Saitama, Japan｜醗酵café アルキ~Archi~

It’s a best cafe in this station 🚉 if you’re confused to see this café ‘may be its closed’ but that’s wrongly..!!! If you want to go for the coffee then you must be test a tost at least one. ☝️ I used just one time ..! It’s best…!!!

When I visited with my son, an elementary school student, first thing in the morning on a public holiday, he said there was no morning menu, so I ordered bonsai chiffon cake (with yokan) and organic coffee. My son ordered chiffon cake and fermented apple juice (sorry if the name is wrong! It's apple juice with a sweet sake-like flavor). The set drink was 300 yen. My son was delighted that both the apple juice and chiffon cake were delicious♡. I was interested in the careful decoration of the bonsai cake. It was a shame that I couldn't cut it cleanly with a fork. It was first thing in the morning on a public holiday, so it was reserved for us, but my son wanted to sit at the counter, so when I sat down, there was a QR code for free Wi-Fi posted on the wall, which I thought was kind of helpful. You can also use PayPay for payment. I think it would have been better if the area outside the entrance had been thoroughly cleaned. It's convenient to go by train as it's right across the railroad crossing near Omiya Koen Station.

I visited Fermentation Cafe Alki on Monday, September 12, 2022. The name of the cafe has been changed from Hanamo Mirai, but it is still a cafe that serves fermented foods as before. I entered the store after disinfecting with alcohol at the entrance. The restaurant has counter seats and table seats. The Wi-Fi password is posted and the inside of the store is free. The customer base was mostly women. Piano music was playing in the store. When I got to the counter seat, I was served cold water. The smiling and polite customer service of the staff is also good. I had a teriyaki rice flour burger and iced coffee. The teriyaki rice flour burger is 450 yen including tax and the iced coffee is 500 yen including tax, making the total 950 yen including tax. The teriyaki rice flour burger comes with fries, mayonnaise and tomato ketchup, and pickled paprika. The fries are thickly cut with skin on, and are hot, fluffy, and have a subtle sweetness. The teriyaki rice flour burger consists of chicken hamburger, pickles, lettuce, soy milk mayonnaise, etc. sandwiched between rice flour buns. The chicken hamburger steak has a moist texture and flavor, the lettuce is crunchy, and the rice flour bun is slightly chewy and fluffy. The taste of pickles and soy milk mayonnaise is also good. Pickled paprika has a tangy taste and is an accent. The iced coffee had a refreshing acidity and strong bitterness, and was very fragrant, with a good flavor and aroma. When you take a sip, it leaves a lingering aftertaste. It was healthy and delicious.
