Located near Yanagihara Station on the Nagano Electric Railway, next to Niizawa Dermatology Clinic, 'Kawasemi' is a cafe with wood-themed interiors brimming with warm sunlight, feeling like a true hidden corner. Upon stepping inside, you are enveloped in a calm atmosphere where time seems to slow down.
Both at the entrance and further inside, you'll find shelves filled with various genres of books, from manga to various kinds of literature. Enjoying a book with a coffee in hand is a unique pleasure that 'Kawasemi' offers. It is especially recommended for book lovers.
The menu at 'Kawasemi' is designed to please both the eye and the palate. For lunch, we recommend the hamburger plate served with vegetables and macaroni. The harmony between the tangy tomato sauce and the savory meat is extraordinary.
For dessert, be sure to try the fruit cheesecake. The rich flavor of the cheese and the sweetness of the fruit are perfectly balanced, and the colorful presentation with edible flowers brings a touch of spring.
One of the cafe's charms is the kingfisher-themed decor, named after the bird. The adorable kingfisher-patterned cushions are eye-catching accents. Interestingly, the photos on the walls actually feature crested kingfishers, adding a small 'mystery' that could spark conversation.
The charm of 'Kawasemi' goes beyond its food and decor. The gentle and attentive service of the staff is also a significant feature. Whether you want to spend some quiet alone time or chat with friends, it's a comfortable environment for all.
