KISSABA - café-bar

In Japan, a kissaten is etymologically a teahouse, but coffee occupies a prominent place. They developed in opposition to cafés, which, as their name suggests, had become noisy and festive places to drink alcohol. In contrast, a kissaten was a quiet, soothing place where writers and intellectuals gathered. Their image has become outdated over time, but today we're witnessing a revival and this ancient tradition is being brought back into fashion. At iRASSHAi, we've taken the best of both places to create KISSABA - café-bar.

KISSABA is not bookable (except for groups of 10 or more).

In the morning, you can enjoy emblematic Japanese pastries and savoury 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, cold-brewed iced teas such as sencha tea and green tea with yuzu. Our lattes include matcha latte, hojicha latte and kinako latte with deep, gourmet roasted soy powder. We also make surprising and delicious discoveries, like this matchaffogato, an affogato revisited with a matcha shot and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
