Hiromi Cake In Roma

A very cute and welcoming Japanese pastry shop where you can enjoy a unique breakfast or a quick lunch. A small gazebo in front of the shop allows you to eat both indoors and outdoors. The menu features traditional Japanese sweets as well as savory dishes like onigiri, uramaki, rice, and ramen. The desserts are homemade, and the flavors of the ingredients tell you they're fresh and made with love and dedication. The (presumably) owner was truly lovely, helpful, and very kind. She gave me some tips for my decision to try the Genmaicha, as its bitter taste might not be for everyone. The Roll Cake with matcha and white chocolate was delicious and soft, a true delight. Hiromi with umeshu, raspberry, and cocoa biscuits was very creamy yet delicate. The Umeshu Spritz was a really nice new thing to try, and much appreciated. Genmaicha is fresh and unique, with a very delicate flavor, and even though it's bitter, I personally still enjoyed it. The story of how the idea for Hiromi Cake came about is beautiful. It touched me. Sometimes people forget that the most beautiful and precious thing is the kindness you can show others, and it would be good to remember that, but unfortunately, not everyone understands this. I'd love to return to try other sweets and even other macha lattes. I'm happy with the wonderful experience I had at this little place. Thank you!

A great experience for a first-time visitor to a place that truly feels like Japan: the desserts are truly varied and wonderfully flavorful, and the teas are equally delicious (especially the macha!). The service is impeccable and courteous, as the Japanese know how. Highly recommended for a poetically delicious afternoon snack.

Hiromi Cake is a wonderful little escape to Japan, situated just a stone's throw away from Basilica Di San Pietro. The curry chicken was juicily bursting with flavour, the rice was nice and sticky. I really appreciated the staff, especially the waiter who radiated warmth and kindness through his proficiency. The best part, however, was the mochi: perfectly chewy and fresh. Just come, thank me later.

The staff is always very kind, the place is delightful and both the sweet and savory dishes are authentic, artisanal and delicious. 😍

Nice shop with a small room for sampling Japanese sweets. At 6 PM on Saturday, it was empty... unable to find a parking spot, we had to opt for takeout. The sweets were tempting, but a bit greasy for my taste. The packaging was beautiful for taking them away, but the price was decidedly high.

Very good food, but the prices were quite high

Very nice, even the streetside stand feels particularly private. I'm sorry to give it only 4 stars, but I have to because the desserts, while good, weren't worth the price. The matcha, however, deserves 5 stars; the mango one is excellent.

I just had the vegan ice 🍨 they serve, where the exciting detail is that the last time I had one was in Kyoto and in Tokyo. It's hard to compare as the way they make ice in Japan is much softer and better. And so are the topping and serving:)

We stopped out of curiosity, being RAMEN lovers. We weren't expecting anything special since it's more of a Japanese sweets thing, but it was a pleasant surprise. Very good and tasty, I would add a little more meat. Then, given the love for melopan, which you can't find anywhere else, we tried that too and it's really delicious 🤤. It's a shame it's smaller than the Japanese original, I could eat it by the kilo. Highly recommended anyway.

The Matcha and mochi were really good! And the staff is super kind 😊
