Houtong — Restaurant in Hirosaki

This cafe has a very vintage feel to it. The service was great and the owner was very kind. I ordered the pumpkin cake set and it was nicely spiced. The flavor may not be for everyone if you like more subtle flavors. The cheesecake that my husband ordered was very tart but had a good cheesecake flavor. The cats are also very cute and friendly!

This place has a very strong tobacco smoke smell but has a small, quiet atmosphere. When I went, they had three friendly, rescue cats who you can pet and feed treats. The food was pretty good-- my friends and I enjoyed it. It's relatively cheap so I don't have many complaints. My friends and I would come again, the only real turn off was the strong tobacco smell. I would highly recommend to cat lovers...

The white cat was so laid back at the corner, then the owner carried her over to us and let us cuddle the cat. Dishes was good. We ordered 2 sets of coffee &...
