About this place
Strawberry milk balances sweetness with the fruit’s tartness, while sweet potato with house-made caramel pairs the potato’s gentle sweetness with a faintly bitter finish. At anamo cafe, choosing between these contrasting flavours is part of the pleasure. One diner who tried the strawberry milk said the ice had a pleasantly granular texture and made for a filling dessert. Another found the sweet potato memorable for its mild, fluffy sweetness rather than a dense, sticky richness. If you’re ordering kakigori after a meal, it’s worth bearing the generous portions in mind.
Fruit and nut combinations offer more distinctive choices. A diner who tried the avocado walnut milk noted the avocado’s mellow flavour and the texture of the walnuts. The menu also includes persimmon yoghurt and fig mascarpone, which is available in limited quantities. Someone who ordered the fig mascarpone enjoyed the contrast between the fruit’s little seeds and the cream. Diners have also reported that kakigori comes with warm tea, a welcome pause between spoonfuls of the cold dessert.
Beyond kakigori, the menu includes avocado and walnut cheesecake, a changing cake selection and cafe meals such as omurice. Coffee ranges from a fruity light roast to a robust dark roast, so there are options to pair with something sweet. The wood-grain interior has a retro feel, though visitors report that seating is limited. Some also say the cafe is run by a single owner, and waits can be longer during busy periods. Allow extra time and choose the flavour that appeals to you.
