Neat Japanese tea room at busy streets. I had Ogura anmitsu(小倉あんみつ). It was perfect for my tired body after walking around the town. This cafe is here since 1930. Don’t be afraid and try Japanese sweets! Cash only.

We found this shop by chance. It was a really hot summer day and we decided to enter. We had anmitsu and kakigori and both were delicious. The staff was kind and the service quick. Clean place. They offered us mugicha that was very welcomed as we were thirsty.
Worthy to pay them a visit!
