01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
At Rihou, coffee comes in three styles: soft, rich and bitter. One visitor chose the rich blend and described it as well balanced and clean-tasting. If you’re pairing coffee with something sweet, choosing your preferred style is part of the pleasure.
野たまご pudding and sweet-potato rare cheesecake stand out among the desserts. A diner said the pudding had a pronounced egg flavour and sweetness, and enjoyed it with coffee or milk tea. The sweet-potato rare cheesecake, meanwhile, was described as having a texture more like a Japanese sweet than a cake; one visitor paired it with coffee. Would you rather have the pudding’s rich egg flavour or the cake’s Japanese-sweet-like texture? Either could make a quiet break centred on dessert.
For something savoury, consider the pizza toast or a hot sandwich. One diner called the pizza toast the best they had ever eaten, making it an option when you want a light meal as well as a sweet treat.
Visitors have also praised the wood-focused interior and subdued music, saying they were able to spend time in peace and quiet. The café offers a wide selection of teas, too, so there’s plenty to consider beyond coffee.
