In Japanese, Okaeri means welcome home. The respond for the person who comes home after a long day of work. And the respond to the person who said Okaeri is Tadaima. So it's very nice to be welcomed home.
At any rate, it's clever that they said welcome home and makes you feel very warm and welcomed.
In the store, besides the order counter, it's a very happy shibu inu. They were hunting dog in the past but now Shibu is to Japanese culture like Corgi is to British culture.
Ok, what I ordered, because I can't stay, I ordered Omu Rice with curry. Omu rice is short for Omelete Rice. They basically have a soft omelet on top or envelope a little pile of rice. I like curry so have that added on the side. Of course, Japanese curry is nice and sweet - not like dessert sweet, but the characteristic is sweet not spicy. Flavor just as nice.
Next up I ordered dessert. Typically I'm accustomed to seeing it in a cup and to be drank. But for some reason, it came in a box with separate containers...
So it is basically Matcha Affogato. Never had that like this format before. Frankly, I had wanted the matcha shot to melt my ice cream so I can drink it. But now it's more like a drippy sundae. Oh well. I get the taste, not the effect. All good.
Anyway, Okaeri is in a small shopping center, but don't let that fool you. Tons of space inside. You can come in sit in tatami style booth, in case you want to emerge yourself into the experience. Otherwise, there's lots of food to choose from: hot dog, bento and kids meal too.
