Café & Bar Colt

Open from 4.30am, this café and bar inside the Fuchu Continental Hotel is popular among fans of Japanese horse racing. Fuchu is home to Tokyo's main racecourse, and that theme is reflected in the menu here: try the 'teki-katsu' (available between 11.30am and 9pm), a plate with fried cutlet and steak, arranged to look like a racetrack – even the rice is served in the shape of a horseshoe, while the accompanying soup mug is decorated with horses. Visit after 5pm to try the 'horse racing cocktails', named after successful stallions and famous races.
