About
[TEST DATA - QA profile, not managed by the business] Kitaichi Hall is the café inside Kitaichi Glass Building No. 3, a stone warehouse built in 1891 on Otaru's Sakaimachi street. The hall has no electric lighting: every morning from 9:00 to 9:30 staff hand-light 167 oil lamps one by one, and visitors can watch for free. The signature drink is the Kitaichi special royal milk tea, slowly simmered with Hokkaido milk (780 yen); there are also coffee, cakes, parfaits, soft serve, Otaru beer and Otaru wine. On Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 14:50 a lunch menu is served: seafood rice bowl, herring soba (an Otaru speciality), seafood ramen and more. Live piano on a Steinway, Tuesday to Friday at 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00. Self-service: order and pay at the register first. No reservations. About 80 seats, non-smoking.
