01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
True to its name—derived from the Spanish word for garlic—Ajo Base puts the robust, appetizing qualities of the allium at center stage across its cafe food and drink selections. The signature Ajo Pan uses an entire bulb of garlic, seasoned with a house ajo-butter sauce made with Hokkaido butter and finished with a generous layer of melted mozzarella. The crusty loaf and stretchy cheese yield a mellow, aromatic warmth as the garlic spreads slowly across the palate. Another house specialty, the Ajo Black bun, incorporates aged black garlic and organic bamboo charcoal into a pitch-black steamed dough, encasing seasoned Platinum Pork brand pork alongside plentiful garlic.
A variety of specialty beverages crafted around black garlic and aromatic botanicals accompany the savory menu. The Yakuzen Garlic Spiced Milk Coffee incorporates a house-simmered herbal paste of black garlic, ginger, and spices, lending the brew depth and warmth while keeping garlic nuances gentle. Other hot and iced options include the cinnamon-scented Yakuzen Garlic Spiced Chai Tea and the Yakuzen Garlic Sake Lees Latte, designed to bring soothing, warming comfort from the inside out.
Beyond buns and beverages, the cafe shelves display specialty garlic stocks, seasonings, and soups, making it easy to bring home condiments experienced on-site. The space caters comfortably to solo visitors popping in for a quick bite or perusing items at their own pace. Between the indulgent textures of Ajo Pan and Ajo Black and the unusual roster of herbal drinks, garlic shows off varied, unexpected profiles here.
