Ichiemi Cafe

At Ichiemi Cafe, the pleasure begins with choosing between different flavours of Basque-style cheesecake. The cafe describes its creamy cakes as generously made with Japanese cream cheese, cream and eggs. Alongside plain, the menu includes options such as brown rice tea and pumpkin. One visitor compared the plain, hojicha and Earl Grey versions, and was particularly taken with the mellow, gently flavoured cheese and the roasted aroma of the hojicha. Another noted that the cake had just the right texture—not too firm or too soft when cut with a fork—and enjoyed the plain and pumpkin flavours as takeaways.

For a more pronounced cheese flavour, hojicha makes a good choice; for a taste of the cake itself, start with plain. Visitors have also mentioned seasonal flavours. The menu includes matcha and white chocolate terrine, as well as a smooth chocolate terrine.

Toast brunch is another option, whether or not you come for cake. Sets such as curry and egg toast and mentaiko toast are described as including a daily salad, yoghurt with jam and a drink. One diner found the pizza toast portion just right, making it a possibility for a lighter meal. Choose coffee, tea or café au lait to drink, and there is also a wide selection of teas.

For those visiting with children, one review mentions a children’s play area on the 2 floor. It is useful to know about if you are looking for somewhere children can play while you enjoy cake and a drink. Basque-style cheesecake is available to take away, so you can choose a flavour to enjoy in the cafe or bring one home.
