Amamiya

I went to Amamiya with my brother. Amamiya is a cafe in the Kami-tori which serves Japanese cakes and meals. This cafe has a lot of menu, for example, parfait, anmitsu, zenzai, kakigori which are the sweets, and udon, carry, donburi which are the meals.  Amamiya is small cafe. You have to go up stairs to enter the cafe, so you can see a banner on your left side.


I ordered set menu B. These are pictures. I ate coffee jelly, cold zenzai of matcha, and hot tea. I have come there for several times, but I ordered this for the first time. When I went there before, I and my brother ordered matcha parfait.




This is a coffee jelly. I was really surprised because I couldn't see coffee jelly. This coffee jelly was served with vanilla ice cream and kinako on it. Kinako is roasted soybean flour. I have never seen and eaten such a coffee jelly. At first, I thought it was strange and I wonder it is good. However, it was very delicious!!! I found this combination is good. I want to eat again. I like it.



This is a cold zenzai of matcha. Zenzai is a Japanese sweet made of azuki which is red beans, sweetened with sugar, and mochi that is Japanese rice cake or shiratama dango, sweet dumplings made of sweet rice flour called shiratamako. This zenzai is matcha soup and use shiratama dango. I like shiratama dango because it is springy and smoothly texture. It's easy to eat a lot. I ate zenzai of matcha for the first time. I like matcha, so I think it was good.



My brother ordered kakigori. This flavor is matcha. He was looking forward to eat kakigori since this summer. This kakigori has matcha source which pour when you eat before and shiratama dango. Also, you can see warabi mochi in it and azuki on the top. He tried to eat it with matcha source, but he found that he didn't like matcha. It was too bitter for him to eat, so he didn't pour the matcha. I ate it and I also thought it is bitter. He likes parfait better than kakigori of matcha. I want to eat kakigori in summer.

If you want to eat Japanese sweets, I recommend this cafe. There are private room and tatami room. The atmosphere was comfortable. I want to go there again.
