Cafe Information "Nakajima Taisho-do"

The other day, I went to Nakajima Taisho-do, a sweets and cafe specialty store located on the first floor of the Hiroshima Bank building. I would like to introduce this wonderful store to those who enjoy visiting cafes.

Exterior and interior

Located in a corner of the stylish Hiroshima Bank building, the sophisticated exterior catches your eye. The interior is a warm, wood-toned space, with colorful, beautiful Japanese sweets lined up in the showcase. The cafe space has a variety of seating options, including comfortable sofa seats and counter seats where you can casually stop by by yourself.

There is a wide lineup of Japanese sweets, from traditional to modern. In particular, the limited edition sweets made with seasonal ingredients are beautiful in appearance and taste, and the appeal is that you will discover something new every time you visit.

All of Nakajima Taishodo's popular sweets are appealing! We will introduce the unique flavors of each one and the drinks that can be enjoyed with them at the cafe.

Freshly roasted potato chestnuts

Taste characteristics: This is a dish that allows you to fully enjoy the taste of autumn, with sweet potato paste and smooth bean paste wrapped in pie dough and baked. The soft sweetness of sweet potato and the rich flavor of chestnuts spread in your mouth. It is recommended to eat it warm.

Kurimaru

Taste characteristics: A cute round-shaped snack that tightly seals in the flavor of chestnuts. The moist chestnut paste melts in your mouth, allowing you to enjoy the natural sweetness of chestnuts.

Tanba-yaki pie

Taste characteristics: This pie features a crispy pie crust made with plenty of Tanba Dainagon red beans. You can really feel the graininess of the red beans, and the rich sweetness spreads in your mouth.

Too much

Taste characteristics: This dorayaki has a nostalgic taste, with a chewy dough filled with bean paste. The bean paste is not too sweet, giving it a refined taste.

Nakajima Taishodo is a specialty Japanese sweets and cafe, and it conveys an appealing space that combines tradition and modernity.

A clash of Japanese and Western cultures, or unification?

Shima Daisho-do is a unique shop that fuses two contrasting cultures: traditional Japanese sweets and European cafe culture. The drink served with the sweets is coffee, not tea. At first glance, it may seem like an unrelated combination between Japanese and Western styles, like eating natto on bread, but when you try it, an unexpected harmony spreads in your mouth, opening up a new world of food.

However, this fusion is not simply a "clash," but rather can be described as "harmony."

• Space: The interior of the restaurant has a modern design, incorporating traditional Japanese elements, creating a new yet nostalgic atmosphere.
• Menu: By combining the delicate flavors of Japanese sweets with Western drinks such as coffee and tea, we create new discoveries and surprises.
• Experience: The experience of spending a relaxing time in a cafe whilst savoring Japanese sweets is a new proposal perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.
