so people can visit a doctor and have a meal as well.
What makes the menu special
Why is the All Cafe menu Italian?
Furuya
We added Italian dishes so people could enjoy their food.
For those watching their salt intake or dieting, we recommend the one-plate meals and salad bowls created in collaboration with Tanita Cafe.
Thankfully, the All Cafe menu has been gaining fans lately, and the cafe has become a place to enjoy food.
Our pasta is made with whole-wheat flour, and we use nutritious ingredients.
It’s made fresh in-house and has a chewy texture, with a deliciousness you don’t get from dried pasta.
We take care to make dishes people can enjoy with not only vegetables, but also meat and fish.
The pizza lunch, like the pasta lunch, comes with an appetizer, dessert, and a drink.
Pizza is popular with people who come in groups and share.
The chewy crust is about the size of one bread roll, so it’s not too heavy—you’ll be hungry again by evening.
Some people love pizza so much they’re practically addicted to it.
I love pizza myself, too.
Some people come every day for the low-sodium one-plate meal.
Some people also come in to eat because they want to get a measurement at the lab once a month.
Future plans
What are your plans for the future?
Furuya
Going forward, we’d like to focus more on weddings and private parties.
Wedding services are available only at the Kurashiki All Cafe location.
We offer a private buffet-style event with all-you-can-drink beverages and food.
We have a projector, so you can show videos.
The private room can serve as a waiting room for the bride and groom, who can then make their entrance from there.
We’d like to make more use of our location close to the station and increase the number of people who use the venue.
In the evening, we have many dishes that go well with wine.
We have a wine cellar in the restaurant.
We’d also like to put more effort into evening service.
I’d like to improve the evening menu and create more dishes that pair well with drinks.
Unlike during the day, we want people to relax and take their time in the evening.
We want to create a menu and a space that people of all ages, from young to old, can enjoy.
We’d also like to take part in events such as markets.
From the Writer
Through this interview, I was reminded of the importance of vegetables and how we should pay attention to our health, something we don’t usually think much about.
Food builds our bodies.
We need to take good care of ourselves and make sure we eat vegetables.
If you’re thinking, “I don’t get enough vegetables,” or “Maybe I should check my health,” be sure to visit All Cafe.
Why not enjoy tasty, easy ways to eat vegetables and use them to support your everyday health?
