KAEDE

Welcome to KAEDE, an enchanting café nestled in the heart of Tochigi's residential area at 435-5 Omorimachi. This hidden gem, run by a charming mother-daughter duo, offers a delightful ambiance away from the bustling city life. As you step inside, the soft glow of the unique hyotan lamps and carefully curated handmade decor will instantly make you feel at home.

KAEDE is not just a café; it’s a retreat where time slows down, allowing you to savor your meals and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. The menu boasts a rich variety of dishes, with favorites including their perfectly round hamburger lunch set, which comes accompanied by a vibrant salad, delicately prepared small dishes, warming soup, and a delightful dessert that showcases the care and artistry that goes into each meal.

For those drawn to comforting flavors, their curry lunch is a must-try, served with the option of nutritious multigrain rice. The value is exceptional, especially considering the abundance and quality offered at reasonable prices—just ¥1,280 for a complete meal! Customers rave about the meticulous preparation and appealing presentation, with dishes served on beautiful tableware that enhances your dining experience.

What truly sets KAEDE apart is the heartfelt service; patrons leave feeling not just nourished but also deeply appreciated. As one reviewer mentioned, the staff's warm send-off with deep bows lingers in the heart, adding a personal touch often missing in today’s fast-paced dining scene.

The café, while tucked away in a narrow residential lane (with limited parking available for about four cars), is well worth the effort to find. Perhaps the most delightful surprise is their beverage offerings, including refreshing goya tea, providing a unique twist to your usual café experience. Guests have noted how the generous portion of food, including half-sized sweets, is a great deal, making KAEDE not just a stop for coffee but a true destination for a satisfying meal.

Whether you choose to indulge in their thoughtfully constructed dishes or simply enjoy a leisurely cup of tea in their charming interior, KAEDE promises an authentic and memorable experience that captures the essence of Japanese hospitality. Don’t miss the chance to discover why this cafe is a beloved treasure in Tochigi!
