Sweet shop Kuriya Kashi Kurogi and roastery cafe Sarutahiko Coffee are collaborating to open their own cafe for a limited period from August 12 to November 11.
Both chains have innovated the worlds of traditional Japanese food and coffee respectively and are now coming together to co-open a new cafe.
The highlight of this collaboration are the two original shaved ice flavours, ‘Sumitachibana’ and ‘Sumizumi,’ both of which can’t be found anywhere else.
Sumitachibana is a mix of cold-brew coffee syrup, sudachi citrus syrup, and a homemade cream cheese. It’s a never-before-seen combination that is both rich and refreshing.
The coffee served at the cafe is made using rare beans that won Cup Of Essence (COE) and geisha beans. Every mug of this drip coffee is made carefully one by one.
The cafe interior uses white as a base colour and is decked out with handmade antique wood and aluminium furniture to give it a unique but mellow atmosphere.
Enjoy a relaxing time with a mug of high class coffee and Japanese sweets made using carefully selected ingredients.

“Chushutsusha” which introduces the culture of Japanese tea to the world, has developed a new menu item of the demand center style café, “the AIRSTREAM GARDEN” named “Koini Ochiiru (fall in love) Ujimatcha Latte” released on the 6th of April (Fri.)
Hibiki Fujioka (barista) and Yuya Koyama (Japan’s first “charista” – tea barista) developed “Chushutsusha” which is introducing the new café culture of Japan created based on the key word of “extracting technology.” They decided to develop and sell “Ujimatcha Latte” at “the AIRSTREAM GARDEN” created based on the key word of “creating a new community by extracting our passion.”
“Ujimatcha Latte” (550 yen – tax included) uses the single-origin matcha tea leaves produced in “Tsujiki,” the tea producing farm family in Ujishi, Kyoto. It is a brand new Japanese tea which has a rich flavor that goes well with the taste of milk.
“the AIRSTREAM GARDEN” is also selling many other kinds of drinks and food items. Their original blend of coffee created by a professional roaster will be served in two ways (espresso and hand drip). The café latte created with their special espresso machines is one of the most popular menu items they sell! For those of you who want to enjoy the real taste of coffee we recommend you choose the hand dripped coffee.
The lunch box menu items produced by the catering service, “Mo:take” will be offered on a day-by-day basis. Both main and side dishes can be chosen at your own will and you can eat your food on the wood deck or you can takeout your order.
Why not spend a splendid time at “the AIRSTREAM GARDEN” which will sell some very special menu items?

Hello, my name is Shiota. I am the curator of MOSHI MOSHI BOX Harajuku Information Center.
Ebisu is an area that tops my chart in “the area in which I want to reside.” I visited Ebisu, an area where many fashionable and food-loving people gather with one of my center staff, Ellie.
In this article, I will introduce to you the special coffee shop, “Sarutahiko Coffee” Ebisu Main Store which is gathering much attention nowadays.
The interior the shop has a warm atmosphere.
The inside of the store is small but it has a cozy atmosphere. The interior’s color coordination is very fashionable.
And the charm point of this shop is that the staff are all very friendly. They are not pushy with their customers but are very kind and thus the atmosphere of the shop is very good. I can tell that they are relating with their coffee and customers with love. I visited the shop before, privately and at that time I stayed in the shop for a long time.
Tomoyuki Otsuka – the head of the shop.
He used to be an actor but changed his job and started to sell coffee.
He studied about coffee very hard and has lots of knowledge about coffee.
He did not have enough money to install a counter when he first started the shop, so he made the counter himself. He said he sanded the planks used in his shop himself using sandpaper!
Official coffee shop of Sarutahiko Shrine in Ise
Many coffee shops in Japan have an English name but Sarutahiko Coffee uses Kanji characters for the shop’s name (猿田彦珈琲).The name “Sarutahiko” was officially bestowed by Sarutahiko Shrine in Ise.
So, the shop is officially approved by the shrine. They also sell souvenirs other than coffee. The shrine enshrines “Michihiraki” so the souvenirs are popular as gifts at wedding parties.
Michihiraki blend (5 packs) (959 yen, tax included)
Menu items which make you want to drink many cups of coffee
Sarutahiko Coffee offers hand-dripped coffee. It feels good to watch the staff making your coffee. Sarutahiko Coffee is a coffee shop which promotes the culture of “hand dripped coffee.” Before they started offering hand dripped coffee, such coffee was thought to be the “wrong” way to make coffee.
Classic French Short (399 yen, tax included)
The deep dripped hand dripped coffee is more bitter than other coffees. It has less sourness and it is easy to drink.
Caramel Flappe Short (529 yen, tax included)
This drink is not too sweet and has a strong coffee flavor. It is recommended for those of you who love sweet desserts and do not drink coffee so often. The ice melts tenderly inside your mouth so you won’t get a headache.
Coffee of the day, Sarutahiko French (300 yen, tax included)
When we see “coffee of the day,” it makes us think that we will only be able to drink this coffee today, so we had better not miss this chance.
The “coffee of the day” offered on the day I visited the shop was “Sarutahiko French,” a standard coffee of the shop which is bitter but fresh at the same time.
The Japanese-style design of the cup is very cute.
By the way, did you notice that the prices of the menu items noted above are cheaper than the usual prices in other shops? Very reasonable indeed!
This is because the head of the shop wants to create a community-based shop.
“I want my customers to visit my shop several times per day and feel that the shop is a part of their daily lives.”
The head of the shop is surely a passionate person who loves his coffee, customers and the local area he resides in.
I became a fan of Sarutahiko Coffee through this visit.
Currently, there are seven branches of Sarutahiko Coffee inside Tokyo. Let’s visit one of their shops and have a real good coffee!

The second Tabekko Doubutsu Cafe Stand event opened in Omotesando on November 1, 2022. Paying homage to the classic snack first released in 1978, the cafe features a number of tasty snacks inspired by the thin animal-shaped cookies popular around the world.
This second event will run through January 9, 2023. Reservations are required, and many dates were completely sold out prior to the event’s start date, particularly on weekends. We decided to visit, anxious to see what the fuss is all about.

From acrylic keychains to figures, visitors can snag some adorable merchandise to commemorate their trip to the exclusive event. Why not snag some items that would be useful on a daily basis, like a notebook or an apron?
For food, visitors can snag a special Oden Set and Chinese Dumplings, both perfect for the winter. The oden features popular ingredients like egg, daikon, fish cake, and mochikinchaku, each branded with the popular animal characters. Drinks include soy milk, green tea milk, and milk tea.
In addition to the exclusive Lion Cake which is limited to 25 servings a day, guests can find chocolate bananas and other sweets on the menu, including a Sweets Set limited to those reserving special seats at the venue. For every ¥1,000 spent on food and drink items, customers will receive one Tabekko Doubutsu trading card!
The exhibition space is a must-see for fans of this legendary snack, filled with rare works including an adorable and very colorful print of every animal holding a bowl of oden. Of course, a photo spot has been set up for visitors to take some prime shots for social media!
Don’t miss the animal meet and greet, which is making its triumphant return from the last event! Visitors can interact with different animals on different days, so check the official Twitter page (@tabekko_cafe) for the schedule and more information!

This fluffy shaved ice is topped with coconut milk, Taiwanese pineapple, and a generous dollop of sweet sauce. The ginger adds a spicy accent, keeping it interesting until the final bite.
Terrace Dining TANGO is attached to The Place of Toyo, a wedding hall overlooking Tokyo Tower. The shaved ice, available only during the summer, is made of natural ice that has been filtered and frozen slowly for 48 hours to create a fluffier texture. Each is served with a special sauce made by the restaurant’s pâtissier.
Come enjoy these sweets that make summer a little more fun!
