By day it is a café filled with warm sunlight; by night it takes on the calm of a bar—another charm of “Kuriya Kurogi” is the different faces it shows depending on the time of day.

Seasonal Shaved Ice
A hallmark of 「Kuriya Kurogi」 is shaved ice lavishly made with seasonal fruits and ingredients. Throughout spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the finest ingredients at their peak are carefully selected and offered in inventive combinations. For example, cherry blossoms and strawberries in spring; mango and peach in summer; chestnut and kabocha squash in autumn; and citrus in winter—savor the flavors of each season. Visually stunning and generously portioned, it’s a luxurious treat that lets you experience the seasons with all five senses.
Wabokado
“Wabokado” is a surprising and delightful creation that elevates avocado into a Japanese-style dessert. Rich, creamy avocado harmonizes beautifully with elegantly sweet Japanese ingredients, creating an original dessert you won’t find elsewhere. It’s nutritious too, making it a great choice for those mindful of beauty and wellness. Discover a new world of flavor born from this unexpected pairing.
Warabi Mochi
Warabi mochi is kneaded to order and served warm, freshly made. Crafted with care by artisans using a generous amount of genuine bracken starch, it boasts a distinctive jiggly texture and a melt-in-your-mouth finish. Enjoy it generously topped with deep-roasted kinako and our special kuromitsu made with brown sugar from Hateruma Island. This jewel of a dessert lets you rediscover the depth of traditional Japanese sweets.
Nighttime Bar Exclusive: Grown-Up Sweets
At night, 「Kuriya Kurogi」 transforms into a serene bar. Here, we serve “grown-up sweets” designed to be enjoyed with drinks. Think parfaits accented with rum or brandy, or wagashi paired with cheese—an elegant world of sweets distinct from the daytime menu. Relax and savor a luxurious evening while taking in the night view of Ueno.
