    Tokushima Pref. Tokushimashi Yaoyamachi 2-20-1
    Cafe Takashima is a long-established café, founded in 1959. The retro-style wooden pot-shaped sign outside the café is very striking; apparently the café owner spotted this sign while on a trip to Italy, fell in love with it, and bought it to take back to Japan. Inside the café, the large table made from a single plank of wood, with a very tasteful design, attracts the eye. One of the most popular items on the menu is the hamburgers, which are made by heating the buns on a specially-made metal plate; rather than using regular round buns, the café uses thin slices of bread. The café’s Special Burgers include hamburger meat, ham, eggs, cheese and vegetables, providing a very substantial meal at a reasonable price.
