Kurochashiro
Nestled in the charming village of Shisui in Chiba Prefecture, Kurochashiro is not your typical cafe; it's a haven for crepe enthusiasts and feline lovers alike. The establishment is wife-run, bringing a cozy, family-oriented vibe that makes every visit feel like a warm gathering with loved ones. This quaint cafe is a delightful surprise waiting to be discovered, adorned with an array of captivating cat photographs that reflect the name's inspiration—the colors of three beloved cats.
During your visit, you will be greeted by the amiable owners, who ensure that every customer feels welcome with their friendly and attentive service. With just about 10 seats, the intimate atmosphere invites you to unwind while savoring delectable creations crafted carefully in-house. Expect a bit of a wait, especially during peak hours—up to an hour when busy—but rest assured, the delicious taste of Kurochashiro's offerings will alleviate any impatience.
The star of the menu, of course, is the crepes. For just ¥900, you'll relish the immense flavors of their signature crepe featuring seasonal fruits, notably the highly praised white peach and ingenious concoctions like the Peach Crepe or Melon Crepe. Delightfully crafted with a thicker batter, these crepes overflow with fresh fruit, satisfying even the heartiest of appetites. A customer favorite, the peach crepe is paired with handmade lemon peel jelly, which accentuates the sweetness of the fruit perfectly.
Alongside sweet crepes, Kurochashiro also offers savory delights, including their delicious quiche and galette, perfect for a light lunch experience. As one reviewer noted, "the waiting period is well worth it for a delicious crepe or feast that you won't find elsewhere."
Apart from the exceptional food, the cafe's service deserves a mention as well. Customers have expressed gratitude towards the owner's caring nature, often contributing to a delightful dining experience. This personal touch, coupled with the inviting space decorated with cat-themed memorabilia, truly sets Kurochashiro apart.
Moreover, each season brings new flavors to explore, ensuring that no visit is ever the same. Whether you're on a quest for sweet indulgence or a savory bite, Kurochashiro has something to please every palate. If you're in Chiba and craving a memorable culinary adventure, make sure to visit this hidden gem. You may even find yourself returning for more!
Remember to keep your eyes peeled for seasonal specials and book a spot if you can, as the limited seating often fills up quickly!
