About the restaurant

A sweets café in an old, restored machiya in Naramachi. Our warabi mochi is made with real bracken starch and kneaded only once you order. We also make the agar jelly and kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) for our anmitsu ourselves. From summer into autumn there is shaved ice generously drizzled with matcha syrup. Sit in the tatami room, or on the engawa veranda facing the small courtyard garden.

What you can do here

  • Freshly kneaded warabi mochi with kinako and kuromitsu
  • Take a break with matcha and a seasonal namagashi
  • Shaved ice in summer, zenzai in winter
  • Book a seat in the tatami room and walk straight in

From the owner

Warabi mochi firms up as time passes after it's kneaded. That's why we knead it only after you order. It means a short wait, but please eat it while it's still soft and wobbly.
Hayama, the owner

Why this place supports social causes

We restored a machiya that had stood empty, together with a carpenter from the neighbourhood, and made it into this café. Our sencha and hojicha come from tea farmers on the Yamato Plateau, and our kudzu is genuine hon-kuzu from Yoshino: things from Nara's mountains, served in Nara.

From the place

Because we use Yamato tea and genuine Yoshino kudzu, and opened in a restored machiya that had stood empty.
Opens its space to the communityWe use a restored machiya that had stood empty, and serve sencha and hojicha from tea farmers on the Yamato Plateau.

What the restaurant cares about

  • Warabi mochi kneaded for every order

    We knead real bracken starch in the pan and serve it straight away.

  • Agar jelly and kuromitsu made in-house too

    Our agar jelly is boiled down from tengusa seaweed, and our kuromitsu is simmered from Okinawan black sugar.

  • Allergies and ingredients

    Dairy is used only in the ice cream and some of the shaved ice. We don't use egg. There's no wheat in the kuzukiri or warabi mochi.
