About this place
Thick-cut toast, served with Yotsuba butter and jam, puts bread at the heart of the relaxed menu at Jam House. One visitor ordered thick-cut whole-wheat toast with a green salad and French blend coffee. They recalled that the bread was crisp on the outside and soft inside, and tasted good not only with butter and jam but also with olive oil. The small salad reportedly came with potato salad, too—a useful option for a light meal.
Another visitor chose the 3-variety mixed sandwich, filled with ham, egg salad and potato salad. They enjoyed the satisfying amount of filling and the chewy texture of the airy bread. The menu also includes a 2-variety open sandwich: toasted bread topped with black truffle egg salad and yuzu cream cheese. There are options for a more substantial bite or for trying a combination of contrasting flavours. Coffee choices include French and Italian blends, café au lait and café au lait made with soy milk. One person who tried the French blend described it as not overly bitter, with notes reminiscent of cacao and a caramel-like sweetness. Choose a coffee to suit your preferred roast and milk, or enjoy it alongside toast or a sandwich.
Beyond coffee, drinks include organic herbal tea, pesticide-free Japanese black tea and frozen smoothies with a choice of banana, strawberry and mango combinations. For something sweet after a meal, there is hot bread pudding served with Yotsuba butter and organic maple syrup. The menu makes it easy to put together anything from a quick break to brunch, with drinks and dessert included. The Nishihara shop has table seating as well as a terrace. You can eat in or buy bread to take away, depending on the occasion and your appetite.
