The owner, Ms. Hatano, has long been interested in fermented foods such as nukazuke pickles and miso making. After falling ill several years ago, she learned about body building through food and became certified as a fermentation sommelier and warming advisor. He renovated a former electronics store, and decided to use light bulbs as the café's logo to symbolize the combination of fermentation and luminescence, as well as to light up the community.

The Fermentation Plate, limited to Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, is 1,800 yen and limited to 10 servings. Mushrooms sauteed and simmered in vinegar koji, chicken and eggs cooked in soy sauce koji, all without sugar or chemical seasonings. Includes onion koji soup and sweet koji pudding.

The menu using shio koji, sweet koji, and other fermented foods is popular for the daily lunch specials and the fermentation plates available only on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Reservations are essential as the menu is often sold out.

She is also studying to become a medicinal herbalist and is planning to eventually offer cooking classes.
