Oh, what a quiet place here it!

A view of the garden from inside the restaurant.

I was spending very relaxed time and reading books at this place at that day.

Old books and tea house Kotoba no haoto

It is located on a back street, a shortcut from Shimei-dori to Kuramaguchi-dori in Kamigyo Ward. It is a book café in the style of an old private house, and at first glance, it couldn’t really looked like but only an ordinary old house. But this is exactly the place I visited this time, “Old books and tea house Kotaba no haoto”.

The interior of the tatami room is a very relaxing space with quiet music playing, where you can really calm your mind and read a book in a relaxed atmosphere. It is the best place for reading. There were quite a few books in the small book café.

You can pick up a book from the bookshelf and read it. Or you can read a book you brought in yourself. You can spend your time as you like.

And the most attractive point is that you can enjoy a variety of café menu items to accompany your book.

For example, if you go for a meal, to your surprise, there are menu like this.

Youth plate meal.

Youth plate dish: 1,210 yen.

Look at this plate. Wonderful! They all look colorful and delicious. This colorful, voluminous group of Japanese and Western-style side dishes, plus rice and miso soup.

Rice and miso soup.

From the look of this dish, and from the taste of it, it was as if it reminded me of my youth that day.

Young, blue, and fragile, but sometimes red, sometimes blue, that day when I was actively burning. The memories of the “Blue Spring” are those of the immature, troubled and suffering, still searching for answers, and taking the road of the unknown again and again, hand in hand. I felt as if I remembered those days of light and shadow of youth, or maybe I did not.

And this time, I also ordered coffee as a set drink.

Café Kousen Coffee.

Café Kousen coffee 550 yen.

The coffee was also very good. Light and mellow. It is delicious black, but adding milk and sugar makes it even more mellow and adds a relaxing sweetness to it that makes it very tasty.
By the way, the youth plate meal was available at a discount if ordered with a drink set.

This is not the only menu. You can get this cute parfait, though it is available from 1:00 P.M. onward.

Strawberry and chocolate kitten parfait.

Strawberry and chocolate kitten parfait (1,375 yen).。

It was so cute that it was a shame to eat it. But I enjoyed it very much.

The old private house café “Old books and tea house Kotoba no haoto” is such a relaxing and peaceful place that you can spend hours here. It is the perfect place for those who want to relax and read books in peace and quiet.
