Tokyo Coffee Shop Exploration｜Experience Coffee Omakase in a Traditional Japanese House

Finally checked out the legendary Fuglen Sanguubashi store✨ Hidden in the residential area of Shibuya, this traditional Japanese house-turned-café feels like a secret retreat amidst the bustling city—an absolute gem! The shop is set in an old residential building, and the waiting area at the entrance transforms into a scenic courtyard. Sitting here with a cup of coffee feels like wandering through a Japanese garden🌿. While the brand itself has sparked some controversy, this particular branch is undeniably a favorite! It’s recommended to book in advance via their website or Google (though you can try walking in if it’s not crowded). The 45-minute omakase experience is truly immersive—I opted for the double coffee set: the first brew uses a Kruve sifter to achieve precise grind consistency, while the second, kōkekaffe, embraces an outdoor camping vibe, brewed with portable equipment and paired with Norwegian goat cheese and biscuits for an extra touch of ceremony🔥. The highlight? One-on-one interaction with the barista! You get to watch the brewing process while they explain the aromas and techniques, answering any questions in real-time—it’s like a private coffee masterclass☕️. Even the coffee grounds are recycled, showcasing their commitment to sustainability♻️. Despite arriving 40 minutes late on a rainy day, they were incredibly accommodating. On weekdays, the serene atmosphere is perfect for unwinding. As I left, I made a mental note: I’ll definitely return for another escape! 📍Address: 4-20-10 Yoyogi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo
