Kikori
Welcome to Kikori, a charming café nestled in Nishio, Aichi, where nostalgia meets comfort. As you approach this hidden gem, you might overlook it due to the vintage car parked nearby, but the welcoming flower wreath at the entrance is your invitation into a world of delightful flavors and soothing ambiance.
Kikori offers a menu that delights both the taste buds and the soul. One of their standout dishes is the カレーライス (Curry Rice), priced at an affordable JP¥700. This dish does not just fill your stomach; it warms your heart with a rich, aromatic curry that evokes memories of home-cooked meals. The café’s signature curry is known for its perfect balance of spices, enveloping tender rice that creates a comforting harmony on your plate.
For those with a penchant for sweets, Kikori serves a charming バニラアイス (Vanilla Ice Cream) priced at JP¥450, which is a delightful treat after a meal. If you're in the mood for a simple yet satisfying snack, the café’s トースト バター/ジャム (Toast with Butter/Jam) at JP¥400 is a delicious choice; the golden, crisp toast slathered in creamy butter or fruity jam offers that homey taste that many of us crave.
The atmosphere at Kikori is one of serene tranquility—a perfect setting to unwind with a good book or enjoy a leisurely chat with friends. Reviewers have expressed their fondness for its calm environment, making it an ideal spot for both solitary reflection and social gatherings. Customer 'まさき' noted the stylish decor, saying it creates a wonderful ambiance that can easily draw you in for repeated visits. This quaint café is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering a cozy retreat where you can savor each bite and sip.
While some patrons, like 'H.I', appreciate the nostalgic flair of this traditional establishment, highlighting its familiar feel as a bygone treasure, others reminisce about the past, as 'sim 3' shared fond memories of visiting with his wife years ago. The ambiance, combined with delicious offerings, really encapsulates that homey feel. Many visitors crave a more extensive dessert menu, as noted by 'まさき', which speaks to the love for sweet treats when paired with coffee or tea.
