Kobe Nishimura Coffee Shop

I will introduce a long-established retro coffee shop in Kobe.
That's Kobe Nishimura Coffee Shop.
It is Kobe that imported coffee for the first time in Japan and provided coffee at a coffee shop, and Kobe has a long coffee history in Japan.
Although Nishimura Coffee shop has some shops in Kobe, this is a picture of a store in Kitanozaka in Kobe.

It is a coffee shop opened in 1974 as Japan 's first membership cafe. It was opened to the public in the period of the 1995 Hanshin earthquake. Architecture of red brick tangled with ivy is a motif of Shanghai's British style western style, and now it is a landmark of Kitanozaka. It is a very popular coffee shop that you can spend an elegant coffee time surrounded by antiques.

I ordered a shop recommended "Nishimura Original Blend Coffee". It seems that 6 kinds of coffee beans are blended. It seems that water is used the famous " Miya Water ". Moderate hard water seems to make coffee a mellow taste.

I introduce a ramen shop called "Rokurinsha".
