Crystal “mint” spark raves about the Tomato Ginger Curry, a dish that promises not only depth of flavor but also a warmth that perfectly complements the cozy surroundings.
To round off your meal, indulge in their renowned Ancient Wheat Pancakes, made entirely from locally sourced, ancient spelt wheat. As noted by customers like 坂井信之, these pancakes are thick, fluffy, and irresistibly delicious. Each plate arrives beautifully presented, inviting you to enjoy every bite—perfectly accompanied by a glass of their ice coffee that adds a refreshing contrast to the warm sweetness of the dish.
But Raccoya is not just about the culinary delights; it embodies a sense of community and warmth.
