Kissaten are literally “tea-drinking shops” that gained popularity in the Showa Era and were distinct from modern cafes. In this feature, we introduce a Japanese-style kissaten with an elegant, retro atmosphere and warm wooden interiors, quite different from modern, minimalist cafes.
Tabi Suru Kissa (旅する喫茶) is located in Koenji (高円寺), a popular residential area in Tokyo. Unlike traditional kissaten, this cafe offers curry rice and cream soda made using local ingredients that are sourced directly from various prefectures.
Dinning Highlights
A must-try is this mouthwatering Japanese curry rice.
You can order this dish with a cheese topping.
The curry rice at this restaurant is just as delicious as any other famous restaurants you may want to visit.
The signature item of this restaurant is the cream soda. A typical Japanese drink, cream soda is made from fruit-flavored syrup mixed with sparkling water and topped with vanilla ice cream and cherries.

Depending on the season, you will also find different fruit toppings other than cherries.

For complete relaxation, this restaurant also provides pens, crayons, and pads for drawing. You can sketch or write comments about the dishes and drinks served here.
