Kissa Kura
As you walk down the narrow alleys lined with drinking establishments, you will come across a storehouse with a bold appearance that catches your eye. This is a coffee shop run by the owner, Owada Kimiko, since 1986. Owada's mother founded the shop as a pawnbroker in 1923, and the storehouse is over 100 years old. Nowadays, it is common to see stores that have been renovated from old houses and storehouses, but this storehouse can be said to be a pioneer of this trend.
The interior of the store, which was expanded in front of the storehouse, has a slightly strange structure. The seating area, which can be reached by climbing a flight of stairs, is inside the storehouse. "We just removed the shelves, and the walls are the same as when it was used as a storehouse," says Owada. The two-story building has been made into an open-air space, so the ceiling is high, and old telephones and clocks are on display.
In addition to cute flower-shaped pancakes and taiyaki filled with plenty of bean paste, they also offer morning and lunch menus. Enjoy them with siphon-brewed coffee and you're sure to have a wonderful time.
