BOOCHIC



This popular cafe is located in a corner of an upscale building in Nakanoshima. In addition to the delicious tea and drinks, the variety, quality, and attention to detail of the food and sweets must also be noted.
The fact that you can be satisfied with any of them gives it the feel of a secret base for fashionable people.

A secret base for fashionable people! Sweets and food are very satisfying!



In keeping with Nakanoshima's duality of retro and modern, this restaurant has both a modern café-like atmosphere and a traditional pure coffee shop atmosphere.
For a meal, the restaurant offers a wide variety of flavorful dishes, such as curry, which is a staple of pure coffee shops. At this restaurant, you can enjoy two different flavors: an ethnic European-style curry and a keema curry that is overflowing with the umami of meat and vegetables.



In terms of sweets, strawberry millefeuille is very popular. The bottom layer of pie crust is layered and crispy, and the top layer is filled with strawberries and custard. The crispy pie crust is overflowing with the mild custard and juicy strawberries, creating an easy-to-eat, high-quality texture as a whole.
Winter is also a particularly good time to eat strawberries.

Brooklyn Roasting Company



This stylish cafe is located in a prime ocean view location. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a typical restaurant that firmly follows the retro x modern atmosphere of Nakanoshima. The water and trees separated between buildings are sure to put your mind at ease, and you can enjoy a moment of tranquility and peace by having a delicious drink while relaxing.

Great location! Enjoy a moment of peace while feeling nature and elegance!

Taking a break while gazing at the magnificent nature and exquisite buildings is truly an oasis in the city, where you can spend a blissful rest time that is unique and unparalleled. It is recommended for couples on a date, as the atmosphere is great, and businessmen working in the area can forget the hustle and bustle of work for a while and calm their minds.

Kaiyuan Cafe



This store is a café that sells shaved ice. Shaved ice cafes have recently become a popular Taiwanese-style café, and have become a staple among trend-sensitive young people and women who like new things. The image of shaved ice as a summer treat is being erased in recent years, and it is gaining popularity as a popular sweet regardless of the time of year.

Fluffy ice is irresistible! Shaved ice like snow melting



The shaved ice available here is made from the finest quality ice. The ice has a mild and fluffy texture and melts on the tongue like snow. The mildness of the ice itself does not interfere with the gentle sweetness of the condensed milk topping or the fruit flavors, and the ice has a cohesive flavor the moment you put it in your mouth.
The condensed milk and flavors, which are the key to the taste, are not too sweet and can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages. The lack of unpleasant, cheesy sweetness means that even this large volume is not too much, and the after-feel is satisfying.

The Tavern



This restaurant follows the so-called modern atmosphere of the Nakanoshima area. The stone-built store stands out well against the majestic buildings, creating a fashionable atmosphere reminiscent of an overseas city center. The signage is also marked by a monotone hanging sign that reminds one of a foreign country, so there is little chance of getting lost when visiting the restaurant.

Enjoy authentic cuisine made with fresh ingredients and delicious drinks!



This restaurant also has both a face as a cafe and an Italian restaurant. The food menu, which uses fresh ingredients used in authentic dishes like those served in a bistro, is sure to satisfy. The morning-style meal features two sweet and fluffy pancakes, a tender omelette, and a plate of bacon, which is grilled to a golden brown, making for a very luxurious breakfast experience. The flamboyant platter, which looks like it could have appeared in a movie or an animated morning act, is guaranteed to satisfy. The coffee is fragrant, so you can enjoy a restful and elegant morning.

Moto coffee



This is a stylish cafe in an excellent location. Located across the river from a number of geometric buildings, you can enjoy a moment of respite while feeling the murmuring of the river and the sunlight filtering through the trees. The open terrace overlooking the scene is especially recommended, where you can enjoy delicious drinks and sweets while relaxing at a warm wood-grained desk.

I recommend the tiramisu! The bitter aroma and melt-in-your-mouth texture are irresistible!



The most popular sweet here is tiramisu. The smooth texture of the bottom part is rich in volume and very sweet, melting instantly in the mouth. It is sprinkled with a generous amount of cocoa powder, which is very bitter and harmonizes well with the bottom. It coats the smooth bottom exquisitely, and the overall flavor is moist. The aromatic cocoa flavor slips right through your nose the moment it passes down your throat, making it a very luxurious item.

Kitahama Retro



This café focuses on afternoon tea, which is a rarity in this Nakanoshima area. They specialize in serving black tea as the drink of choice, and they serve authentic English-style afternoon tea to match the flavor of the tea. The style of afternoon tea, in which a variety of delicious sweets are served little by little, makes you feel like a very prestigious young lady, and is especially recommended for those who want to get away from the daily routine.

A very classy afternoon tea will put you in the best mood.



The afternoon tea here is interesting in that a large cake sits proudly at the top. Since most other restaurants offer a more varied selection of food in small portions, it is a unique point to be able to enjoy a well-selected meal. If the flavors suit your palate, you will certainly be more than satisfied.

KITAHAMA show



This café is one of the most unique and appealing stores in the fashionable Nakanoshima area, with a particularly different atmosphere.

We want you to see with your eyes, feel with your tongue, and experience with your body the essence of 'those who understand' fashionable.

Each seat has a different atmosphere! Inside the restaurant that exudes a mysterious stylishness



What makes this restaurant strangely stylish is that the tables and chairs in the restaurant have completely different tastes for each seat. While some chairs are made with a calm, wood-grained atmosphere, others are colorful and reminiscent of DIY, keeping you visually entertained at all. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the element that makes people want to come back again and again, and they can enjoy themselves with a fresh feeling no matter how many times they visit.

This café is based on the concept of having a stylish and healthy meal rather than taking a break with a cup of tea. Nowadays, with the increase in health consciousness, more and more young people and women are choosing to finish a meal at such restaurants. The set menus, which include fish, miso soup, rice, and a variety of side dishes consisting mainly of vegetables, are not only visually appealing and satisfying, but also embody the "one soup, three vegetables" concept, which will surely help you feel better.
Enjoy a healthy meal centered on Japanese cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere and make time to rest both body and soul.

The set menus, which are both healthy and satisfying, will make many people swoon!



The set menus available here are rich in variety and items. The main course consists of seafood dishes such as grilled fish, miso soup, and white rice, but the side dishes are gorgeous. All of the dishes share the same emphasis on healthy Japanese cuisine, but it is nice to be able to choose according to your own preferences. It's easy to get caught up in choosing which one to try.
It is not surprising to find dishes that are well-balanced and warming to both mind and body. Try the nostalgic set menus that remind you of your mother's cooking.

Smorrebred Kitchen Nakanosima



Lastly, we would like to introduce you to this café. This store is in a somewhat unique location, with its store inside the Nakanoshima Library. However, it has gained popularity among locals who patronize the library and intellectual fashionistas who prefer the relaxed atmosphere of a library.
After enjoying a book, a cup of tea or a sweet treat may be just what you need.

Don't be fooled by the special location. A nice cafe with a relaxed atmosphere.



Parfaits are especially popular at this cafe. The deep-bottomed bowls filled with whipped cream, jelly, seasonal fruits, and crunchy cookie pastries are a sight to behold. Younger diners will find it especially satisfying. While following the library's calming atmosphere, the café also caters to those who want to take a break for a relaxing sweet treat, and can be recommended to many people.
