Great place to relax and caffeinate on a chilly afternoon at the lake. Mellow music and a very good pour over.

Master is really interesting. It's like listening to rakugo.My husband has hot coffee. I ordered a coffee float. Of course the coffee is delicious, but the crunch of the homemade ice cream is irresistible. The master had a playful demeanor, but was a thorough worker.Thank you for the meal. I'll visit you again.

The owner is a bear-like person named Mr. Yoshikawa.The motto is (apparently) the rudest restaurant in Japan.It's fun to hear all kinds of storiesI used to stay there a long time ago, but I wonder if they still do that?

My husband and I were wondering where to go on a rainy day in Lake Shikotsu when I happened to come across this restaurant and entered the store. The inside of the store is quiet and has the warm feel of a log house. The shopkeeper's hat was a bit cute and looked like it could be purchased at the shop. The Vienna coffee I received was really delicious, and the music that was playing was really soothing and relaxing.

The best coffee we had in this area. If you wanna chill a little bit after seeing the lake, visit this place.
