KISSABA · the café

In Japan, a kissaten etymologically refers to a tea room, but coffee holds a prominent place there. Born as a reaction to the cafés of the time, which gradually became noisy places where alcohol flowed freely, kissaten established themselves as refuges: calm, intimate spaces frequented by writers and intellectuals. An institution that has stood the test of time.

At iRASSHAi, we have reinterpreted all of this in our own way. KISSABA comes to life in two stages. By day, it is a café where you settle in, slow down, and savor the moment. In the evening, it transforms into a temaki bar: temaki are prepared to order, right in front of you, using fresh, carefully prepared ingredients. Two atmospheres, one place, and a good reason to come back.

Open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. for coffee, 7 days a week

KISSABA · the café

Breakfast from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.; lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (3:30 p.m. on weekends); drinks until 6 p.m.

Matcha latte and pastries when it opens, donburi at lunchtime, and now temaki in the evening: KISSABA is constantly evolving throughout the day.

The hot and cold drinks have been carefully selected: grain infusions, exceptional teas such as matcha and gyokuro from Ippodo, and cold-brewed iced teas such as sencha tea and yuzu green tea. Among the lattes, enjoy matcha latte, hojicha latte, and kinako latte made with the rich, deep flavor of roasted soybean powder. You can also make surprising and delicious discoveries, such as this matchaffogato, a reinvented affogato with a shot of matcha and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
