Inside the kamakura, a Tsugaru Kogin-zashi ornament with a “Kohori” pattern is hung, and when the light of the hand lanterns is added, a space where glittering snow falls. To produce. You can relax in a private space away from your daily life by wearing a hanten with Tsugaru Kogin-zashi.
We offer sweets and drinks associated with rough snow and fresh snow so that you can stay warm and relax in the kamakura. Warm your body from the core with an apple pie filled with a lot of apples in a freshly baked pie dough and an original hot drink of apples that expresses the whiteness of snow.

Kogin designer from Aomori prefecture. He encountered the Tsugaru Kogin-zashi pattern in Hirosaki when he was in high school, and after that he launched “kogin.net” to convey the charm of Tsugaru Kogin-zashi and started his career as a writer. At KAI Tsugaru, the techniques and patterns of Tsugaru Kogin-zashi are also used as guest room interiors. Based on the charm of traditional patterns, the original design that makes full use of unexpected materials and colors attracts interest in Tsugaru Kogin-zashi and makes a strong impression.
