Cafe Nanakuni is situated atop a hill on Kamikamagari Island, Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Heading north on Prefectural Route 287 and climbing a narrow, steep slope, you will find this charming hidden cafe. The interior of the large renovated old house offers a warm atmosphere, like returning to your family’s home. From the windows, the serene scenery of the Seto Inland Sea unfolds, allowing for a leisurely time.
The charm of Nanakuni lies in its lunch menu, which lavishly uses fresh local vegetables. The daily plate lunch includes a vibrant assortment of side dishes accompanying the main dish, making for a hearty meal. A particularly popular option is the vegetable-filled curry, with its richly flavorful roux and the perfect harmony of sweet vegetables.
Each meticulously handmade dish reflects the owner's affection, providing a heartfelt taste. Priced reasonably at 1200 yen with a drink included, it adds to the appeal.
After your meal, sitting on the veranda and gazing at the beautiful Japanese garden is highly recommended. Enjoy relaxing moments while taking in the seasonal views. For dessert, the warm homemade apple pie with a coffee set is a perfect match. The gentle sweetness will warm your heart.
Nanakuni's charm isn't limited to its food. The warm and humorous hospitality of the female owner, who was a top insurance sales agent, attracts many regular customers. As she runs the cafe alone, there might be a bit of waiting during busy times, but each customer receives attentive service.
Make sure to visit Cafe Nanakuni during your drive or cycling trip to Kamikamagari Island. The heartwarming food and soothing space will surely become a wonderful memory of your trip.
