Located in a narrow alley near Nikko Station, 'Tochu Saobo' stands out. At first glance, it may seem like just an old folk house, but once you open its doors, you'll find yourself in an extraordinary space, as if time has stood still.
Stepping into the cafe, you'll be gently enveloped by warm lighting and the fragrant scent of wood. Antique books on the bookshelf, prints on the wall, and the leisurely jazz melodies all contribute to the feeling of stepping into a timeless, small world.
The menu features carefully selected organic coffee, toast with homemade jam, and daily lunch plates, all of which offer genuinely delightful flavors that are gentle on the body. Each bite brings out the essence of the ingredients.
The master and mama-san always welcome guests with a modest smile. Their skill and thoughtfulness often leave guests in awe. The comfort of feeling as if you were at home enhances the charm of this space even more.
From the window, you can overlook the townscape of Nikko. At the small terrace seats by the window, you can enjoy a leisurely time while being caressed by a pleasant breeze. It's a moment of healing, away from the everyday. Tochu Saobo is truly a hidden cafe in Nikko where you can thoroughly enjoy such moments.
