Yakuzen & Komeko Cafe Yamano Hitsuji

An all-gluten-free yakuzen cafe. They're particular about ingredients, avoid unnecessary additives, and use domestic as much as possible. Daikanyama Station is closer, but I went from Ebisu Station. Climbing a steep slope I'd never manage by bicycle, then the entrance is on a narrow alley facing that street — the shop is in the building at the back. In my case, Google search showed a route I couldn't follow. Lol Counter and table seats, about 15 in total. They opened at 11:30; I entered with a Sunday 12:00 reservation and seats were nearly full. Everyone seemed to be having the shop-recommended and popular sozai (deli) plate, but I figured it'd be too much for me and chose the cake-sale plate. Hard to convey in photos, but this is also a large plate (lol). Greens were quite generous. The cake-sale is hefty, more filling than it looks. Forgot the image, but dessert comes out after too — I was full. The cake-sale has spice but it doesn't assert itself too much — characteristic. The bread had the rice-flour-specific surface crispness, and inside wasn't soggy — deliciously enjoyable. A cute dog seems to call the counter seat home. As the shop name suggests, sheep motifs are throughout the interior. Wood-based interior with warmth. Cash only.
