▪️Shop Name: 【safn゜】KAIKA TOKYO is a cafe with an artistic interior located inside an art storage warehouse on the first floor of a hotel. I arrived around 1:20 PM on Monday. About half of the seats were available, so I was able to sit down right away! ✂︎┈┈┈┈┈┈Ordered Items┈┈┈┈┈┈ ☑︎ Matcha Latte (Iced) @ 700 ☑︎ Seasonal Pudding Affogato @ 870 ✂︎┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ I waited for about 8 minutes, gazing at the vivid wall mural, and then my latte and pudding were served! The seasonal Pudding Affogato had a visual touch of spring with sakura ice cream. The matcha latte had a subtle bitterness of matcha, with the natural sweetness of milk being pleasant, and a hint of matcha lingering towards the end. The matcha pudding had a chewy texture with a slight bitterness and richness, while the sakura ice cream had a refreshing and elegant sweetness with a touch of Japanese essence. When eaten together, the sweetness and bitterness harmonized in the mouth, with the saltiness of pickled sakura leaves adding a nice accent. This artistic pudding that allows you to enjoy the Japanese aesthetics is a dish that I would recommend even to tourists from overseas. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!! ✂︎┈┈┈┈┈Shop Information┈┈┈┈┈ ▪️Location: 2-16-5 Honjo, Sumida-ku, Tokyo KAIKA Tokyo by THE SHARE HOTELS 1F ▪️Nearest Stations: About 10 minutes walk from Honjo-azumabashi Station, Asakusabashi Station, and Kuramae Station ▪️Business Hours: 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM (Weekends and Holidays: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM) ▪️Closed: Irregular holidays

The menu includes "Rich Pumpkin Pudding for ¥900" and "Cold Brew for ¥650" (tax included), and electronic payments are accepted. The system works by securing a seat first, then ordering and paying at the counter.

You can also add homemade bitter caramel sauce to finish. Enjoy your meal!

A cafe located between Asakusa and Kuramae, known for its popular pudding x ice cream. You can choose between matcha or black honey espresso sauce. I love matcha, so I chose matcha sauce and a matcha latte. The matcha flavor was not too sweet, rather slightly bitter, and delicious until the end! The muffins looked very delicious too, so I got fig and Earl Grey muffins for takeout...! There are plenty of seats and the atmosphere is great, so I want to go again!

The atmosphere was full of a stylish and inorganic cafe vibe, it was great! I ordered an ice cream with matcha sauce and pudding, along with a matcha latte. The ice cream was delicious, but the pudding had a strong oily taste, leaving a lingering oily sensation in my mouth after finishing it, which was a bit disappointing. The matcha latte was not very sweet, so for those who prefer sweeter drinks, adding sugar might be a good idea. (There was milk available behind the counter) Next time, I want to try the pumpkin pudding! (It's difficult with their weekend closure...)

Visit date: September 21, 2023 (Thursday) lunch Instagram: @mash_foodstagram Official LINE: https://lin.ee/AQBeKIP Popular cafe "safn゜" located on the first floor of the Art storage hotel KAIKA in Asakusa, Tokyo. "safn゜" means "museum" in Icelandic, and the cafe has a unique space that is inspired by an art warehouse. (It was quite similar to the drawings I create!) ---Order details--- ◉ Rich pumpkin pudding (900 yen) ◉ Iced tea (600 yen) The main reason for this visit was the "Rich pumpkin pudding" available on weekdays until October 31. In conclusion, it was delicious! Made with domestically grown pumpkin that is meticulously strained, it is extremely rich and has a gooey texture with a strong pumpkin flavor. The vanilla ice cream and salted caramel nuts provided a great accent in terms of texture. The natural sweetness of the pumpkin was well pronounced, making it a pudding that I really enjoyed. ------------【Mashu's Note】------------ ☞ Available until October 31 as a limited-time offer ☞ Available on weekdays only ☞ Cashless payment only

I stopped by before starting work. It's a shop that also serves as accommodation. I saw a few foreign travelers. Outside the window, there was a portable shrine. I had cold brew coffee, matcha, and white bean paste muffin. The gentle taste of cold brew coffee goes well with the matcha. The portion was generous. The interior of the shop is artistic. I had a good time. It seems like a good place for meetings or paperwork. They also have Wi-Fi. Thank you for the meal.

(safn° in Asakusa/Kuramae Pudding Collection No. 62) The name safn° means "art museum" in Icelandic. It's an interesting concept of a cafe inside an art warehouse. It seems like it used to be a warehouse of an old department store that was no longer in use, but suddenly turned into a hotel & cafe. The entrance is the same as the hotel, so you will be asked, "Are you here for the cafe?" after which you secure a seat and place your order at the counter. Your name will be confirmed first, and when your order is ready, you will be called by your name to pick it up at the counter. I ordered the Honjo Pudding (750 yen) and an Americano (650 yen). The pudding is quite firm, requiring a strong spoon to dig into it. It has a strong egg flavor, a traditional taste that I like! The caramel is bitter and powdery, another aspect I enjoy. However, I don't think the ice cream is necessary. The coldness of the ice cream makes it hard to fully appreciate the flavor of the pudding, and once it melts, the bitterness of the caramel is lost. I just want to savor the pudding on its own. If you're a pudding lover, you might agree with me on this. It's a shame to see such a delicious pudding being overshadowed by unnecessary ice cream. I wish they offered a menu with just the pudding for around 500 yen. As for the coffee, it's from a shop in Kiyosumi. It doesn't have any particular standout features, and the aftertaste is a bit sharp, which I personally don't like. Sorry about that... (Summer 2022) It's already been a year... On the Sumida side. Cross Komagata Bridge and continue straight ahead. It's in a residential area. It's about a 14-minute walk from Kaminarimon. ----------------------- *This is the Asakusa/Kuramae Pudding Collection by Shitamachi Nine. For reference.

I visited safn in Honjo, Sumida-ku after seeing the seasonal affogato new items on the store's Instagram. I ordered the following items: Seasonal Pudding Affogato (Weekday Limited: Rich Pumpkin Pudding) (900 yen), Seasonal Muffin (Earl Grey Fig Cream Cheese Muffin) (550 yen), Oat Milk Latte (750 yen). When I arrived at the store at 10 a.m. on a weekday, there was one customer sitting alone and a group of two people. Shortly after, another customer arrived alone. Although the store was not full, it started to fill up quickly after 10 a.m. The Seasonal Pudding Affogato (Weekday Limited: Rich Pumpkin Pudding) is made by carefully mashing domestic pumpkins to create a creamy and smooth yet rich pumpkin pudding. On top of the rich pumpkin pudding, there is vanilla ice cream and homemade salted caramel nuts as toppings. You pour homemade bitter caramel sauce over it before eating. The pumpkin pudding is really rich and thick. When eaten with the melting vanilla ice cream, it creates a nice balance of sweetness. The crunchy nuts reminded me of the arrival of autumn. The Seasonal Muffin (Earl Grey Fig Cream Cheese Muffin) uses luxurious Hokkaido flour and butter, and incorporates fragrant Earl Grey tea leaves, crunchy walnuts, and chewy figs in the dough. Inside, there is cream cheese that complements it well, topped with tea-flavored icing and homemade fig tea on top. When I actually ate it, the fluffy aroma of Earl Grey spread, and the cream cheese inside added a surprising accent, making it a luxurious muffin where you can also enjoy the seasonal figs. The rich pumpkin pudding is available until October 31. Please note that it is only available on weekdays starting from 10 a.m. By the way, I was curious about the word "takk" written on the coaster, so I asked the staff, and they said it means "thank you" in Icelandic. I enjoyed my meal on this day as well. Thank you for the delicious food.

I had the most delicious rich pumpkin pudding that is only available on weekdays at safnﾟ in Kuramae. The cafe is located in an art warehouse and has a stylish and artsy atmosphere. They offer specialty coffee, vegan meals, puddings, and baked goods. The cashless payment system adds to the modern feel of the cafe. The pumpkin pudding I tried was creamy and smooth, made from carefully strained domestic pumpkin. It was topped with a generous amount of milky vanilla ice cream and homemade salted caramel nuts. The pudding was incredibly rich, allowing you to savor the natural sweetness of the pumpkin. Don't miss out on this exquisite pumpkin pudding if you visit safnﾟ!

The classic set includes a pudding topped with ice cream and a matcha latte. There are also muffins available, some made with dandelion chocolate. The drink selection is varied and the flavors are good. However, despite its popularity, the seating is limited. I went for tea time on a Sunday and had to wait for about 2 hours.

The location is a bit far from Toei Asakusa Station, but it's quieter and more peaceful. It's inside a hotel, so first-timers might be confused at first. The interior has a stylish atmosphere, like having art in a warehouse. The matcha latte was just the way I like it - not too sweet. They also have several types of black tea, including a unique peach moon tea that tasted like chamomile. It's a great place for those who don't like Earl Grey. The pudding is said to be smooth and creamy.

The cafe is a bit far from the station, but customers keep coming in. When I visited around 1pm with two friends, it was almost full. By the time we left, there were about 10 people waiting for seats. I don't like coffee or matcha, so I went along with my friend. It's a one-drink minimum, so I just had water, but my friend ordered a cafe latte and a pudding affogato. I can't comment on the coffee taste, but the cafe latte seemed like something you could get anywhere. The pudding, topped with syrup and black honey, had a strong coffee acidity that I didn't quite like. You might be thinking, if you don't like coffee, why go there... but my friend loved the cold brew.

To Safun in Honjo Azumabashi, I saw the matcha pudding affogato on Instagram and saved it. After securing a seat, I ordered the "Pudding Affogato" with matcha sauce and an iced matcha latte at the counter. The cold matcha latte was smooth and slightly bitter, delicious! When mixed, it tasted even richer. The matcha was smooth but had a strong bitter taste. I could keep drinking it. The pudding affogato had a sweet pudding, so the strong matcha sauce paired well. The pudding was firm with a rich egg flavor. On top of that, there was melting vanilla ice cream and rich matcha sauce, which was delicious. Thank you for the meal. #HonjoAzumabashiGourmet #HonjoAzumabashiCafe #HonjoAzumabashiSweets #KuramaeGourmet #KuramaeCafe #KuramaeSweets #OshiageGourmet #OshiageCafe #OshiageSweets #Safun #matchalatte #matcha #matchalover #affogato #puddingaffogato #BijutsuSoko

Kuramae is full of trendy cafes that I want to visit, but this time I went to the cafe that I was most interested in. The exterior looks like this might be the place. The building was built in 1966. It was renovated from an art warehouse into the hotel "KAIKA TOKYO," and inside there is a cafe. Once you step inside, it's very stylish. Surrounded by lovely art. I secured a seat first and went to the counter to place an order. My main goal was the pudding affogato. You can choose between matcha sauce or black honey espresso. I chose matcha. This pudding is very popular and can sometimes sell out, so if this is your goal, it's best to go early. The pudding is a bit firm and just the way I like it! Pour the matcha sauce over the large scoop of ice cream, and I thought it would be very bitter because of the intense color, but it wasn't that bitter. The matcha sauce goes really well with the sweetness of the ice cream and pudding! It was very delicious. Overall, not too sweet, and I could eat it all without getting tired. Among the pudding affogatos I've had in recent years, this one was one of the best. For the drink, I had chamomile roasted tea. It was my first time trying chamomile roasted tea. The aroma of chamomile and the fragrant roasted tea matched perfectly and tasted delicious. I thought, "These two go well together!" It's refreshing to drink. The interior is stylish and has a calm atmosphere, making it a very nice cafe. After having lunch near Kuramae Station, we took a break here before going for a walk in Asakusa. It's a nice place for a stroll and a rest. Note: Payment is cashless.

I visited the artistic cafe "safn゜" located on the first floor of KAIKA TOKYO, inside a art warehouse, an 8-minute walk from Asakusa Station. I tried the ⭐️Pudding Affogato with Matcha Sauce for 850 yen⭐️ and the Iced Matcha Latte for 700 yen. The dessert had a firm pudding topped with a round scoop of ice cream, drizzled with matcha sauce. The combination of matcha bitterness and the sweetness of the ice cream was delightful. It was a great experience to relax in the artistic atmosphere of the cafe. Please note that only cashless payments are accepted, so cash users should be aware.

On a holiday evening, I visited a café that I had been curious about because it kept popping up on Instagram recommendations. It was not in my usual dining or hangout area, so I felt like going on a little adventure. When I arrived at the café, I was surprised to find that it had a stylish, Korean vibe. It was a unique setup where they also stored and displayed art pieces. I ordered a matcha muffin with white bean paste, an iced coffee, and unfortunately, the pudding was sold out by the time I got there at 6 pm. The iced coffee was on the acidic side. I really wanted to try the pudding... If I have plans to visit the Asakusa area again, I will definitely make a detour to this café!

I visited this place because I love matcha and often saw it on Instagram. They serve a dessert where ice cream is placed on top of pudding, and then matcha sauce is poured over it. The pudding is quite rich, so it's better to visit for lunch and a snack rather than just a cafe. The cafe is located in front of the hotel entrance and has a good atmosphere despite the somewhat impersonal interior.

Located about a 10-minute walk from Kuramae Station, "Safn" is a cafe inside the renovated Art Warehouse Building, which is now a hotel called "KAIKA TOKYO". The building, originally constructed in 1966, has been transformed into a hotel with 6 floors, featuring art and a lounge on the 1st floor and basement floor. The space is a haven for art lovers with its unique atmosphere. I visited this trendy cafe, which opened in June 2022, and heard that their pudding is especially popular. The name "Safn" means "art museum" in Icelandic. As soon as you step inside, you'll feel like you've entered a different world, with a fantastic ambiance that almost makes you feel like you're overseas. The stylish BGM adds to the experience, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. Inside, there are various seating options including 4-person tables, booth-like seating, and larger tables, all arranged spaciously. The walls are adorned with large paintings and art pieces, creating a unique setting to enjoy sweets and coffee while admiring the art. I visited around 6:30 pm on a holiday, and the cafe was already full. After an 8-minute wait, we were able to get a table. It seems that there can be long lines during lunchtime, as it is a very popular spot. Note that reservations are not accepted! Today, I tried the following: - Espresso Tonic (seasonal drink) ¥750 - Ethiopia Hand Drip ¥800 - Dense Matcha Muffin ¥500 - Chocolate Banana Muffin ¥500 You order at the counter, and then your order is called out for pickup. Unfortunately, the pudding I wanted was already sold out by the evening. I ended up ordering the matcha muffin, which was moist and had a delightful texture with chewy mochi inside. The seasonal Espresso Tonic was also a hit, with a refreshing bitterness from the tonic water and a perfect blend of espresso. Next time, I'll make sure to come earlier to try the pudding. Despite the long lines during lunchtime, this cafe is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

It's like an art museum! The latest cafe ☕️ and other date spots to see @naotaka_cafegram safn° in Asakusa Hotel, a cafe gallery opened in June where you can enjoy art while spending time at the cafe was too happy! Many people also use it as a lounge. You can also drink craft beer. When you enter, you'll be surprised as the space gives the illusion of being in an art museum! First, grab a seat and place your order ☕️ You can choose your favorite coffee beans, and the pastry case has delicious-looking scones. The matcha pudding is also famous!

KAIKA Tokyo's cafe restaurant, safn, is located on the first floor of the hotel. I visited around 12:30 on Sunday and the place was already bustling with about 7 groups of customers! The interior is filled with unique artworks by various artists, making it a great place to enjoy coffee paired with art. I tried the limited edition hojicha pudding affogato this time! It consisted of a rich hojicha pudding topped with black bean and kinako ice cream, drizzled with hojicha affogato sauce. It was a hojicha lover's dream! If you love hojicha, this is a must-try dish.

The hotel 'KAIKA Tokyo by THE SHARE HOTELS' is located inside a renovated art storage building built in 1966. The pudding with matcha sauce is just adorable...♡ It was cute even before pouring the sauce, but it became even cuter! The white pudding has a nice firmness and is slightly sweet. When combined with the bitterness of matcha, it's just right. The matcha latte is not too sweet, and both the pudding and matcha were delicious until the end.
