Otsu, Shiga, Japan｜Kayano Coffee

A small cafe in a residential area with a relaxed but sophisticated coffeehouse atmosphere. Appears to also be part of a concept house which is available for viewing. The staff were professional and welcoming, the food was prepared and presented immaculately. I think that their hospitality helped to balance out the professional interior decoration with a more welcoming touch. The interior design is very nicely put together with quality wood furnishings and both counter and table seating. Seating is relatively limited as expected of a coffee shop of this size but it helps to maintain an almost exclusive feel that you might expect to wait in a queue for in bigger cities. The ice coffee was delicious and prepared to order. The French toast was amazing, used nice crusty bread with just the right amount of egg. One issue I find in Japan with French toast is that sometimes shops put far too much egg in the mix, this French toast had the perfect balance, enough to make the interior of the bread soft and fluffy without tasting like an omelette. The accompaniment of sweet syrup, creamy vanilla ice cream and generous fresh fruit helps to cement this as the best French toast I've had so far these few months in Japan. Now, the real star of the show here was the chocolate terrine. Rich, deep dark chocolate, perfectly smooth which melted in your mouth. The perfect balance of bittersweet creaminess from the terrine. Combined with the berry compote with which brought the acidity and additional sweetness to really bring out the flavour of the chocolate. Overall, an excellent cafe well worth visiting with some absolutely amazing desserts!

I googled it and came to this nearby cafe for the first time, and it had a great atmosphere and delicious coffee. I ordered French toast with ice cream and fruit and Mandolin coffee. I was also curious about Turkish coffee. It seems to be a popular restaurant as the seats are almost full. The general store next door had a variety of items, which was fun to look at, and I even found some 50-year-old jeans.

The interior is stylish and stylish with the warmth of wood. The French toast had crispy edges and was delicious without being too sweet. The vanilla ice cream was rich and the seasonal fruit was refreshing and delicious. The pudding is hard and just like a cafe pudding. Coffee went well with it. The tableware inside the store was sold at the attached store.
