A Trendy New Spot in Takamatsu: 'Chubo Buono'

In the heart of Takamatsu City, a new culinary venture is set to inspire both aspiring restaurateurs and food lovers alike. The shared restaurant 'Chubo Buono', operated by Taniko Corporation in the trendy shopping destination of Kawatamachi FLAG, will officially open its doors on January 14, 2026.

A Taste of Opportunity

Chubo Buono offers a unique opportunity for those looking to experience running a restaurant without the heavy financial risks typically associated with starting one. With a complete commercial kitchen and seating areas designed for optimal dining experiences, 'Chubo Buono' provides the essential tools and environment for fledgling chefs. This shared space is perfect for individuals wanting to take their first step into the restaurant industry.

Explore the Concept of 'e&'

One of the highlights of Chubo Buono is the café named 'e&'. The name symbolizes a space where people can enjoy their favorite activities alongside delicious food, whether it's through 'eat & music' or 'eat & books.' The goal is to create a welcoming spot that captures the imagination and encourages patrons to stop by whenever they need a sanctuary from their busy lives. The owner envisions 'e&' as a cherished corner where individuals can decorate their ordinary day with exceptional moments of joy.

Memorial Offers Await

To celebrate its grand opening, 'e&' will have a special promotion running from January 14 to January 20 (excluding weekends). Customers will receive a 'commemorative lottery' upon checkout. Prizes include:

• - A ¥500 discount ticket
• - A ¥50 discount ticket
• - Free lemon cake
• - A complimentary plain focaccia
• - A free cup of coffee or tea

These discount tickets can be used for future visits, making each meal even sweeter. However, supplies are limited, so guests are encouraged to seize the opportunity while it lasts.

Signature Dishes to Savor

The star of the menu at 'e&' is undoubtedly their pizza, crafted to offer a burst of flavor with every bite. The pizzas feature a homemade duxelles topping made with onions and mushrooms, providing a rich base and an aromatic contrast when fresh slices of mushroom are added on top post-baking.

The dough for pizzas and focaccia is fermented under controlled, low temperatures, ensuring a delightful texture that is soft and chewy, letting the ingredients shine through while highlighting the flavors of the wheat itself.

Additionally, the café prides itself on sourcing high-quality ingredients. Citrus fruits from Sueyasu Farm in Kokubunji, known for its organic practices, will be featured in baked goods, allowing customers to enjoy natural flavors in every bite.

The coffee served at the café is brewed using a unique drip stand crafted by artisan Kouta Kobayashi from Yamanashi Prefecture, adding an exquisite touch to the coffee experience. Each drip stand is uniquely designed, showcasing the remarkable qualities of the stone it’s carved from.

An Inviting Ambiance Awaits

Chubo Buono’s design includes a cozy counter space, where guests can see the kitchen equipment behind glass panels and watch the pizza preparations firsthand. This creates an engaging atmosphere where culinary creations come to life right before diners' eyes.

For those interested in the culinary arts and a dream of owning their restaurant, joining the experience at Chubo Buono could be an excellent starting point. With its inviting atmosphere, delicious offerings, and unique shared restaurant model, Chubo Buono is poised to become a beloved addition to the culinary scene in Takamatsu.
