About this place
At Black Brown, you can choose how much spaghetti you’d like: the menu lists small 40g, medium 80g and large 130g portions. That makes it easy to go for a lighter meal or something more substantial. There’s a broad range of sauces and flavours, from tomato and peperoncino to Genovese pesto, tarako (seasoned cod roe) and cream with bacon and spinach. One visitor ordered the medium eggplant and bacon amatriciana, and recalled thin noodles with plenty of tomato sauce and a pronounced cheese flavour. They found the portion manageable, including its sauce and toppings—a useful point of reference if you’re unsure which size to choose.
For a creamy option, there’s spaghetti with bacon and spinach. One visitor ordered it in a large portion alongside a hamburg steak, which they found small on its own but just right with the bread served alongside. The pasta, they added, was more filling than expected. If you’d like to try two dishes, consider the set pairing a homemade Japanese Black wagyu hamburg steak with a small peperoncino, served with soup. Other combinations make it possible to enjoy a starter with pasta rather than choosing just one dish. The scallop and maple salmon carpaccio comes with a small simple tomato-sauce spaghetti and soup. Another set pairs a roast of Japanese Black wagyu A4-5 sirloin (50g) with a small Genovese pesto spaghetti—an option for sampling meat and pasta together.
Croissant French toast and fruit parfaits offer something to look forward to after a meal, too. A visitor who ordered the French toast with pasta and a sandwich praised the croissant’s crisp texture and the freshness of the seasonal fruit, and said they hoped to try a parfait next time. The menu also features fruit-led options such as melon and Shine Muscat grape parfaits. Drinks suit both a meal and a break. Lemonade is available iced or hot; one visitor enjoyed a cup during an afternoon coffee break. The menu lists it at ¥500. For something to accompany a meal, there are also wines by the glass, sparkling wine and a weekly craft beer.
