和 Japanese cafe an-an

和 Japanese cafe an-an an-an is the cafe only you can enjoy handmade Japanese traditional sweets, Mochi, in Brighton. Homemade Japanese lunches and traditional sweets, Wagashi.

(I advice to order Sushi in advance, as it takes longer than 20 mins.) It's run by house wives so opening hours is very limited. Please check opening hours here or on blog before popping in! Phone number is only for opening hours. Please leave a text message in out side of opening hours. Sorry for inconvenience.

Happy Children’s Day! (Kodomo no Hi) 🎏✨

Today we celebrate a very special Japanese tradition. While historically known as Tango no Sekku(端午の節句), today is a day to pray for the health, strength, and happiness of all children.
In Japan, families display samurai armor to symbolise protection and strength. At Cafe an-an, we’re celebrating with Kashiwa-mochi—soft rice cakes wrapped in oak leaves. Since oak trees don’t shed their old leaves until new ones grow, they represent the prosperity of the next generation.
We’ve brought this ancient wish for the future right here to Brighton and Hove.
Come share a sweet moment with us!
