I went to Nishino, Nishi-ku. It's Samurai Coffee. The location is easy to find, but the traffic flow is fast so it's easy to miss. Please be careful. I actually passed by it as well. This shop used to be called Kissaten Rio, then KIHO Coffee, and now it's Samurai Coffee. The owner told me that the same person has been running all three shops. Finally, they have become independent with Samurai Coffee. Congratulations. Also, they have no connection with the popular Samurai Pudding or Samurai Senbei you see around lately. There is no affiliation or capital tie-up at all. So even if you come here, they don't sell pudding or senbei, please be aware of that. I parked my car and went inside immediately. As soon as you enter, there is a booth selling coffee beans. They are sold in 100-gram units. Samurai Blend for 500 yen, Mild Blend for 450 yen, Santos for 450 yen, Kilimanjaro for 550 yen, Mandheling for 600 yen, Mocha for 500 yen, Toraja for 650 yen, Kenya for 650 yen, Honduras for 450 yen, Golden Mandheling for 750 yen, and also Colombia and Guatemala (each for 500 yen). In terms of their own roasting, it's an average price, or maybe even a bit of a deal. I was guided to a counter seat. It's a spacious seat. I ordered the Samurai Blend (500 yen), which is at the top of the menu and is the blend named after the shop, so you can't go wrong with it. It was a blend that perfectly balanced being easy to drink and having a solid flavor. Simply delicious. What caught my attention was the roll cake. Yurine's White Roll (set for 780 yen) has a moist dough and the cream is pure white. According to the menu, it is inspired by the snow in Hokkaido. The cream contains condensed milk and lily root. It's rich but not too sweet, and it's delicious. It was a set with a drink (Samurai Blend or iced coffee) for 780 yen. It seems to be 350 yen for the roll cake alone. Smoking is allowed in all seats. I enjoyed it deliciously again this time. Thank you very much.
