— A 74-year-old dried-food shop, now a see-touch-taste cafe

The signature menu uses a wide variety of dried foods (kanbutsu) sourced from the attached "Mamesaya" shop (founded 74 years ago). Kanbutsu refers to ingredients such as beans, dried shiitake mushrooms, kiriboshi daikon (sliced dried daikon), hijiki seaweed, nori, kanpyo (dried gourd strips), and whitebait - foods that have supported Japan's preservation food culture for centuries but are less common in modern home cooking. At mamesaya, this is offered as an experiential cafe where you can see, touch, and taste dried foods, sharing their appeal with younger generations. The menu includes set meals with dried foods, dried-food salads, and dried-food sweets, with seasonal changes. Average spend is around 1,000 to 1,999 yen - approachable. The bright space, filled with dried flowers on the ceilings and walls, makes a beautiful match of dried flowers, dried foods, and a "dried" concept. Located in the quiet residential area near Kamimachi Station (上町駅) on the Setagaya Line, it is loved by locals, dried food fans, and lifestyle-minded women.

“A Sunny Healing Cafe That Untangles Heart and Body”

Visited "mamesaya" in Setagaya. Near the Setagaya Boroichi venue, I stopped by for a break. Perhaps because of Boroichi, there was a slight wait, but from the phone inquiry to the in-store guidance, the polite and consistent service made me feel warm before I even arrived. The moment I stepped inside, many dried flowers decorating the ceiling and walls greeted me. The large windows let in plenty of bright sunlight — just being there made me feel positive. It's truly a wonderful space. The interior is cozy, so it might be a little hard to enter with a stroller, but that adds to its hideaway comfort. This time I had the gluten-free "green cheesecake." It uses body-friendly ingredients like yokuinin (job's tears), hatomugi, and yomogi — one bite reveals a faintly refreshing green aroma. Not only good for the body, but I could fully enjoy its deliciousness as a cheesecake. The "black sesame cafe latte" I ordered with it was loaded with black sesame! The fragrance and gentle sweetness melted into my heart. The menu has many unusual creative items rarely seen elsewhere — I'm already excited about what to order next. The lunch menu looked delicious too! I definitely want to come back to be healed again.
