Cafe • 1-chōme-12-19 Kubo, Onomichi, Hiroshima 722-0045, Japan
'Poem' is a retro-style pure café standing in the streets of Onomichi. Stepping into the store, it feels like a time warp to the world of the Showa era where time has stood still. Reliefs, sculptures, and wooden public telephone booths are filled with the emotions of that time wherever you look.
Here, you can enjoy painstakingly prepared homey flavors for breakfast and lunch. Popular items include pancakes with the flavor of butter and honey spreading throughout the mouth, and cream soda served in a retro-style goldfish bowl glass. Behind the counter, various shaped glasses are lined up, waiting for their turn in parfaits and more.
You can feel the dedication in the store's details, even the sugar container exudes retro cuteness. The towels prepared in the restroom give a sense of the traditional hospitality. Surrender yourself to the leisurely flow of time and listen to the conversations of local people, and you can experience an extraordinary non-daily life as if in a different world.
In spring, the garden is filled with blooming double cherry blossoms, and you can catch a glimpse of the store owner taking care of them with care. In the summer, it is crowded with people seeking coolness, and in the fall, you can spend a quiet time. Occasionally held exhibitions and live performances allow you to enjoy the unique charm of a café.
The popular 'Poem,' also boasting high popularity as a tourist spot, has been loved by local residents for many years. Taste the exhilarating retro world view and spend blissful moments in a space as if time has stopped. When visiting Onomichi, why not stop by and see for yourself.
