Sakurai Kanseido Cafe Sakura

Welcome to Sakurai Kanseido Cafe Sakura, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Obuse, Nagano. This charming café offers a delightful escape for both locals and travelers seeking a taste of authentic Japanese confectionery. Open from 10 AM, it's the perfect spot to start your day with something sweet or unwind with a cozy treat.

As you step inside, you're greeted by the inviting aroma of freshly baked goods mingling with the rich, earthy scent of local coffee. The atmosphere is serene and welcoming, with options for quiet indoor seating or charming outdoor tables that allow you to bask in the natural beauty of the surrounding area.

The menu is a celebration of Japanese sweets, where the star is undoubtedly the Mont Blanc. It has left a lasting impression on visitors like 山中みちる, who couldn’t resist returning for more after her first taste. The Mont Blanc is a treat that features delicate layers of chestnut cream atop a rich base, completely satisfying both visually and palatably. Don't miss out on their Shifu Cake—a light and fluffy delight that many insist you could eat two of without even realizing! And for those who appreciate unique creations, the fried chestnut buns are a must-try; customers like 山中みちる found themselves wishing they had bought a whole box after just one bite, indicating just how delicious they are!

Another fan favorite is the Mont Blanc Soft Serve featured by Paul Walker. This unique dessert marries creamy vanilla soft serve swirled with rich mont blanc, creating a delightful fusion of flavors—though Paul humorously notes that once the topping is gone, it reverts to a classic vanilla, suggesting the café could benefit from additional seating options for enjoying their sweet concoctions comfortably.

Completing your visit, the café also offers locally made products, which adds an authentic touch and promotes the community's culture. Georgina Kimi praises the quiet ambiance and the outdoor seating, perfect for those looking to enjoy their delicacies amidst nature.
