Yuasa: go for the iced coffee here...and somebody tell me what happens at night






Area:  a couple of blocks east of Meitetsu Department store at Nagoya station
Restaurant:  Yuasa Karaku  ゆあさ 嘉楽
Website and Info:  http://karaku39.web.fc2.com/access1.html

Hours:  Lunch 11:30am-2pm, Cafe 1-5:30pm, Dinner 5-10:30pm, Closed Sundays


This is not a regular cafe, but I'm not really sure what kind of place it is.  I came across it during an internet search for a gallery cafe.  They do seem to sell and have Japanese pottery on display, but looking at their website, it looks like there are performances of some sort as well.  There is a second floor so perhaps this is where that takes place.

Anyways, I just came here for coffee a couple times.  It's a nice and quiet, small, but comfortable environment with big, spacious tables.  Both the hot and ice coffee were really quite nice.  The tai-yaki (fish shaped sweet filled with red bean paste) was crispy and not so sweet as it should be.  The iced coffee was wonderful because the ice was not made from water, but coffee itself!  So even though it melted, the warm coffee was not thinned out.  It also came with a dark sugar syrup which gave it a slight toasty flavor.
