Kichijoji-Kikuya – Soshigaya Okura branch / Since 1984
Find a wide selection of everyday items to small gifts
A general store with strong neighborhood ties
Kikuya‘s main branch is in Kichijoji, but the Soshigaya Okura store has been at this location for almost 40 years. We carry Japanese and Western pottery, lacquerware, incense, kitchen wares, stuffed animals, figurines, and a host of miscellaneous items. We are especially particular about the Japanese tableware and great selection of ceramic products from all over Japan that we carry. Here, you can get professionally made domestic tableware at low prices.
A roadside store that attracts passersby
Currently, only the main store and the Soshigaya Okura store are roadside operations. Many customers stop in during their walks, and I am delighted to welcome elderly and disabled persons into our easily accessible store.
A great selection of seasonal gifts
Seasonal items are replaced every one or two months, and the corner items are adjusted to keep the displays fresh. The shelves and stands in the store are sometimes mistaken for displays stands, but all are for sale. If you have questions, just ask the clerk.
We try to keep the display exciting
There are also character and children’s items
We carry many types of incense sticks

Coffee shop
café Soreiyu / Since 1975
Our famous “Rush Hour” menu is designed to make it easier for people in a rush
Our cold brewed coffee made one drop at a time
Cold brewed coffee is served here. Because it oxidizes slower than the hot brewed type, it has a clean, smooth flavor.
Many popular recipes can only be enjoyed here
We have mostly Western dishes on the menu, such as hamburgers, curry, beef stroganoff, omelets, dorias, gratin, spaghetti and more. Since everything is handmade, our dishes are popular and served only here. We also serve draft beer and snacks, so this is also a great place to enjoy a drink. The specialty of the house is the “Rush Hour” (1,100 yen with coffee or tea) consisting of curry, rice, hamburger, sausage, fried eggs, potatoes, salad, spaghetti, corn, or shredded cabbage on a plate. Please try.
