In a corner of a residential area just outside the center of Ichinomiya City, there is a hidden gem cafe 'Ema' renovated from a historic house dating back to the Edo period. This small house protected by a fence is an unnoticed existence for passersby, but it is a hidden local favorite loved by the people in the area.
As you enter the store, a traditional living room surrounded by rusty iron kettles and handmade goods spread out. The dishes served here are all Aichi's local cuisine using local ingredients. Particularly, the most popular is the traditional taste of 'Nagoya Meshi' that has been passed down for half a century. The flavor perfectly matched with sesame seeds and bonito flakes makes you feel both nostalgia and freshness at the same time.
While retaining its traditional appearance, the calm atmosphere is also cherished. Each moment savoring a cup seems as if time has stopped. Looking out the window, you can see the relaxed scenery of the alley. The greatest charm of 'Ema' would be the ability to spend a relaxed adult time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
