— In Sumida Park: hojicha and rice sweets

The signature is the combination of hojicha (Japanese tea made by roasting tea leaves at high temperature) and rice-based wagashi. The signature "Ushi-yaki" (牛やき) is a rice-flour-based baked sweet shaped lovably like a cow, popular for takeout too. Dango, oshiruko, and seasonal Japanese sweets - rice sweets that pair well with hojicha - are also offered. Tea includes sencha, matcha, and genmaicha, letting guests enjoy the world of Japanese tea from many angles. Inside the Phase 2 area of Sumida Park, with a lattice ceiling and wooden counter, the wa-style interior offers an open view of the park's greenery. The parent is the Banana Factory group; this is the 4th shop of the series that colors the food culture around Sumida Park, opened on May 16, 2025.

“A gluten-free café in Sumida Park, blending into nature”

✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼ What I had this time: • Hojicha Latte (rice koji milk) ¥825 • Ushi-yaki Anko ¥418 • Matcha Cheesecake ¥660 • Rice Flour Ushi Sablé ¥385 Total: ¥2,288 ✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼ A new opening from the FACTORY group, which is expanding in the Oshiage area. After the banana sweets specialty and the bagel specialty, this time it's a hojicha specialty! ◆ Hojicha Latte (rice koji milk) The koji flavor comes first, then the hojicha powder. Lighter and easier to drink than regular milk, and it pairs well with lots of sweets. That said, those who don't like the koji taste should opt for regular milk — taste varies. ◆ Ushi-yaki Anko Incredibly chewy dough! Mochi-like, so it pairs perfectly with the anko. Served slightly warm, which is great. Quite filling. ◆ Matcha Cheesecake The matcha's bitterness adds depth — a gently sweet cheesecake. A new shop where even gluten-intolerant me can enjoy various sweets — happy! ♡ Thank you for the meal!
