01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Taking a seat at SUN, the natural place to start is the house-specialty Napolitan spaghetti. Thick noodles coated in a rich tomato base take on distinctly different characters depending on the seasoning: garlic delivers a bold, punchy finish, while maple or honey softens the tomato acidity into a mellow glaze. Savoring the pasta while using the fragrant thin-sliced toast served on the side to wipe up the remaining sauce is one of the shop's distinct pleasures.
A casual lunch paired with toast and coffee
At midday, the kitchen provides wallet-friendly lunch sets that complement pasta dishes like the Napolitan with a crisp salad, toast, and freshly roasted coffee. Other choices include a Japanese-style cream pasta with salmon and shiso leaf, each portion offering substantial satisfaction. With a relaxed layout of counter and table seating, the calm dining room easily accommodates solo diners dropping in for a hearty meal.
Dinner enjoyed over a glass
After dusk, the menu turns to evening-only pasta creations such as "Yaki Napolitan" and "Ore no Napolitan," alongside sets pairing pasta with wine or whisky. Guests can also linger over drinks with meat courses like steak or chicken arranged by advance reservation by the previous day. Warm wood-toned decor frames an unpretentious atmosphere for food and alcohol, making this a comforting neighborhood perch tucked along the alleys of Shitaya.
