Located in a residential area of Obihiro, Hokkaido, "rapo cafe" has a cute exterior and is very popular among women. The relaxing interior and delicious cafe menu are the result of the owner, Yuka, who has the know-how of having worked in a cafe for eight years and is committed to health and beauty.

The store is right next to "Green Park" in the center of Obihiro

If I cook by myself, I can try to make healthy food, but when I eat out, I can't choose the ingredients and nutritional balance. So I serve dishes and desserts with the intention of making our customers as healthy as possible. says owner Yuka. The rice is Yumepirika from Hokkaido, flour is from Tadanobu Yamamoto Shoten in Tokachi, oil is olive oil, sugar is beet sugar from Hokkaido, eggs are refined eggs from Kusanagi Farm in Tokachi, and other wonderful ingredients are selected mainly from Hokkaido.

And the store is scheduled to be renovated in the fall of 2024. The location and concept of the store will remain the same, but the number of seats will be increased and the kitchen will be enhanced to make the space even more beautiful. In the past, seats were filled only by reservation, and customers who came on the same day had to leave, so they decided to increase the number of seats, saying, "If you have come all this way, we would like you to spend time at the cafe.

Counter seating by the window is also popular.

Also, although they currently do not offer anything other than waffles for takeout, they are planning to gradually increase the variety of takeout items. If you are ever in Obihiro, be sure to visit "rapo cafe," where the food, space, and ingredients are all very satisfying!
