#toast 458 — discovered this cafe while I was walking back from the Kawagoe Shrine (my favourite shrine in Japan!). The cafe is very small and timid— making a very intimate experience with the master. I sat at the bar and waited patiently as my French toast was being made, having a small chat with the master and admiring the menu! ごちそうさまです follow me on instagram @nomkakaii to stay updated on my toast travels!

This place is a true hidden gem with an inviting, artsy atmosphere adorned with beautiful calligraphy works. The vibe is both relaxing and inspiring. The siphon black tea was particularly impressive, but everything we ordered was equally delicious. We had a lovely chat with the store owners, who were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience.

Amazing find! The owner knows his craft very well. You can tell he puts a lot of thought and effort into this cafe. Very homely place, with amazing coffee and tea selection. Toast menu is also not too be overlooked - the almond and kinako toasts were a delight!! Quaint and tucked away from a 5minute walk distance from the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine - don't forget to stop by and have a chat with the owner over coffee and toasts :)
