KIHACHI Aoyama Honten

KIHACHI Aoyama Honten, located along Gingko Namiki Avenue in Gaienmae, is a popular restaurant offering French-based, stateless cuisine.

The first floor is a casual café and food hall, while the second floor is the main dining room where you can enjoy the dynamic view of Gingko trees, making it ideal for lunch and dinner as well as café time.

The restaurant also offers seasonal limited-edition sweets, with special menus featuring seasonal fruits such as strawberry in spring, peach in summer, and marron in fall.

This time, we visited around 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday and enjoyed strawberry cake and coffee.

Kihachi" in Gaienmae|Elegant cafe time with a view of gingko trees

Kihachi Aoyama Honten" is a popular restaurant located near Gaienmae Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, a 5-minute walk from Gaienmae Station, right next to the Gaien Icho Namiki trees.

I visited around 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. The main dining room on the second floor is for reservations only, but the cafe and food hall on the first floor can be used without a reservation. I was able to enjoy a relaxing café time while gazing at the rows of gingko trees.

Actual review of the strawberry cake and coffee set

I ordered the strawberry cake and coffee set that day.

The charm of 🍓 strawberry cake
The fluffy sponge is perfectly balanced with sweet and sour strawberries and light whipped cream.
Fresh strawberries are lavishly topped on top for a gorgeous appearance.
The cake is not too sweet and goes well with coffee.

The taste ofcoffee
Deep and savory flavor.
The coffee has a good balance of sourness and bitterness, making it a perfect match for sweets.

Kihachi offers different fruit sweets for each season, so you can enjoy a new taste every time you visit. Strawberry sweets in spring and peach sweets in summer are especially popular and sometimes sell out, so it is recommended to visit early in the season.
