From 2014 to 2017, I had the incredible opportunity to fulfill my dream of traveling the world. Constantly on the move, I sometimes found myself missing the comforts of home, particularly having a kitchen at my disposal. In 2016, during my visit to Pokhara, I was captivated by the city's enchanting atmosphere. Renting an apartment and embracing the local lifestyle, I began to feel a sense of belonging. Exploring the vibrant local market, I acquainted myself with regional ingredients and delighted in cooking each day. While traveling, I experienced the pleasure of savoring delectable meals at various restaurants and cafes. However, it was hard to find simple healthy foods there especially when I got sick. This inspired me to create a cafe that serves nourishing, comforting cuisine for people like me. Even after departing Pokhara and journeying to India and Sri Lanka, my dream remained ever-present in my thoughts. Upon my return to Japan in 2017, my determination to realize my vision persisted. I made the decision to relocate to Pokhara and bring my dream to fruition by opening a cafe.

Given the circumstances during the pandemic when tourists were unable to visit Nepal, we shifted our focus towards catering to Nepali guests at our cafe. We introduced Dal Bhat on our menu without a specified price in order to create a welcoming atmosphere for Nepalese. Consequently, Dal Bhat has become a beloved specialty dish at our cafe, bringing joy to both tourists and Nepalese.

Dal Bhat is a staple of Nepali cuisine, a wholesome and nutritious meal consisting of a perfect balance of carbohydrates, protein, essential amino acids, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. This delightful combination offers a steady release of energy, helping to sustain you throughout the day.
