About this place
Opening its doors at 6:00, Iris draws early visitors looking for a proper, filling meal on the second floor of the Related Businesses Building inside Kita-Adachi Market. Though situated within a facility serving market workers, members of the general public are also welcome, enjoying breakfast and lunch in its quiet, relaxed surroundings.
The morning set is an appealingly substantial way to start the day. Arranging ham and eggs, grated daikon with baby sardines (shirasu oroshi), dried nori seaweed, and miso soup, it delivers the generous sustenance diners hope for early in the morning. Taking a quiet break after the meal with a cup of coffee or iced coffee, noted for its rich depth of flavour, completes the experience.
The lunch menu is just as broad, serving traditional kissaten staples such as retro-style omurice, pilaf with egg soup, ginger pork teishoku, and katsu curry. Other set meals highlight fresh vegetables and seafood, including shredded pork stir-fried with bell peppers and bamboo shoots, spicy mapo aubergine, dried salted mackerel, and fried horse mackerel, so you can pick whatever fits your appetite for the day.
Iris stays open until 14:30, and payment is cash only.
