Kanakana

The "Naramachi" area is lined with machiya-style houses (residences of merchants and craftsmen) back to the Edo and Meiji periods. In recent years, it has become crowded with sophisticated cafes and stores. Kanakana is one of the pioneers in this area. The renovated machiya-style houses (residences of merchants and craftsmen), which are over 100 years old, are nostalgic cafes that bring back fond memories. In addition to table seating, there is also tatami seating where you can take off your shoes and enjoy your meal on a Chabudai table (Low tea table).

"Kanakana Gohan" dish, which can be ordered either at lunch or dinner time, is the most popular menu item and includes a main dish that changes weekly, several small bowls of food, dessert, and a drink. While based on Japanese cuisine, the menu offers a wide variety of tastes, such as "shrimp curry" with rich shrimp miso flavor, Brazilian cuisine, and more.

Lunch time at this restaurant often has a line out the door. So one is good idea you take a little time off to use it as a Cafe. The simple but lovely cakes, seasonal parfaits, and other sweets are also excellent, making it one of the must-visit places for those who want to explore the Naramachi area.
