Café DIOR by Anne-Sophie Pic Kansai International Airport — Restaurant in Tajiri

The hospitality and flexibility of the staff were superb and the 2 cakes and Genmai tonka bean tea were a great match to relax just even for a bit before my 12hour flight.

I was on transfer at KIX and only had 1.5 hours between the flights but I really wanted to visit so I took the chance. At first I asked if take away was an option but it was not offered, but they were super quick to serve everything very neatly and was also checking on my flight as well while I enjoyed the cake and tea.

The cake had a natural sweetness, so it doesn’t leave your stomach heavy. Very light textured and had a layered complex taste of fruits and mousse. I think it’s nice to have the cake, tea/coffee and find where the inspiration of the design came from gazing at their products in the store. Many thanks to the cafe staff to accommodating my hectic...

Mixed feelings here. Cakes were amazing - both with the fashion theme and the taste. Service is impeccable. The Chemex coffee was as great as they come... But...

Who makes a HUGE teapot of gyokuro !? The very meaning of the name, 玉露, "jade dew" speaks of the precious value of every drop of which they are a few. Usually made with small amount of water, often 1:1 to the tea leaves. In small teapots such as shiboridashi - again to "squeeze out every drop". This was a shocking disappointment on the background of everything else. The price (equal to the other teas) was already a hint. And the choice of the tea - not the top line of Jugetsudo should have asked me to change to coffee. But I wanted so much to be treated for a last great cup of gyokuro before boarding.

Stick to the coffee drinks, please!

(advice both to the customers...

Café Dior by Anne-Sophie Pic is a chic little gem inside Kansai Airport. It’s genuinely very nice, but what makes it special is the whimsical, dreamlike quality of the space—it feels playful and slightly surreal, rather than just earnestly luxurious. The café is “by” Anne-Sophie Pic, the French chef with more Michelin stars than any other woman in the world, and her influence is clear in the thoughtful menu.

I had a fragrant oolong tea served in Dior porcelain, a refreshing iced chocolate, and a slice of their signature cake—light and moist, soaked in a delicious citrus syrup, with delightful details like a Dior-patterned chocolate shard and a white chocolate button. It’s chic, calming, and truly fun—a wonderful way to spend time...
