Saza Coffee is a well-established, famous cafe founded in 1969 that is more popular than Starbucks and is known as the "strongest cafe in Ibaraki." They have their own farm in Colombia, South America, and you can taste the world's highest quality coffee beans, "Panama Geisha," which the president fell in love with at first sight. It is known as a cafe spot that coffee enthusiasts drool over. At the main store of Saza Coffee, the English garden-style courtyard terrace has a calm atmosphere with antique furnishings and a modern wooden house. But then, in the back of the store, there is a completely different atmosphere, with vibrant African art on display, which is quite chaotic and interesting. The photo shows the store's signature menu item, "Shogun Coffee," and the popular rainbow mille-feuille. "Shogun Coffee" is a coffee that is said to have been loved by Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last Shogun of the Edo Shogunate, and was jointly developed with a direct descendant of Yoshinobu, making it a coffee that is truly related to the "Shogun." Even the container is made of a high-class material reminiscent of the Shogun, giving you a rich feeling (the photo shows a tokkuri type for iced coffee). #tripgourmet #IbarakiPrefecture #stylishcafe #coffeeshop
