01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Set along the railway line just a short walk from JR Komagome Station, SAKURA Kitchen Cafe offers a relaxed retreat. After ordering on the 1st floor, you can head upstairs to the air-conditioned seating on the 2nd floor or step out onto the airy rooftop terrace on the 3rd floor. From the rooftop terrace, passing trains drift through your line of sight, lending an easygoing urban rhythm to the scene. An outdoor terrace is also located on the 1st floor, where guests can visit together with pet dogs.
Fragrant Baked Goods and Cherry Blossom Treats
A standout sweet on the menu is the freshly baked petit financier made with Calpis butter. Baked to order in just a few minutes, these bite-sized cakes balance a fragrant, lightly crisp exterior with a moist crumb inside, making them well worth ordering. Paying homage to the cafe's name, seasonal cherry blossom creations are also prominent, from a sakura chiffon cake accompanied by generous dollops of whipped cream to a sakura cream soda that blends crisp carbonation with gentle floral sweetness.
Hearty Western-Style Plates for Lunch
When it is time for a substantial lunch, the kitchen prepares satisfying yoshoku (Western-style Japanese) plates. A perennial favourite is the chicken omelette pilaf, pairing chicken-studded rice with a fluffy soft-set omelette and a ladle of rich demi-glace sauce. Other hearty choices include a spice-accented chicken plate and a seafood doria, which tops shrimp- and squid-tossed rice with creamy white sauce and melted cheese baked until bubbling and golden.
The beverage lineup ranges from house blend coffee, decaf options, and organic rooibos tea to wine and Belgian beer. Find your favourite seat, take in the relaxed pace, and unwind with comforting plates and sweets at this cosy neighbourhood perch.
