Fruit canapés and homemade operators at Cafe Bunroku

Fruit canapés 400 yen, homemade operator 600 yen. Canapés made with seasonal fruits are even better when paired with an operator made with homemade ginger syrup. The photo shows figs and mascarpone, and apples compote with brandy and cream cheese.

[Closed] A coffee shop [Café Bunroku] that you will want to frequent in Ajiki Alley is now available

August 01, 2021 open

In August 2021, a coffee shop run by a young man in his 20s opened in a row house near Kiyomizu Gojo Station called "Azalea Alley," which has produced numerous young artists and is home to many workshops and restaurants run by young people.

Left: Tetsuya Tada, Right: Yuriko Takada. Mr. Tada, from Osaka, and Ms. Takada, from Kyoto, were classmates at university. Mr. Tada is mainly in charge of cooking, while Ms. Takada is in charge of customer service and writing.

Ms. Tada, who is mainly in charge of cooking and greets customers with a friendly smile at the storefront every day, has diverse experiences, including studying abroad in China after graduating from college in 2018 and running a weekend-only coffee shop after returning to Japan, where she stayed at a private residence and rented a bar.

I honestly started it because I couldn't find a job, so I had to do something on my own," he says. I couldn't get a job, so I thought I had to do something on my own! Although the reason for opening the store is unexpected, the delicious food and Tada's personality have attracted many regular customers, who have all become fans of the shop.

Cafe Bunroku Neapolitan

Seasonal Neapolitan 880 yen. This day was autumn, with plenty of mushrooms and autumn eggplants. The homemade ketchup is addictive.

Although Mr. Tada has no experience working in a restaurant, he is a veteran with many years of experience, having cooked for his mother since he was a child because she was a single mother. The most popular dish, Neapolitan, is seasoned with homemade ketchup that is simmered for a long time. The acidity and flavor of the tomatoes are perfectly balanced and addictive. The menu is so popular that there are many repeat customers, some of whom visit three times a week. Another popular item is Bunroku Pudding (350 yen).

Cafe Bunroku

The friendly and comfortable atmosphere makes this a coffee shop you will want to make a regular stop.
