Welcome to Shipyard Cafe Wakacho, a charming cafe nestled at the edge of the vibrant Seto Inland Sea in Kure, Hiroshima. With its picturesque location and cozy atmosphere, this spot is perfect for those looking to relax and indulge in some delightful culinary offerings.

The cafe specializes in a menu that emphasizes fresh, local ingredients. One of the standout offerings is the Soup Toast (¥800), which features a nourishing blend of collagen-rich soup paired with generously portioned vegetables. Served with toast topped with a zesty lemon card, it invites you to enjoy the invigorating aroma of lemons wafting through the air. Customers rave about the unique combination of flavors that elevate this dish, making it a must-try during your visit.

But the appeal of Shipyard Cafe Wakacho extends beyond its menu. A delightful review by a customer named ラムママ captures the essence of the cafe, highlighting the stunning seaside view that creates a perfect backdrop for a meal. For those with furry companions, the cafe allows dogs to accompany you on the terrace, adding an extra touch of warmth to your dining experience.

Moreover, visitors can experience moments of culinary bliss with seasonal delights such as lemon zenzai, a traditional sweet dish that marries the unexpected yet harmonious flavors of lemon and the unique texture of zenzai. Another crowd-pleaser is the Honey Toast, beautifully adorned with cinnamon, ice cream, and a rich chocolate sauce, ensuring a satisfying end to your meal.

The ambiance at Shipyard Cafe Wakacho transforms an ordinary meal into a treasured memory. As you enjoy your food, you can soak in breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea, visible from the second floor, which is a frequent recommendation among patrons. One visitor, ヤマミヨ, described the cafe as a piece of cinematic magic, referencing its appearance in the film "Drive My Car," which only adds to its allure.

While visiting, keep in mind that parking can be a bit of an adventure, as there’s no dedicated parking lot on-site. However, nearby御手洗駐車場 offers free parking, just a short six-minute stroll to the cafe. It’s a chance to explore the quaint streets of Kure before slowing down to enjoy your meal.

Overall, Shipyard Cafe Wakacho is not just a place to eat; it’s a destination that captures the essence of Japanese culinary tradition with a modern twist.

海に面しているので最高のロケーションでした。犬を連れていたので縁側で食べさせてもらいました。犬がいなければ2階席でも食べれてもっと眺めが良かったんだろうな〜。 レモンのぜんざいがなんとも美味しくて、レモンとぜんざいってこんなにあうんだとびっくりしました。ほうじ茶もついてて、癒されました。 ハニートーストもシナモンがかかっててアイスとトーストとチョコソースがかかって美味しかったです。

映画「ドライブ・マイカー」のロケ地にあるカフェ。2階の窓からの景色がサイコー! 古民家の空間から切り取られたような瀬戸内海はぜひ見ていただきたいです。 忘れられないカフェの一つになりました。

日曜の16時頃に訪問。2024.08.18 ・専用駐車場は無い為、少し手間の「御手洗駐車場(無料)」に停めて街並みを散策しながらお店へ向かいました。(徒歩6分) ・クレジットカード・PayPay・現金 OK 店内入口のセルフレジで会計して、席に着きます。 昔ながらの建物を利用したカフェで、空調はありませんでしたが、8月にもかかわらず店内は思ったほど暑くなかったです。 2階の席がおすすめ!良い眺め! ・大長みかんクリームソーダ 650円 ・大長レモンクリームソーダ 650円 どちらも美味しかったです。 この時はお客さんは私たちだけでした。
