ibushi cafe

Ibushi Cafe is a restaurant that offers Japanese cuisine and sweets in a cafe style, based on the concept of 'Invisible Craftsman's Touch'. Our chef, who has trained at a long-established ryotei in Kyoto, is dedicated to providing dishes that ensure customer safety, security, and deliciousness. One example of this is 'Aroma'. Aroma is an essential element that cannot be overlooked in creating 'Flavor' and 'Richness'. We use smoked seasonings made from thinned wood from Aichi during cooking to enhance the deep richness of our dishes.

We use the brand rice 'Haenuki' from Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, which has rich soil, clean water, abundant sunlight, and significant temperature differences between seasons and day and night. It is a rice with a good taste, aroma, and texture that pairs well with various dishes.

We use traditional soy sauce from a long-established manufacturer, made with a two-stage brewing process from the Kanto region. It is a 'completely additive-free' seasoning with no added flavorings, colorings, or preservatives.

We use pink rock salt that has been ground into a powder. We use the ones that have been carefully smoked in-house at our shop.

We use extra virgin olive oil from Spain. By smoking it, it adds a rich flavor to the dishes.

We use tea leaves produced by contract farmers in Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, using traditional cultivation methods. By being grown in the unique temperature differences of the mountainous area between morning and evening, it results in a rich and flavorful tea.

We use high-quality black-haired Wagyu beef that has been carefully nurtured in the land of Aichi, blessed with a warm climate and abundant water.

How about a smoked seasoning made using thinning wood from Aichi as an accent for your dishes? Just adding a little bit changes the flavor significantly.

Just right for your usual morning - rice, pork soup (with sake lees), and lightly pickled vegetables with smoked salt. You can enjoy it for the price of the drink only.

In the pork miso soup, we add sake lees that have been carefully steamed in a steam oven for over an hour to evaporate the alcohol. By doing this, the soup gains a deep richness and umami, and we take pride in how delicious it is. Enjoy it as is at first, then add smoked oil, and finally, add coarsely ground pepper to experience the changes in flavor.
