The restaurant has a retro feel that makes you feel like you’ve traveled back to the Showa era. The inside was surprisingly spacious, and I liked how relaxed it felt. They had a wide variety of coffee, and there were all kinds of sweets too, so next time I want to try a parfait! The Naporitan (Japanese ketchup pasta) was piping hot, and there was egg hidden underneath.

What surprised me was the shortcake. The whipped cream was so good that I asked the staff about it, and they said they are very particular about the ingredients. Yeah, I could easily finish a whole cake. To go with it, I had Mandheling and Guatemala coffee. The gentle acidity, mellow sweetness, and just the right roasted bitterness were spot on. And it was delicious.

The French toast I had been looking forward to also had a crisp outside, and when I ate it with the ice cream, they tasted even better together☆ミFor the black coffee, I told the owner I wanted something with less acidity, and they recommended Ethiopian coffee, which had no off notes and a fruity, interesting flavor that was very easy to drink♡

This was my first visit to a kominka cafe (traditional Japanese house cafe), and it felt even more calm than I had imagined. From the moment I arrived, I was taken by the way it stood quietly atop the hill. Inside, the warmth of the wood made the space feel peaceful, as if time were passing slowly.

The signature baked puddings are all Homemade. They use Special ingredients and set them firmly with the natural power of eggs.
A big draw is the range of flavors, starting with the classic "custard pudding." With the "Choose-Your-Favorite Pudding Set," you can enjoy your preferred pudding and a drink at a good value.

The puddings are all said to be rich and delicious. If you cannot decide which one to choose, the "Omakase Pudding 2-Variety assortment" is recommended, letting you try two Omakase selections in half sizes.
They also serve locally sourced Italian dishes made with local ingredients, including salads and pasta.

The compact dining space with its classic interior had a lot of charm, and the location was great with a view of the sea. Not just the pudding, the food was good too. The sazae (turban shell) and kani (crab) were especially good.

It is fun to choose from the lineup of many different kinds of pudding. And when the fresh looking and generously sized pudding is served on a plate, it is enough to make your face light up, and you already feel Manzoku. Then you taste its milky, well balanced sweetness and gentle texture. It makes you feel that pudding is the king of desserts!

・Cinnamon milk coffee
I thought it looked like an unusual item on the menu, so I ordered it. It was milk coffee with whipped cream, topped with cinnamon powder and even a cinnamon stick. I’m not usually a coffee person, but this was lightly sweet and very good (^_^)

A retro kissaten (Japanese-style coffee shop) in the arcade shopping street right near Kinugasa Station✨I visited for the first time and had the Breakfast set. The cheese toast was so good that I wanted to have it again the next time I come to Kinugasa. The inside of the shop had a retro feel, and I was able to relax and take my time.

It really feels like a classic old-school kissaten (Japanese coffee shop). It has kept going without changing over the years. The staff are pleasant and welcoming, and even if you come alone, they let you sit and relax at your own pace. The food is pretty good too, and at lunch, if you order hot coffee, you can get refills! Aren’t places like this rare these days? I want to go again!

The coffee I was after was a blend with low acidity and very easy to drink. Yes, it was great. Looking around, a lot of people seemed to be having coffee plus something sweet. Parfaits at kissaten (Japanese-style coffee shops) are so good and go perfectly with coffee, after all.
