けんけんの関西食べある記
Founded 80 years ago!! A coffee shop that has been loved by locals for a long time. The Kitano Shirakawa area is home to many stylish cafes. One such establishment is "Shizuka," which has been in business since 1937. Despite surpassing 80 years in operation, it continues to be loved by local residents and has become a popular coffee shop, even sparking interest on social media. The shop is located over 1000m away from Kitano Shirakawa Station, so it is recommended to visit by Kyoto City Bus, bicycle, or car. I wanted to explore the food in this area, so I went by bicycle. If taking the bus, the nearest bus stop is "Senbon Imadegawa," and the shop is located right there. The exterior exudes a sense of tradition. The sign also has an old-fashioned feel, evoking a sense of history. The interior is retro as well! The fluffy sofa chairs and vintage decorations give off a nostalgic vibe. Faded in some places, but it adds to the cozy atmosphere. Cute illustrations of girls are found on the seats, perhaps the inspiration behind the shop's name, "Shizuka." The bobbed hair gives an innocent feel to it. This time, I visited for breakfast and ordered a toast egg sandwich. The breakfast was huge! Toast, drink, and salad are included in the set. The egg sandwich was delicious! A soy sauce-based flavor, sweet and savory, just the way I like it. But that's not all! The menu that became popular on social media is the "fruit sandwich"! With its Instagrammable appeal, various fruit sandwiches from different shops are constantly popping up on the timeline. This shop, which has been offering fruit sandwiches for a long time, is no exception. In addition to the locals, young and stylish women are flocking to the shop. Here is the popular fruit sandwich: a colorful mix of seasonal fruits. The cross-section is so beautifully cut that you could stare at it forever! The combination of the lightly sweetened whipped cream and fluffy bread is excellent! Add the juiciness of the fruits, and you are guaranteed to feel happy. The "fruit sandwich" is not only popular for its appearance and taste but also for its nostalgic atmosphere. I realized that this is the reason for its popularity. If this shop were near my home, I would definitely visit often. Although I may not have the opportunity to go often, it is a favorite spot that I definitely want to visit again!
