Komekuma Cafe, located in Susukino-cho, Chuo-ku, Sagamihara-shi, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a truly "dream-like space" where you can enjoy sweets and breads made with rice flour. It has an unquestionable rating of 5 stars. Especially for me, who had temporarily refrained from wheat, this shop, which offers high-quality bread and cakes that do not use any wheat, was a place that healed both my mind and body.
It is truly surprising that while it has the "heavy satisfaction" that is unique to rice flour, it does not make you feel heavy after eating and does not make you feel heavy the next day. It is satisfying to eat, but has a light aftertaste, and has a gentle taste that makes you want to eat it as much as you want. Among them, the "Oreo Cake", which is a reproduction of Oreo with rice flour, is exquisite and a masterpiece that you will want to repeat every time you visit. Seasonal limited menus are also available, so one of the fun things is that you will encounter something new every time you go.
The interior of the store is clean and decorated with many polar bear motifs, making it a very cute space. The attention to detail is apparent in the atmosphere, and just being there will naturally make you smile.
And above all, the greatest charm of this cafe is that you can really feel the owner's love for rice flour. Not only is he particular about the ingredients and manufacturing methods, but every dish is infused with his warm feelings for his customers, and I am truly moved every time I visit.
Komekuma Cafe is gluten-free but does not compromise on flavor, making it a great cafe that we would recommend not only to those with wheat restrictions, but to all sweets lovers.
