Unique Atmosphere Created by Wa × Coffee – “Bongen Coffee” Becomes a Hot Topic in the Backstreets of Ginza
Store-roasted coffee shop “BONGEN COFFEE” allows you to feel classic Japanese elements such as the shop curtain that is hung outside the entrance and Bonsai poised behind the barista. The shop has a unique appearance that you can’t experience in other shops and serve the best coffees that handles everything from bean selection to roasting, so it has become a hot topic among foreigners. If you’re interested, go and have a look when visiting Ginza.
“BONGEN COFFEE” is a popular coffee shop known for its special brewing coffees from beans that are carefully roasted in their own roastery. Hand-drip coffee, which has been removed as much as possible from beans that don’t have the original taste, is known for its clear and refreshing flavor. In addition, the shop also offers various lattes. Especially recommended is a BONGEN LATTE RICH, which is extracted from twice the normal amount of coffee beans. The latte also recommends to coffee lovers because it allows you to distinctly taste the flavor of the beans while enjoying the mild taste of milk.
Another feature of the store is its Japanese style, which is rare for a coffee shop. At the entrance, there is a noren (a decorative curtain that hangs at the entrance) featuring a printed bonsai of the shop’s logo. The atmosphere is like a traditional Japanese restaurant. Inside the shop, wooden lattice ceilings create a relaxing atmosphere. Quaint bonsai is also displayed behind the counter, so please check it out when you visit. There are many photo-worthy highlights, including the Japanese atmosphere, adorable Kintaro Monaka (bean-jam-filled wafers), and the opportunity to enjoy delicious coffee. Why don’t you take a break while strolling around Ginza?
