    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Higashiyama 1-26-17
    A cosmetics shop located in the “Higashi Chaya District” in Higashiyama, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture which also has a café space. Situated inside a former teahouse designated a Tangible Cultural Property by the city of Kanazawa, the shop sells exclusive cosmetics made with local gold leaf as well as skin care products. Chaya Bijin has worked to create an atmosphere which harnesses the aesthetic senses of the area, including a register counter covered with gold leaf and a “beauty fountain” where customers are free to try a variety of cosmetics. The café space serves beautifying beverages such as vinegar drinks which alleviate fatigue and “bi no cha” beauty tea.

    Chaya Bijin is a pretty little boutique selling cosmetics, face cream, accessories with gold leaf (tiny dust of gold leaf). Worth the visit when you are in Kanazawa.

    This confectionery shop is located in Higashi Chaya District, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The townhouse’s distinctive white walls and lattice door are unmistakable. The shop specializes in the Japanese “Mitsugashi” sweet, which is made by vegetables soaked in water and sugar. Around ten variations of this sweet are consistently on display at the shopfront. The vegetables used as ingredients for the sweets are carefully selected from sources all over the country, but are mainly sourced from Kaga. The chefs let the traditional sweets soak slowly without using any additives, and the exquisite flavor and freshness of the vegetables is immediately apparent.

    Kureha is a teahouse where customers can relax and enjoy matcha from long-standing tea shops and the confections known as Jonamagashi, which are usually available only at fine traditional restaurants or at tea ceremonies. In the same building is a gallery with a collection of original accessories made from Kaga Yuzen dyed fabrics. Customers can try on Kaga Yuzen garments, because the venerable traditional clothing shop Eritora manages Kureha. Putting on a beautifully dyed garment, wandering around to admire the quaint streetscapes, and returning to the shop to enjoy the finest sweets is a fantastic experience. Kureha is located 16 minutes by car from the Kanazawa Higashi Interchange on the Hokuriku Expressway.

    金沢好きの友達のオススメで、ひがし茶屋街に来たらここに行こうと前から決めていました。 一階は加賀友禅のお店で、カフェは一階の一部分と二階になります。 ここは予約がないと買えない吉はしの生上菓子が食べられます。 お部屋もとても雰囲気があり、「和」を満喫できます。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Higashiyama 1-7-6
    A cafe operating out of a Japanese townhouse in the Higashi Chaya District, an area with many tea houses. The table seats by the windows on the second floor offer a sweeping view of the area. The cafe interior is decorated with vivid red iron oxide painted walls with quiet touches of gold. The cafe's tableware was produced by Enishira, a company which carries gold leaf, Kaga mizuhiki cord work, and other traditional craft goods. Particularly popular menu selections include Japanese-style sweets like the cream zenzai red bean soup and the matcha powdered green tea shaved ice.

    町家を利用した和カフェ。2階にありひがし茶屋街のメインを臨む風景が一番の売りなのではないでしょうか。 一階はフルーツ大福のカズナカシマという別店で行列店。狭い間口をふたつに分けて並びます。 連休の狭間の平日でしたがひがし茶屋街自体が人、ひと、ヒト。 波結は二階にテーブル7席だけ。それはそれは並びます。一階は調理場とトイレとレジ。その前に待合席の様なカウンター席もありますが敢えてそこを希望して座る人...

    "A cafe and gallery operating out of an old Japanese home located right next to the ""Higashiyama"" bus stop on the JR Bus. The remodeled cafe building was built in 1897 and was once a lumber shop. The cafe's atmosphere adds modern touches to the simple inner garden and other beautiful features dating back to when the structure was first made. The gallery space is used to exhibit paintings, woodwork, pottery, glasswork, and other art by artists in Ishikawa Prefecture. The cafe also periodically conducts special exhibitions. In the cafe area, you can enjoy coffee, matcha powdered green tea, and handmade cake."

    "A tea shop which sells Kaga teas. A semi-branch shop supported by the long-standing Kanbayashi Shunsho Honten tea shop in Kyoto, the current owner is the shop's third generation. The shop's most popular product is its Kaga bocha twig tea, a style of tea created in Kaga in the Meiji period. Just the stems of karigane first-grade tea are carefully prepared to create a luxurious tea. The shop also makes ""wa-kocha"" Japanese-style Western black tea using Japanese-grown tea leaves. The shop's high class tea leaves are characterized by a uniquely sweet fragrance, a result of being grown amidst the lush, natural environment of Noto. The shop has a cafe space where you can drink fresh-brewed Kaga bocha and wa-kocha."

    お茶を購入する目的でお店を探してウロウロ。蒸し暑くてだらだら歩いているとお店発見。なんと、アイスクリームやお抹茶を頂けるテーブル席が2つありました。早速休憩して注文しました。アイスクリームも美味しいし安い!お抹茶にあう夏場バージョンの羊羹も美味しく頂きました。旅の途中、お店の方と少しお話できたのも良い思い出となりました。またお伺いしますね。

    赤い格子の花街だったひがし茶屋街。めっちゃ人込みでした。センスのよさそうなお店に入ると伝統工芸品を扱うギャラリーになってました。お茶屋の造りをそのままで、畳の上に金箔工芸品や、九谷焼とか飾ってはって、荷物当たったら大変やから、入り口で預けな入れません。でも、外は混んでるのに、中は静かでゆっくり見れるし、めっちゃ穴場でいいとこ見つけたわ-

    夏の暑い日の昼前に東山茶屋街へ行った時、通りの突き当りにある不室茶屋で一服しました。冷房の効いた座敷で、名代の雑煮と冷やし生麩汁粉を食べました。どちらも生麩が効いていて、美味しく頂きました。

    2月の三連休最終日。雲ひとつないお天気の日はこの日だけ。 観光名所「ひがし茶屋街」のメインストリートには観光客がたくさん。 どこも人で溢れかえっていたので、茶屋街外れにあるお店へ。 なかは落ち着きのあるお座敷があって、身体に優しい甘味とお飲み物をいただくことができました。 次回の金沢旅行の際にも、また立ち寄りたい場所です。

Ishikawa Areas

around-area-map

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
