Shirakaba

Welcome to Shirakaba, a delightful cafe nestled in the heart of Nagoya's Minami Ward. This charming spot is not just a place to grab coffee; it's an experience designed with a genuine touch of warmth and nostalgia. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Shirakaba invites you to take a step back in time, offering a menu that blends traditional flavors with comfortable vibes.

Start your day right with their distinguished morning set, featuring a hot cup of aromatic blend coffee served with a slice of toast and your choice of butter or jam. At just 400 yen, it’s a cherished deal that brings life to your mornings—the toast is lightly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and the coffee is brewed to perfection, awakening your senses for a brand new day.

For lunch, don’t miss their celebrated ham and egg set, where you’ll find generous portions of juicy ham and perfectly cooked eggs, paired with a refreshing salad. One delighted customer exclaimed, “I was surprised by the greenery on the plate, which added a fresh contrast!” While the dish includes traditional sides like simmered daikon, some patrons recommend asking for fewer greens for a more focused taste experience.

Shirakaba is not just about food; it’s also about the ambiance. The cafe maintains a cozy, home-like atmosphere, reminiscent of the classic Japanese coffee houses. The decor features retro touches—including old school table games that provide a playful element to your visit. You’ll find a welcoming space where it’s perfectly acceptable to linger, enjoy a game, or chat with friends over a smoked treat, all while soaking in the nostalgia of a bygone era.

But don’t take our word for it—reviews from our cherished patrons speak volumes. One client noted, “It’s a very homey place that makes you feel at ease.” Another praised its efficient service, stating, “I ordered quickly, and the food was served in no time, allowing me to bask in the moment.” While those who are not fond of smoke might want to keep that in mind, the distinctively welcoming energy of Shirakaba is hard to resist.

Whether you’re indulging in a hearty lunch or grabbing a quick morning bite, Shirakaba is a gem that offers not just food, but a slice of comfort and tradition in every visit. Make your way here and discover what makes this cafe a beloved spot in Nagoya!
