I just checked out a coffee shop that seems to be having an apple fair right now. I saw their flyer and decided to visit. There was no parking lot, so I parked in a back alley and walked over. It turned out to be a coffee shop, not a bakery, but they had a lot of different types of bread on display. I tried the Asahikawa apple croissant for 248 yen. Honestly, I couldn't really taste the apple, it was mostly just a regular croissant. I guess I had too high expectations since it was my first time trying apple-filled bread. Still, it was nice to try out a new place. The coffee jelly and coffee jelly sundae also looked delicious. Thank you for the meal!

June 2021, there are only 2 reviews. It ties with February 2021 as the lowest record. So, even if you ask me, "So what?" I don't know what to say... (￣▽￣;) Anyway, this review is about "Kokonotsuya." It's a revisit. Due to a traffic accident, I had to wait a long time at the orthopedic clinic I'm visiting, so I decided to have coffee here while waiting. Actually, during this time, I felt unwell after drinking coffee. I felt kind of dizzy (~_~;) It's strange because I'm completely fine now, but anyway (laughs). Because of that, I considered switching to black tea instead of coffee. But since I had visited a coffee shop, I decided to go for coffee anyway. I ordered the Daisetsuzan Blend for 440 yen. It's a blend that has a good balance of bitterness, acidity, and richness, very easy to drink, giving a typical "blend" feel. In the past, this average taste wouldn't have satisfied me, but after taking a break from coffee for a while, it tasted really delicious to me. It's quite nice to drink coffee at a place like this during the day, giving a sense of a life's moratorium period (*´∀`)♪ As expected, an hour later, I started feeling a bit dizzy. The end.

After lunch, I visited a coffee shop that I had been curious about for a while. I used to pass by it often because of the heavy traffic, but this time I decided to stop by on my way back. I was planning to just buy some coffee beans, but there were seats inside where you could enjoy your coffee. I told them my preferences and ordered the "Premium Fully Ripe Coffee" for 440 yen. Guatemala or Brazil would have been safe choices, but the word "premium" intrigued me. It felt like a taste of paradise? The friendly female staff, who seemed to be the owner, was easy to talk to and skillfully brewed the coffee. It had a light acidity, a hint of sweetness, and a well-rounded, easy-to-drink delicious flavor. I also bought the coffee beans named after the shop, "Mameya No.1 Blend". It was a pleasant experience at this shop... I will definitely go back to buy more beans. Thank you for the meal.

2020.5 "Kokomameya" is located in Suehiro Higashi, Asahikawa City. It is within cycling distance from chappytsum's home. Oops! If I say this, my home location might be revealed. My cycling range is within a radius of 100 km from my home. The shop has a female staff member working alone. Let's train the dog some tricks. How about a "shake" for the dog! (laughs) Today, I felt like trying a blend coffee. Mameya No.1 Blend... According to the shop, it has a "harmonious balance of bitterness and acidity." When I tried it, I did feel the bitterness and acidity, but the acidity seemed more prominent. It was an easy-to-drink coffee.

On a holiday, I bought "Mameya No.1 Blend" coffee beans for 510 yen per 100g. However, on a Saturday afternoon, an emergency situation arose - I ran out of coffee beans! Without alcohol and caffeine, I can't survive (laughs). I had to go to "Kokonomameya" immediately, but my usual Ion store was closed due to the situation. Finally, I visited the main store for the first time. The building was surprisingly small, with the store on the right side and the roasting workshop on the left. The second floor turned out to be apartments (surprising). When I opened the door to the store, no one was there. I called out for coffee beans, and a staff member quickly appeared. Due to the possibility of temporary closure, I purchased 200g instead of my usual amount. Oh, there's a café in the back. I wanted to have a cup of coffee there, but for now, I had to hold back my desires. With a heavy heart, I left, looking forward to enjoying freshly brewed coffee next time.

You know, Asahikawa is not cheap! I'm alone and just ran out of coffee beans. I searched for "Kokaenya" and remembered that my wife mentioned this place. Two women parked their cars at the same time, is that a coincidence? I parked my car and got out before the two women, but I waited for them to enter the shop first. They went into the cafe area. I chose the "Tora Ja" coffee beans, which cost 670 yen. I had to cut something from my list because I might run out of money. I decided to skip the cake shop as I've been trying to avoid eating cake lately. When I got home, my nephew, his wife, and their child were there to visit. My nephew is smart, attending the best university in Hokkaido. I ground the coffee beans, but accidentally mixed the first and second grind. My nephew asked for coffee, so I made three cups. It took a while, but the coffee turned out delicious. The beans were roasted to a medium level, giving a nice flavor. I think this level of roasting brings out the best in the beans.
