Since moving to Higashi Ward, I have always been curious about this store across from the Otsuki Shokuhinkan every time I go there. However, I lacked the opportunity or courage to enter... But, I became interested after reading reviews from others. It was 11:00 on a Sunday, with no other customers in sight. Upon entering, I was greeted by the sound of chanson music, creating a unique atmosphere reminiscent of the Showa era. A set of art books from the Louvre Museum was stacked at the edge of the store, and taxidermy animals filled the interior. This place is almost too extravagant for Motomachi. This unique atmosphere reminded me of a now-closed store called Rairaiken that was in the Nishi Ward of Hakodate when I used to live there. Although the concept may be different, this store would likely thrive in Motomachi, Hakodate. However, perhaps it's better suited to be in Sapporo's Motomachi, a seemingly mismatched location. The store was established in 1969, and I wonder what this area was like back then. I'm curious to experience that era when there was no subway here. I ordered a bacon and cheese hot sandwich set with tea. The combination of bacon and cheese is a classic. The side of potatoes was a nice touch. The tea seemed to be Darjeeling. But more than the taste, it's all about the atmosphere here. It's rare to find a place with this kind of ambiance even in the city center. Personally, I would like to designate this place, along with Maki-no and Takenoko Shokudo, as the food legacy of Higashi Ward. No, it might be disrespectful to compare this place to those two, haha. Rather than going to the nearby Royal Host, I highly recommend visiting here!

East District Motomachi Area. It takes more than 15 minutes on foot from Motomachi Station on the Toho Line. ◇ Business hours 10:00 to sunset ◇ Irregular holidays ◇ Parking available, cash only The business hours are from 10:00. The exterior has a charming atmosphere. Inside, the spacious interior has depth. An elderly woman came out from inside, but she seems to dislike conversation. The interaction was so indifferent that I thought I was being disliked (sweat). The interior is air-conditioned, with classical music playing, creating a unique retro atmosphere. I found myself cooling off near the water tank. The chairs and tables are a bit worn, but this adds to the charm. Surprisingly, there are various types of coffee, and I ordered the ◆ Straight Coffee Colombian Dark Roast (450 yen). I could slightly smell the aroma. Indeed, the dark roast leads with bitterness, with a hint of sweetness. The richness is just right, and the temperature is slightly high. Overall, I think the quality is good. [Overall] It's not a place with a soothing atmosphere. I think being bad at customer service is fatal. Thank you for the meal!

【Coffee Shop Shizuku】This place exudes a unique atmosphere with a cute bear welcoming you at the entrance. The old-fashioned vibe is palpable, with only two customers (possibly regulars) chatting away. The owner is referred to as "Mama" and the menu is adorned with a large bell for some reason. I decided to try the dessert, "Shiratama Zenzai," which came with a drink - coffee was served first in a stylish cup. It was smooth and easy to drink, with a mild acidity. The dessert included soft shiratama dumplings, half of which were chestnuts with their skins still on, and plenty of red beans. It wasn't overly sweet and quite enjoyable. The previous customer ordered a refill of coffee and engaged in an interesting conversation with the owner about different roasts and origins. In the end, a good atmosphere was provided. If you appreciate unique decorations and old-fashioned coffee shops, this place is worth a visit.

I entered the store and thought, "Hmm, maybe it's not worth it," but when I tried the coffee, it was delicious. This was at "Shizuku" in Sapporo. I came here for my grandson's birthday. On the last day, we spent half a day playing, had ramen with my second daughter and her husband, and on the way back, we decided to stop by if we found something interesting. It's a day when I haven't had coffee, so when I saw the word "coffee," I was drawn to it. Although it was a bit past, I turned back. There was one parking space available. When I entered the store, there was no one at the counter. I heard a voice from the back, and it turned out to be a customer. I sat at a two-person table and waited leisurely. No one came, so the previous customer went to call the staff. They brought the menu and asked, "Is the Mandheling coffee deep?" I said yes, and they mentioned that they use a siphon to brew it so it can be adjusted accordingly. I then asked for the deep Colombian coffee. The coffee had a decent depth of color, but it wasn't too intense. The sweetness was just right, allowing the flavor of the beans to come through. I really like Colombian coffee because they don't roast it too dark. This level of intensity is delicious. I enjoyed the coffee and now it's time to head back. Hopefully, we'll reach home while it's still daylight.

I bought a magazine featuring coffee shops and am planning to visit the ones listed in it one by one. Today, I visited "Coffee-kan Shizuku" in Higashi-ku. It has a nice old-fashioned feel, but I could do without the deer and turtle taxidermy on display. They even had a peacock taxidermy! I ordered the Blend (dark roast) for 450 yen. I enjoy trying the house Blend at coffee shops. They grind the beans after taking the order, which is quite authentic. The sugar and milk containers were also nice. The Blend dark roast had no acidity and a pleasant bitterness, which I really liked. It's a great place with parking available, and it can be a nice hidden gem to visit again.

It's the usual Sunday stroll in the city... On this day, I left the house at 8 o'clock, used the Donichika subway line to get to the "Motomachi" station on the Toho Line, and headed west towards the area along the Kita 20-22jo Higashi 4-5chome. I stumbled upon a café with a unique and intriguing appearance. The café had a vintage feel with stuffed peacocks, sea turtles, deer heads, and various other items on display. I ordered the "Napolitan pasta" which was served with a side of pickles and salad. The pasta was cooked just right, with a mild flavor and a good mix of vegetables. The café also had a charming garden with terrace seating. It's a great place for those looking for a unique and stimulating experience.

A long-established coffee shop on the outskirts of Sapporo. The shop has a parking lot next to it, making it perfect for meetings and appointments. The drink menu was extensive, but the kind and calm female owner never showed a hint of annoyance. I ordered the Spaghetti Napolitan set for 750 yen and an iced coffee for 100 yen. The homemade iced coffee was served with rock ice and was perfect. The Napolitan pasta was elegant with thin al dente noodles, generous portions, lots of ingredients, and a gentle ketchup flavor. I added some self-serve cheese for richness and Tabasco for a spicy kick, and I finished it all in one go. It was delicious. The food menu only consists of Napolitan and omurice, along with hot sandwiches or toast options. The prices are reasonable, so I would like to try other menu items in the future. Thank you for the meal.

I had a delicious cup of regular coffee. The food menu looked very appetizing, so I might want to go back for lunch.

I ordered acerola juice. It seemed like a healthy juice. The atmosphere was nice.

Had a meeting at a café near Qiu Zhu Airport. The husband, who used to run an antique shop, has passed away, and now the wife runs the shop alone. The interior of the shop is surrounded by various antiques from both Japanese and Western styles, making it a delightful space to be in. It's quite rare to see so many authentic taxidermy pieces. The coffee cups were just average, but the sugar and milk containers were beautifully carved silver antiques. The atmosphere was cozy, so I ended up staying for a while after the meeting. Although it's a bit far to visit frequently, I would like to come back when using the airport again. Thank you for the hospitality.

I visited for lunch. There were several customers already there. It's pretty crowded today. I ordered the "Pork Kimchi Set Meal." After eating, I also ordered coffee. The Pork Kimchi has arrived! The amount of rice and side dishes doesn't seem to match... The Pork Kimchi is delicious, but the portion doesn't seem right. I should have ordered a large serving of rice. Since it's a cafe, the coffee is delicious. There are still menu items I haven't tried, so I want to come back again. Thank you for the meal!

I visited for lunch. It's close to my office, so I come here occasionally! When I came after a long time, the menu had changed. I ordered a "Hot Sandwich". It comes with coffee and salad, so it's a good deal ♫ The hot sandwich is delicious!! It has eggs inside, which go well with cheese and ham. It's a dish that makes you want to come back again and again. Thank you for the meal٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

A unique space that can only be experienced here. When you open the door, you step into a classic Western-style mansion interior... Hello again, it's my second time here. It was lunchtime, so this time I went for the crepe set. I was torn between the Ogura toast and the zenzai again, but the crepe was recommended, so I went for that. Let's have it with black tea this time. The crepe is a warm freshly baked dough wrapped around milk ice cream, soaked in orange juice like a demiglace sauce on an omelette rice. It's a classic and interesting combination. The crepe dough is thick and satisfying to eat, and when you mix 2-3 pieces with the ice cream or sauce, it seems like it will be quite filling. The black tea is served in a classic rose-patterned cup and saucer by Noritake, with a nice aroma. However, I felt it was a bit light compared to the crepe, so maybe coffee would have been better. I preferred the coffee here. As I sat down and took a deep breath, I felt comfortable and started to feel a bit drowsy, reaching a state of relaxation. I might become the person who orders zenzai and coffee again. It seems like a place that suits a sunny day, but maybe the afternoon is better for sunny days, and the morning is better for rainy days. It has a somewhat languid and slightly lethargic atmosphere that seems to fit. My beloved healing space. I often encounter interesting customers talking to the owner. Well, that's it for now. I mistakenly arrived in the afternoon due to a scheduling error, so I decided to visit this place with its distinctive atmosphere. However, there were more things displayed and for sale under the awning in front of the door than I had expected, which made me think twice about entering... But when I opened the door, I was greeted by a space that looked like a classic Western mansion, a space that seems to only exist in movie sets. The chairs and covers are in a velvety red, the tables, ceiling, and furniture reveal wooden textures, the walls are adorned with red and gold fabric patterns, and various decorations scattered around exude a classical feel. The warm-toned lighting casts a dull amber glow everywhere. Opening the door felt like entering a different dimension. It's a space that has accumulated a sense of weight and lightness over the years, something like the air woven by the red velvet. Being the first customer of the day, I immersed myself in the moody music playing in the space for a while. By the way, feeling a bit bold, I chose the seat at the far end, where there was a large window that also served as a back door, mixing a mysterious atmosphere with a hint of sunlight and everyday life. Interesting... (laughs) Now, the shiratama zenzai and coffee set for 700 yen. I'll have the blend. It was cold... I was in a hurry and forgot my jacket, it was cold... A beautiful gray-haired madam elegantly prepared it for me. In a black traditional wooden lidded ceramic bowl, there was a straightforward and honest shiratama zenzai, accompanied by salt-pickled perilla seeds on the side. I've never tried it before, but the gentle taste of perilla and salt alone, with the popping texture in my mouth, was quite precious...! The zenzai was also simple, starting with the salty taste, followed by the pure flavors of red beans and sugar, a simple yet unadulterated taste that... soothes the soul. The white mochi balls were soft and bouncy, with a firm and delicious chestnut sweet at the bottom. Yummy. As I absentmindedly devoured it all, the coffee was served. I chose a light roast because most places with such a traditional atmosphere tend to have strong and bold coffee. But before that, the coffee was served in such a lovely setup...!!! I sometimes hesitate to take pictures of places where I sense a certain dedication, but this time, I couldn't help it. Isn't it lovely? Right? It's my kind of style. The cup's...

At the Coffee Shop Tsuburidro, there were taxidermied animals everywhere, and the interior was filled with antique objects. It might be a little scary to see in the dim light at night... The occasional sound of the window was a bit unsettling. The entrance area was also unique. The interior, like the owner, was well-seasoned, with a female owner who seemed to have been there for a long time, and regular customers who seemed like residents of the counter. The tables, sofas, and floors were not exactly clean. The white dumplings were boiling hot with steam rising. They were fully cooked and contained whole chestnuts. Is this a reference to Krillin from Dragon Ball?! The white dumplings were delightfully chewy. It was a delicious dish. The shiso juice had a strong sourness and a distinct shiso flavor, with no added sweetness, allowing the natural taste of shiso to come through directly. Adding gum syrup made it much easier to drink. ☆☆☆ Next Episode Preview ☆☆☆ I'm a little curious about the atmosphere at night, but I don't think I'll come here for a meal.

Located along Kitakosai street, next to Royal Host in the Mika Ho area, is a cafe that may look like a normal house from the outside, but inside is filled with a mix of Japanese and Western decorations that are quite impressive. You can get a sense of this from the photos. You can use the parking lot of Tsutaya (Daiya Shoten). A charming lady welcomes you with a great atmosphere. This time, I chose the iced cocoa (550 yen). It is not pre-made, but carefully made from scratch. Watching the process at the counter made me feel somewhat embarrassed. The drink that came out was in a larger glass than expected, topped with a generous amount of cream. Perhaps because I saw the process of making it, the taste was truly profound. I found myself thinking, "Was iced cocoa always this delicious?" I think the main focus is on coffee, so I would like to try it next time, but I also feel drawn to the cocoa again. The interior of the shop is filled with a nostalgic Showa era vibe, but the only modern touch is in the restroom... a poster of Giants' Sakamoto (laughs). Perhaps it's the lady's favorite? I don't have the courage to ask yet... If you are interested in classic cafes, I recommend visiting this place. However, it feels somewhat different from a traditional cafe. Thank you for the meal♪

When passing by here, I instantly recognized it as a cafe and later searched on Tabelog. The timing was right, so I decided to visit. The parking lot is located at the back of the shop, shared with a bookstore. The interior of the shop is filled with antique decorations, some with price tags. There are impressive antique clocks and a large peacock taxidermy. Moody jazz vocals play in the background. The water is served in a rock glass with stylish ice cubes. The taste is unique, similar to a mineral spring I once tried. I ordered the "Brazilian Coffee" which had a rich flavor with a hint of acidity and sweetness. Overall, the experience was refreshing and the atmosphere was soothing. Thank you for the meal.

On July 20, 2013, I visited a cafe that caught my eye while walking to buy breakfast pastries at a bakery. After buying pastries, I decided to have them for lunch and return to the cafe. The entrance area of the cafe was lined with antique items. Inside, antique items and furniture were displayed. The atmosphere felt like I was in an antique shop. It had an old-fashioned vibe but was well-cleaned and had a sense of cleanliness. I ordered an iced coffee, milkshake, and light meals such as Neapolitan pasta and cheese hot sandwich. - Iced Coffee: Served in a chilled metal cup, giving off a colder vibe than drinking from a glass. Personally, I wanted to have this cup at home. The coffee had low acidity and bitterness, making it easy to drink. - Milkshake: It had a gentle sweetness and a smooth taste. Although it was not a familiar drink to me, I wanted to have it again. - Neapolitan Pasta: It tasted exactly like the one I had as a child, incredibly delicious. It brought back nostalgic memories and surprised me with how it perfectly matched the taste from my past. - Cheese Hot Sandwich: The bread was perfectly toasted, with a classic flavor. It felt safe to eat. The mustard added an adult taste. I would like to visit again during my walks.
