🍜 Kanakanaカナカナ

From the Edo period to the Meiji period, there were many townhouses lining the streets of "Naramachi." In recent years, many shops have transformed into elegant cafes or stores. Among them, a pioneer is "Kanakana." This is a traditional coffee shop converted from a townhouse that is over a hundred years old, and stepping inside immediately awakens nostalgic memories. In addition to table seating, there are tatami mat seats where you can dine after removing your shoes on a raised platform. "Kanakana Set," which is available for both lunch and dinner, features a main dish that changes weekly, accompanied by several side dishes, desserts, and drinks, making it a very popular choice. In addition to basic Japanese cuisine, you can also enjoy the rich flavor of "Fresh Shrimp Curry" with shrimp paste and various delicious Brazilian dishes. During lunch hours, you might need to spend some time waiting in line, so it’s a good idea to stagger your visit and come during the afternoon tea time instead. The simple yet delightful cakes and seasonal ice cream desserts are also very delicious, making this a must-visit food spot in Naramachi.

The lunch period tends to be crowded, so it's recommended to visit early. There are also tatami seating areas where you can relax your tired legs after taking off your shoes. The "Kanakana Set Menu," which changes weekly, is the most popular! Among the wide selection of desserts, be sure to try the seasonal limited edition sweets.
