and Kanazawa is a low-key cafe located slightly off-the-beaten path from the popular areas of the Higashi Chaya District (ひがし茶屋街, Higashi Chaya Machi). The cafe features a beautiful modern industrial aesthetic, fused with traditional Japanese wooden elements from the original machiya (町家, Traditional wooden townhouse). The understated nature of the cafe really comes through with the food. While things like the thick toast might look boring and plain at first, the moment you bite into one, the fluffiness of the bread, the perfect saltiness of the butter on top, and the crisp outer layer will leave you wanting for more. This is really a hidden gem cafe that is not to be missed in the Higashi Chaya District.
and Kanazawa Cafe Menu Recommendations
キナコソフトクリーム
Kinako Soft Cream
¥550
The cafe's iconic dessert is the Kinako Soft Cream, which is made with milk from the famous milk shop, Noto Milk, from the Noto Peninsula (能登半島, Noto-hantō). The traditional tastes of the kinako (きな粉, Roasted Soybean Flour) blends perfectly with the creamy milkiness of the soft cream (ソフトクリーム, Sofuto Kurīmu), resulting in a perfect blend of western and traditional Japanese flavors in this simple yet addictive ice cream. For that extra oompf, you can get the caramel version that drizzles caramel sauce atop the soft cream.
季節トースト
Seasonal Toast
¥850
The flavours for the thick toast made with shokupan (食パン) varies based on the season, with some flavours including kinako (きな粉, Roasted Soybean Flour) as well as white chocolate with strawberry. The toast is made using freshly baked bread each day, and is toasted to perfection with a light and crispy exterior, but a moist and fluffy interior. Biting into one is just like biting into a cloud, made all the more delicious by the salted butter which is melted and absorbed by the bread.
