Located in the heart of downtown Mashiko is a small but cozy Italian inspired cafe called Hottorumu (Hotroom) Keyaki. The place is very accessible because of its visibility at the roadside and near many pottery galleries.

Their specialty is pizza and pasta.They also serve seasonal delicacies such as strawberry roll cake in winter and kakigori (shaved ice) during summer. They are open for lunch from 11:00 to 17:30 PM. They have tables and chairs outside in front of the establishment, which is ideal for spring or autumn season.
