The concept of JT Cafe is to "share 'beauty' and 'art' with customers through the things they wear and the things they put into their bodies." It may be difficult to put into words, but you'll surely understand the philosophy once you enter the store.

French skewered food, made with seasonal ingredients and a light, crispy texture, is a new dish that overturns the concept of "skewered food." This is a sister restaurant of the authentic French restaurant Lecomtoir, and each dish is packed with the chef's attention to detail.
