Entrance to Cafe Tokigusuri
Appearance of Café Tokigusuri
A quaint house located in Hokuto City, where beautiful nature spreads out.
Yes, this is the café “Jiyaku” run by the owner, Haruna Goto, who has fulfilled her dream of opening her own store by renovating a storehouse that had been built for about 100 years on the grounds of her parents' house.
What is Mr. Goto's passion behind the unfamiliar name of the restaurant?

In renovating the 100-year-old storehouse, the most important thing was to "preserve the status quo."
The process of reviving this splendid storehouse, which can no longer be built in the same way, as a store is truly exciting.
It is possible to pass on the wood and beams to the next generation by the hand of today's skilled carpenters, while keeping the letters left by the carpenters of the time.

When you open the heavy sliding door, you are in a storehouse rather than a store.You can feel the warmth of the wood, and a mysterious space spreads out that makes you feel as if the hands of the clock have stopped.
It is full of lovely antiques, such as a table made from an old sewing machine table and a 100-year-old clock that still keeps time.

surrounded by love

Cafe Tokigusuri's mascot dog
A favorite tableware, a favorite Beatles and records, and a signboard dog Hana-chan, a drug filled with many “loves”.
The theme is the thought that Mr. Goto, who took a long time to regain his strength even though he suffered from an eating disorder in adolescence, felt strongly that "time can be a medicine to heal and solve various problems."
Surrounded by the things you love, everyone can take a breather here.

Nostalgic omurice
The chicken rice, made with Koshihikari rice, which is organically grown by his father with a lot of love, has a refreshing and elegant taste without the sour taste of ketchup.
The beautiful form wrapped in Akeno's delicious eggs is a skill honed at the hotel.
Home-grown vegetable salad features a balsamic vinegar homemade carrot dressing that brings out the mellow sweetness of grapes.
*Lunch time limited menu from 11:14 to XNUMX:XNUMX (reservation required)

sweets and coffee

Cafe Tokigusuri pudding and coffee
Speaking of coffee shops, nostalgic hardened pudding!
Tracing the memories of the pudding that my mother made long ago, the taste of those memories makes my heart pound.
The "time medicine blend", which is a blend of four types of beans, spreads a soft and pleasant bitterness, and you can experience the subtleties of life.

After the interview

Mr. Goto, the owner of the shop, does not "make something new" but "respects and inherits what is now."
When I eat the food and sweets she makes, my heart becomes strangely calm.
I want to savor it slowly, carefully, and carefully, as if gently unraveling the memories of a distant day.
