Chise

Welcome to Chise, a delightful café nestled in the charming area of Sanjo, Kure, Hiroshima. This local gem is not just a café; it’s a slice of nostalgia wrapped in delicious meals and warm hospitality. With a rich history that dates back to the era when dining meant a bit of dressing up, Chise has preserved its old-world charm while evolving into a beloved spot for both locals and travelers alike.

As you step inside, you're greeted by a spacious interior brimming with a retro ambiance that transports you to a different time. The café's layout is inviting, with ample seating that encourages you to linger over your meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Although it accommodates smoking, the charm of the place ensures that the dining experience remains enjoyable for everyone.

The menu at Chise offers a delightful array of dishes that celebrate local flavors and traditional cooking. Diners can indulge in the daily lunch special for just ¥700, featuring comforting options such as the delicious deep-fried scallops and sides that elevate your meal with home-cooked goodness. As one satisfied customer, Yasuko Urayama, noted, the combination of the luscious demi-glace sauce on the omurice and the well-executed adult lunch set is simply "じわじわ美味しい" (deliciously satisfying).

Another favorite among patrons is the B Lunch, which includes a well-crafted soup followed by a crisp and flaky fish fry paired with a savory meat option. One visit, and you might find yourself longing for the tempting flavors of the homemade tartar sauce enveloping the fish, an exceptional highlight of the dining experience.

Aside from the scrumptious food, one of the café’s most appealing characteristics is its accessibility; it’s conveniently located just a 15-minute walk from Kure Station, making it an easy stop for lunch. Plus, with parking available for four cars right next to the café, you can enjoy your meal without worrying about space.

Don't just take our word for it; hear from other happy customers. One visitor raved about the hearty hamburger that is "ふわっとして美味しかった" (fluffily delicious), while another attested to the café's ability to provide a "家庭的" (home-like) dining experience that feels both comforting and satisfying.

Whether you're reminiscing about cherished moments or creating new ones, Chise offers a comforting escape with food that nourishes the soul. The charm, flavor, and friendly service make it a must-visit spot in Kure, where every meal feels like a warm hug from an old friend.
