Hello travelers! π
This is Yuzu, writer for Sarukuma π»
Today we’re heading to a charming little spot in central Kumamoto City β
Kish Cafe, located in Uoyamachi β
You’ll find it right in front of the Gofuku tram stop, next to the West Fire Station π

An adorable signboard greets you at the entrance π

The parking area covers this entire lot π
With this much parking available,
you won’t have to stress about finding a spot β perfect for visitors driving in π
How stylish is this?!

Outside, there’s a lovely terrace seating area π
Dining outdoors in this season feels extra special π
Now, let’s head inside!!!

There’s also cozy indoor seating π

They serve biscotti too β
dip them in your coffee for the perfect bite π

Summer special β Japanese shaved ice (kakigori) for just 360 yen π

Recommended Menu Items
Here’s what we tried during our visit:

First up, Biscotti β 100 yen
Crisp, crunchy, and so addictive β
it was gone in seconds π
I meant to enjoy it with coffee, but I couldn’t resist pairing it with a non-alcoholic beer instead π
Sipping a non-alcoholic beer in this perfect weather
was absolute bliss πΊ
Having non-alcoholic options is such a thoughtful touch π
Next up:

Hot Sandwich with Melty Double Cheese β 550 yen
And here’s the kicker β
add a drink as a set and you get 100 yen off the drink π
Even non-alcoholic beer qualifies for the discount πππππππ

Can you feel the crispiness of the bread and that double cheese?

That cheese pull is everything π
Absolutely irresistible π€©
Here’s a confession from me, though…
I’m not normally a fan of cheese…
BUT BUT BUT!!!!
I actually loved it!!!
No exaggeration β this is genuinely true!
Even cheese-skeptics can enjoy this hot sandwich π
The staff were lovely and welcoming too β€οΈ A truly relaxing visit π
