01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Ascend the stairs to the 2nd floor and the calm strains of background music welcome you into Kissa BOOK. Set just above the street, the clean, uncluttered space provides a relaxed resting spot whether you are exploring the neighbourhood or taking a stroll.
A prime choice from the café menu is the homemade pudding set, which includes a drink such as coffee or a caffè latte. At an approachable 700 yen, it lets you linger over subtle sweetness paired with a freshly brewed cup. For something savoury, warm sandwiches make an easy light bite alongside hot coffee or a chilled, sweetened royal milk tea.
The shop is equally accommodating for those wanting to unwind with a glass in hand. Alongside Booker's bourbon whiskey, some visitors drop in for a casual daytime drink, ordering beer or highballs complemented by savoury snacks like deep-fried satsuma-age fish cakes. Note that the shop closes briefly in the late afternoon, so checking the hours beforehand is recommended.
