Midori, Gunma · 10 mi / 16 km

Nomikun-chi is a small farm cafe with a cat room in Kasakakecho Kugu, Midori, between Kiryu and Ota. The cat room is reached separately from the cafe, so guests who are not comfortable with cats can still eat there, and there is also a private room where visitors can lie down and nap with the cats. The resident cats have included four black sibling cats that were still young and very playful, preferring to chase toys rather than be held. Vegetables served in the cafe are grown without pesticides on the owners' own farm, and the menu includes lunch sets with brown rice onigiri, pasta and hand pizzas, homemade yoghurt, seasonal sweets and herbal, quince and fruit drinks, though no coffee. The cafe opens on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays.
