CARA Kobo

Set in Higashi-Nippori, CARA工房 is a small takeout shop offering gluten-free chiffon cakes and baked treats made with rice flour. The signature chiffon cakes highlight the gentle, fluffy lightness characteristic of rice flour, available in ingredient-focused varieties such as almond.

Alongside the chiffon cakes, the selection extends to other baked items, including rice-flour canelés and chiffon cake rusks. The twice-baked chiffon rusks offer a crisp, airy crunch that pairs naturally with everyday tea. Because the counter is geared entirely for takeout, stopping by to pick up an afternoon snack or a box of sweets makes an easy addition to a neighborhood walk.
