Soshin is a charming cafe located in the historical Higashi Chaya district in Kanazawa.

Stop at the cafe when you come to those lovely traditional streets.

The coffee is prepared freshly by the cup.

The matcha green tea toast is a savory and sweet snack.

Wonderful ham and cheese toast sandwiches

The upstairs cafe space is cozy and open.

Lunch sets include a tasty pizza.

Happy to report that Soshin in still there in April 2023. We skipped the ice cream with a golden ribbon that everybody else was queuing up for and stopped in at Soshin down the block for the most marvelous parfaits ever. Cute cafe, nice people, a real treat in many ways.
