Kissaba · Café-bar

In Japan, a kissaten etymologically designates a tea room, but coffee occupies a special place. They developed in opposition to the cafes, which, as their name does not indicate, had become over time noisy and festive places where consuming alcohol. Conversely, a Kissaten was a calm and soothing place where writers and intellectuals met. Their image has become obsolete over time, but today we are witnessing a revival and this ancient tradition is brought up to date. At Irasshai, we took the best of its two places to create the Kissaba · Café-Bar.

In the morning, we taste emblematic pastries in Japan as well as a salted offer with donburi in a friendly atmosphere. To accompany them, hot and cold drinks have been carefully selected: cereal infusions, exceptional teas such as matcha and gyokuro from Ippodo house, cold infused iced teas such as sencha and green tea at Yuzu. Among the Latti, we savor the Matcha Latte, Hojicha Latte, and the Kinako latte with a gourmet and deep roasted soy powder. We also make surprising and delicious discoveries, such as this Matchaffogato, an affogato revisited with a shot of Matcha and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
