Besides this Kannon shop and cheesecake, there are other famous ones. It's also hidden in the name of the shop ... Yes, Kannon-sama. Not only is it in the name, but the Motomachi main store has "Kannon-sama" . A cafe with Kannon-sama? I'm curious ...!

◆ A black building that suddenly appears in the shopping district

The main store is located in the Motomachi shopping district in Kobe. There are major shops such as Daimaru and UNIQLO on the east side, but the more you go west, the more you can feel the local atmosphere. Nankinmachi is also nearby, so it's interesting to have an exotic shop.

As you walk through the shopping street while looking at the variety of shops, you will suddenly see a black square building in front of you. This is the Kannonya Motomachi main store. The flag of Denmark is a landmark.

The contrast between the plants and accessories in the storefront and the black of the building shines. On the blackboard, there was a menu written on it, and I was surprised that I knew only cheesecake. But they all look delicious ...!

Once inside, the first floor is a To go counter and the basement is a cafe space for eat-in, and it seems that you go down the stairs on your left to enter the cafe. When I try to go down ... About 10 people are lined up along the stairs. It was around 16:00 on Saturday, but it seems that it overlapped with a slightly late cafe time.

However, the waiting time was short for the number of people, and after about 15 minutes, I was guided to my seat.

◆ Kannon-sama here and there in the store!

The inside of the store is quite dark. The green and red lights are shining suspiciously, and it's antique or exotic ... It's a strange atmosphere.

And when I looked around the store, I was there, Kannon-sama! There are various shapes around the store.

Immediately after entering, you will see a large Kannon statue on your left. On the wall inside the store, there are paintings drawn by Kannon and thankful words. When I suddenly raise my eyes, I meet various Kannon-sama. ... No, Kannon-sama's eyes aren't open, so I'm sure it's because of my mind.

The previous shopkeeper worshiped Kannon, and the name of the shop was changed to "Kannonya" so that customers would be happy.

◆ Enjoy freshly baked cheesecake while being watched by Kannon

I was completely overwhelmed by Kannon, but I will never forget to eat it. The famous Danish cheesecake is about 10 cm in diameter. Freshly baked cheese is dripping on the side. It's more like a dish or another candy than a cheesecake.

The scent of freshly baked cheese is irresistible

When you insert the knife, the cheese will follow the knife and connect with it.

This melty cheese is a raw cheese imported directly from Denmark, but it is rich anyway. It tastes like cheese. It's salty but not persistent and goes well with the slightly sweet sponge under the cheese. It's irresistible for cheese lovers!

This Danish cheesecake, which has a completely different taste from the usual cheesecake you often see, is a must-try.

Kannonya is famous for cheesecake, but it also has a wide selection of menus that make use of Danish cheese, such as cheese fondue and pizza. As well as home-roasted coffee and tea, there is plenty of wine, so you can enjoy lunch and diner "in the solemn air"!
Fondue is also popular
