What a lovely serene spot in Hirosaki! The espresso is excellent - I recommend the ginger americano, the ginger and lovely rich coffee blends perfectly together into a lovely warming drink. Latte was also great!

The vibes of this coffee shop are perfect. We were very lucky to get to visit this place on our visit. We had several drinks and all were absolutely delicious. We especially enjoyed the house special, which was americano with ginger syrup.

If they ever made a movie about running the coziest cafe in the world this cafe would be it. If it was possible to give more stars to atmosphere I would. I’m absolutely blown away by how cozy it was. I came to Aomori to visit friends and snowboard but if I ever come to Aomori again, this cafe will be one of the reasons why
