One of the must-visit attractions in Otaru, Hokkaido, "Sakaimachi Street" shopping street

One of the famous old glass shops "Kitaichi Glass"🫙
Opened many branches in Otaru, and the largest branch is "Building 3"

The biggest feature of this cafe is that it is full of kerosene lamps💡
The environment is dark ~ but there is a lamp on every table
The atmosphere is very romantic💕
Every morning, the staff will hold a "lighting ceremony"
If you want to see the lighting process, you can choose to come in the morning
But we came during noon time, so we didn’t have to wait.
Order your food first before taking a seat, and then find a seat

Set meal [Chiffon cake with coffee] 780 yen

Food tastes normal, no big surprises
The main thing here is to appreciate the romantic atmosphere in the store🕯
In addition, there will be half-an-hour piano performance at 14:00/15:00/16:00 from Monday to Friday🎹 Unfortunately we didn’t catch it
