About this place
For a memorable snack at Karin, one visitor’s order offers a useful clue: roasted black tea with warabi mochi made with sixteen-grain rice. They described the mochi as springy, with the tea’s fragrance and the grains’ texture adding interest. Mulberry-leaf tea was their choice alongside it; they found it refreshing and said it was served generously in a Nambu iron teapot.
The snack menu also includes zeppolini, inspired by a Neapolitan speciality. Made by adding green laver to pizza dough and frying it, they are described as crisp on the outside and chewy within. They suit a light bite or an extra dish with a meal, and are available to take away.
For a drink, consider strawberry milk or strawberry soda made with house-made strawberry syrup. There is also a wide selection of tea. The menu notes that black tea is served in a Nambu iron teapot, with enough for about two cups, making it a fitting companion for a relaxed treat. Karin opens on Mondays and Saturdays from 12 to 18. Payment is cash only, so check the details before setting out.
