ABOUTWhat is Kyogen Shuka?

A meeting place for people and ayakashi, the spirits of Japanese folklore, watched over by the Fox and Cat. We call our visitors “Hitodama-sama,” or Spirit Guests. Settle in, chat with our cast and enjoy a little escape from the everyday. New to Japanese themed cafés? You’re welcome here, too.

SHISHA

Shisha & easy conversation.

Settle in with shisha and enjoy the conversation. Tell our team which flavors you like, and ask for help choosing your first set.

CONVERSATION

A chat, a toast, a memory.

Meet our Yokai Maidens: charming kemonomimi girls in kimono-inspired outfits and playful animal-ear accessories.

Enjoy an easygoing conversation, raise a glass, or capture a memory together with a cheki instant photo from our menu.

ATMOSPHERE

A little Kyoto daydream.

Warm lantern light, teal sofas and touches of wisteria purple. We’re creating a relaxed, Japanese-inspired space for an evening that feels a little out of the ordinary.
