Owner’s Favorite Local Restaurants
Around Fujinomori and Sumizome stations, where Shizuhamo is located, there are more than 30 local restaurants loved by the community. Here, we gradually introduce a few places the owner personally visits. We hope this page helps you find a place to enjoy before or after your Shizuhamo experience.
Nagomi Ikeyan
Nagomi Ikeyan is a small izakaya located about a 6-minute walk from Keihan Fujinomori Station. The interior has both table seating and tatami areas, offering a calm and welcoming atmosphere loved by locals.
The menu focuses on seasonal Japanese dishes prepared with care, along with specialties from Miyazaki, the owner’s hometown. It is a quiet place where you can enjoy well-made Japanese food at a reasonable price.
When visiting for the first time, the owner learned that the chef had also studied Urasenke tea ceremony and had experience working with kaiseki cuisine. It was a rare opportunity to meet someone deeply familiar with both tea and cuisine.

Sabō Chikusei
Sabō Chikusei is a quiet tea and sweets shop located right near Keihan Sumizome Station. In a calm Japanese-style setting, you can enjoy matcha and traditional sweets at a relaxed pace.
Just a 2-minute walk from Sumizome Station and about 4 minutes from Shizuhamo, it is an ideal place to enjoy matcha alongside your visit. It is also a good place to rest after walking around Fushimi Inari.
Location
Moulin Sumizome
Moulin is a long-established bakery located about 30 meters east of the ticket gate at Keihan Sumizome Station. A wide variety of freshly baked bread is available, and there is a spacious eat-in area on the second floor.
Open from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM and almost every day of the year, it is a reliable place to rest even when other shops are closed. One of the owner’s favorites is the “matcha almond croissant” shown in the photo. Filled with rich matcha cream, it offers a modern interpretation of matcha flavors. It pairs especially well with cold green tea in summer.
