The ambiance reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, with its wooden tables and chairs to small desks and cabinets scattered with dwarf woodworks to its menu that has been hand made from scrapbook, stickers, pictures and scribbles which made me appreciate the time and effort it took to build the concept and the store up.
From the Vegetable Curry which I must say the curry taste was subtle and not overpowering, a clear definition of precision in the Japanese cuisine. And to my favorite Takoyaki Egg Mayo Teriyaki Sauce, a balance of salt and sweet and tangy made my mouth water. They also made us try the Hamburger Steak( Loco Moco) and the Pork Yakisoba. Each of the presented dish to us gave their own characteristic taste to our buds aside from the fact that owner made personalized artwork on the side of the plate for visual presentation which makes it difficult to eat the dish. It's all super delish!
Pairing the scrumptious meals with their best selling Roasted Green Tea with Maccha and Melon Soda Float and for dessert are Ice Shaved Strawberry topped with ice cream and the simple looking yet mind blowing Parfait made me forget that bubble tea ever existed.
Aside from food and drinks, they have also made a part of the Kissaten into a gift shop that features a wide array of ornaments, souvenirs, anime collectibles, books, magazines, dolls, origami paper, parasols, handmade mobile phone accessories, bookmarks, to name a few of the itsy bitsy stuff that you can purchase from them. A perfect gift for yourself, family and friends. They’ve designed the shop in a way that visitors would have a birds eye view of what its like to be in Japan.
A MUST recommended place! Will surely come back over and over again.. :)

This has got to be the most interesting restaurant in the city! Handmade menus were absolutely beautiful and unique, can't wait to peruse a different one next time. The food was all very unique, but also really approachable and delicious to a more typical Canadian palate.
The amethyst roll had some new touches I had never tried before like tiny wedges of orange that added a quick burst of flavour to the sushi roll that gave way to the other flavours and the whole thing seemed to change taste three or four times before you finished each bite. The cream corn and bacon soup was very flavourful but not too rich or too creamy, so nice. I think Margaret had a donburi chicken and rice bowl, but whatever it was even the rice had its own delicious flavour to it. I had the curry chicken Udon noodle bowl and even though was already pretty much full at that point it tasted so good ai had to try and finish it all. (I failed.) I almost forgot, the gyoza dumplings were fantastic, made with care and a very carefully chosen flavour profile, not at all like the factory produced bagged monstrosities that we usually get in Canada when ordering gyoza. Even the prices were very reasonable, three of had appetizers and entrees and some heated Sake for under $80. Service was delightful, friendly, and helpful too, so great.
This is definitely one of Winnipeg's most exciting restaurants, I am so glad I lucked into this rare gem!
This little place is actually like a Japanese cafe! On top of that there's the incredible quality of food, great atmosphere, good service, quite a surprising find in Winnipeg which is like in the smack dab centre of Canada furthest away from the west coast. You'd think something like Dwarf would exist in Vancouver but NOPE it's in Winnipeg (lol). P.S. Come on a TUESDAY for the best experience ;)
