The reason for the visit
If you like cafes, you’ll want to visit this “furniture x café” concept ✨.
To be honest, I don’t think there are many cafes that make use of furniture like this!
A relaxing moment of calmness in a relaxing space.
Enjoying a cup of tea while looking at Karimoku furniture… a feeling that makes your heart feel light and airy.
It has a great atmosphere and I loved it the moment I stepped in!
The staircase is retro and very nice!
Atmosphere
A stylish space surrounded by Karimoku furniture
The interior of Kissa Room Ryouken feels less like a typical café and more like stepping into an inviting living room.
Furnished with the iconic Karimoku60 series furniture, the space exudes warmth and quality craftsmanship.
From the moment you sit down, the comfortable chairs and tables envelop you in a sense of calm.
Window-side seats are especially popular, offering a serene view and a perfect spot for a leisurely experience.
The café’s unique feature? You can not only admire and use the furniture but also purchase it directly on-site.
If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle while enjoying a touch of luxury, this is the perfect spot.
Recommended Dishes
Daily Lunch Specials
The daily lunch specials are a highlight, focusing on fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
When my companion ordered it, the plate featured a perfect balance of meat and vegetables, offering a wholesome and flavorful experience.
That day’s menu included ginger pork, paired with vibrant vegetables for a healthy yet satisfying meal.
However, those with larger appetites may find the portions slightly modest.
If you enjoy nutritious food and great conversation, this is an excellent choice.
Cheesecake
I personally opted for a dessert and drink combination.
Among the selection of cakes, I chose the cheesecake made with Kiri cream cheese.
The cheesecake was rich and dense, offering a creamy texture that melted in the mouth with every bite.
Its flavor was more intense than its appearance suggested, making it a treat for those who love bold flavors.
However, if you prefer lighter, fluffy cheesecakes, this may feel a bit heavy.
For me, it was a dessert worth returning for!
Hojicha Chai
The Hojicha Chai is a special drink made with fragrant roasted green tea.
It delivers a mildly sweet and soothing taste, warming you from the inside out.
That said, it felt more like hojicha with milk rather than a traditional chai, as the spice notes were quite subtle.
If you’re a fan of hojicha, this drink is a must-try for its delicate flavor.
Pairing it with the cheesecake might not be ideal, though; a simple hot tea like Takamatsu tea would complement it better.
Who Will Love Kissa Room Ryouken?
This café is especially loved by women of all ages, from students to homemakers and office workers.

During my visit, I noticed a lively group of four women enjoying their time together.
If you want to impress your friends or partner with a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, this is the place to go.
Healthy lunches, homemade sweets, and premium teas will leave you feeling rejuvenated.
