About 2 and a half months since my last visit. This time, I got off at Sakurashinmachi Station on my way home from work, not for any particular reason but to visit this place. I arrived at the shop about an hour earlier than last time, but the days were noticeably shorter and it was raining heavily, making the dimly lit interior even darker than before. The number of customers was about the same as last time, but unlike last time, the right side from the entrance was empty, so I placed my belongings in the middle of the empty right side table and headed to the counter. Last time, I only ordered coffee, but this time I wanted to try the sweets at this shop, so I first looked at the dessert menu. Among the 11 options, I chose the matcha and white kidney bean tiramisu for 800 yen (tax included). It was 100 yen off when ordered as a set with a drink. Next, the drink. I was planning to go for a single origin straight coffee again, but I wanted something different from the Ethiopian TadeGG Natural I had last time, so I consulted with the female staff member and decided to go for the Indonesia Woman Isaac Orangutan Coffee with Aeropress for 690 yen (tax included). For reference, when I asked why the pour-over was significantly more expensive than the Aeropress, I was told that the pour-over is double the amount of coffee compared to the Aeropress. However, the brewing method and taste of pour-over and Aeropress are different, so strictly speaking, one pour-over may not be equivalent to two Aeropress. I forgot to ask about this, so I will definitely inquire about it on my next visit. After paying at the counter, I returned to my seat and the coffee arrived in about 7 minutes, followed by the dessert 2 minutes later. The Indonesia Woman Isaac coffee had a similar acidity to the Ethiopian TadeGG Natural I had last time, but with a stronger body. The tiramisu with matcha and white kidney bean was a delightful fusion of Japanese and Western flavors, with white kidney beans adding a nice touch to the fluffy tiramisu base, complemented by matcha powder, lemon oil, and small edible white flower buds. The taste and texture were excellent, and the portion size was generous for 800 yen. I enjoyed my time savoring the dessert while waiting for the rain to stop. This visit made me realize that not only the coffee but also the quality of the sweets is high at this place.

First visit. Heard it's a popular shop. I love the image of local couples stopping by for lunch or coffee. Had homemade pudding and original coffee for dessert. The interior was dark, which was a bit surprising. The table we were seated at near the entrance wall was fine, but there was a display shelf for cups and such next to it, which made it a bit unsettling with people waiting and looking at them. I'd like to come back at a different time.

After lunch, I went to Ogawa Coffee for the first time in a while. It was less crowded than before, with only a 3-group wait, about 5 minutes. It's a shame that you have to order before sitting down, as I couldn't really take my time to look at the menu. I ended up getting my usual blend coffee and a custard pudding. Today's special was Shine Muscat. The generous amount of coffee was delightful. I'll definitely come back again! Thank you for the meal!

I visited in the evening around 4 pm. It was crowded, but I was able to be seated at the counter. This is the flagship store of Ogawa Coffee in Kyoto. I ordered Kenyan coffee and a pound cake with dried fruits. I chose to have it brewed with an AeroPress. They explained the brewing process in front of me, which was enjoyable. The coffee had a unique acidity that was very delicious, and it was clear they put a lot of effort into making it. The cake also had a subtle flavor from the dried fruits and was very tasty. It was a great place to enjoy coffee.

I went to a night cafe after a long time. I got unexpectedly drunk after drinking a martini, but it was very, very delicious. I also had a taste of the coffee sundae, which was delicious without any complaints. They explained everything very carefully, and the menu changes depending on the time of day, so I definitely want to go back again.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with natural light, and the food is stylish and delicious. However, the portion size may be a bit small for a full meal, but it's perfect for enjoying at a cafe. I would like to visit again.

OGAWACOFFE, located just outside of Sakurashinmachi Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line. I have been getting coffee to go in the mornings from here, but today I had lunch at the shop for the first time. I ordered the beef curry, which was rich and flavorful, almost like hotel curry. The meat was tender and juicy. For my post-meal coffee, I had a cafe latte, which was smooth and delicious. I had a wonderful time.

I used the morning service. I went a little after 10 o'clock and had to wait a bit before getting in. The calm atmosphere was nice. The staff kindly explained the menu. It was a weekend, so there was always a wait, but it wasn't enough to call it a line, so I would like to visit again.

The specialty coffee and Gâteau Chocolat were both delicious. The Gâteau Chocolat had banana cream which I really liked. In the evening, the setting sun shines brightly with no obstructions, creating an open and refreshing atmosphere.

Located in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, "OGAWA COFFEE LABORATORY Sakurashinmachi" is a cafe that serves as the Kanto branch of Ogawa Coffee, originally based in Kyoto. Established in 1952, Ogawa Coffee is a long-standing coffee shop with several locations in Kyoto. Situated in a residential area a short walk from Sakurashinmachi Station on the Denentoshi Line, this cafe aims to create a sense of hospitality rooted in Kyoto, focusing on the experience value and community beyond the taste of coffee. The space is spacious and filled with a sense of openness. The unique design of the counter and interior is striking, with a counter that surrounds a central pillar. The exposed concrete walls add to the modern atmosphere. The "Homemade Pudding with Mascarpone Cream and Fruit" features a slightly firm pudding with a rich egg flavor, complemented by a fragrant caramel sauce. The Organic Iced Coffee, made with beans from the TadeGG farm in Ethiopia, is refreshing and easy to drink, with a subtle acidity followed by bitterness and a hint of sweetness. OGAWA COFFEE LABORATORY offers a variety of coffee options and a diverse food menu during lunchtime. With menu changes throughout the day, it may be enjoyable to become a regular customer and explore the offerings.

It's been about 3 or 4 years since I last visited this cafe, and it was my third time overall. I arrived around 2:30 pm and was able to sit at the counter right away without having to wait. I ordered a cold brew iced coffee due to the intense heat, along with a Gâteau au Chocolat (with banana whip). The atmosphere of the cafe was still stylish and the high ceiling and open windows created a lovely space. The staff were also very friendly. However, when my iced coffee was served, my first impression was... (What is this glass?!) The glasses for water and coffee were both so scratched up. The taste was still delicious, but the scratches on the glass were disappointing and surprising. It's a shame for a cafe carrying the Ogawa Coffee brand. Perhaps it's time to replace them, as they are likely from the dishwasher. I hope they make the change soon. Oh, and the cake was rich and not too sweet, and I enjoyed it.

Founded about 50 years ago in Kyoto, Ogawa Coffee is committed to protecting the Earth's environment and the livelihoods of producers, while being supported by Kyoto's aesthetic sensibilities. As "Kyoto's coffee artisans," they continue to seek the value of authenticity by cherishing each coffee bean. They aim to create "real coffee" that connects people's hearts and sustains the future. Their laboratory in Sakurashinmachi is designed with a coffee storage room as a symbol, reflecting Kyoto's hospitality. With 21 types of coffee beans available, they offer a variety of menu items from morning to dinner, including toast, chicken and fish dishes, cakes, oven-cooked dishes, and snacks. The staff are helpful in recommending coffee pairings. Customers pay at the entrance, choose a seat, and wait for their ordered dishes. The homemade granola and yogurt with seasonal fruits were delightful, especially with the sweet American cherries and rhubarb and peach compote. The grilled charcoal-butter toast with Yamato pork ham and tomatoes was juicy and flavorful. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, providing a satisfying texture. Visiting during off-peak hours is recommended to avoid the noisy atmosphere during busy times. Overall, the friendly staff, delicious food, and relaxed ambiance by the window made for a pleasant dining experience.

On a regular weekday past 11 am, a solo diner arrived at the restaurant. They were seated at the counter, where they ordered and paid for their meal one set at a time before being shown to their seat. The staff kindly explained the menu items. Even though it was lunchtime, the diner ordered homemade pudding and organic iced coffee. They received a discount of 100 yen for ordering a lunch set. They were seated at the counter. As it was getting busier, the diner placed their belongings on their chair, but the staff kindly asked them to place their belongings on the neighboring seat. The iced coffee arrived, with a perfect balance of bitterness, refreshing, and with a sharp taste, proving that this is indeed a coffee specialty shop. After a while, the pudding arrived. The flavor of the day was dark cherry, with mascarpone cream and chopped white chocolate on top. The rich and firm pudding was delicious, with the diner exclaiming "yum!" after the first bite. The coffee was a perfect pairing with the pudding, as recommended by the staff. The creamy mascarpone and the coffee created a luxurious taste, with the white chocolate complementing it well. The service, taste, and atmosphere were all excellent. It was an oasis on a hot day! The diner left fully satisfied and looking forward to trying their meals next time. A truly enjoyable experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Located near Sakurashinmachi Station, this is a coffee shop in Shinmachi that specializes in self-roasted coffee. It is the flagship store of Ogawa Coffee, a Kyoto-based brand. They are open from 7:00 in the morning until 22:00 at night, offering options for morning, lunch, cafe, and dinner (only on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays). The store opened in August 2020, with this being the first store in the Kanto region, while the second store is located in Shimokitazawa. It is about a 3-4 minute walk from the north exit of Sakurashinmachi Station. Upon entering, the spacious interior was filled with customers. The central area featured a white cylindrical structure resembling a tea room, surrounded by a Konoe-shaped counter seat and tables. The atmosphere was welcoming, with high ceilings and a glass-roasted room in the back. I visited in the afternoon and the place was bustling, with even a YACHIMOON POP UP STORE event taking place. The menu offered various options such as single-origin, blend, signature drinks, and more. I ordered the "Bright Sense" from the signature drinks, which was a Kenyan Gachuyani iced coffee with a salted milk foam on top. The presentation was elegant, served in a stemmed coupe glass. The contrast between the white foam and the coffee's color was beautiful. The taste was a delightful combination of the milk foam's saltiness and the coffee's sweet and bitter notes. Although the price felt a bit high for the portion size, it was worth it for the unique coffee cocktail experience. Overall, it was a pleasant place to spend time in Sakurashinmachi, and I would consider revisiting in the future.

The interior was very stylish and the dishes were elegantly presented. The restaurant had a clear theme that was unique to Sakurashinmachi. I reserved a lunch course for a gathering with friends I hadn't seen in a while, and it was a comfortable experience. I would like to try using the cafe next time.

The sophisticated interior architecture, well-educated staff, delicious coffee and desserts, reasonable pricing that allows anyone to indulge in this luxury without complaint, impeccable attention to detail - there's nothing to criticize about this unique artisan style that can only be found in Japan. It was truly a blissful time that made me want to come back with someone special. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Anyway, it's stylish!! Taste ★★★★☆ (4.8) Customer Service ★★★☆☆ (3.5) Atmosphere ★★★★☆ (4.5) Appearance ★★★★☆ (4.5) Price ★☆☆☆☆ (1.0) Anyway, it's stylish!! A place with a simple yet profound vibe, casual yet chic, with an atmosphere that appeals to everyone. They seem to pay attention to the quality of ingredients, using high-quality vegetables in their dishes. I tried their curry, which had a rich and deep flavor in the curry roux, and the smoked vegetables were fragrant and sweet. For dessert, I had the cafe au lait soft serve and basil ice cream. The sweet cafe au lait paired well with the refreshing basil ice cream. It was my first time trying basil ice cream, and it was a great match with the cafe au lait. Looking at the menu, it's clear that the set lunch is priced high and the portion size is very small for the amount.

I felt a sense of white space in the second visit to the space. The order was organic iced coffee with Gâteau au Chocolat and banana whip. The iced coffee had a mild acidity and no bitterness, making it easy to drink. The Gâteau au Chocolat and banana whip I ordered together complemented the coffee well. I felt a higher level of satisfaction compared to my first visit. The interior of the restaurant is stylish with a spacious and comfortable feel, thanks to the white space. It may be limited to weekdays, but it was nice to be able to relax.

A cafe in Sakurashinmachi. It seems to be the flagship brand of Ogawa Coffee in Kyoto. The space is very stylish. I visited around 12 o'clock and there was a line, but I was told that the toast I wanted was only available during the morning until 11 am or during cafe time from 3 pm to 6 pm, so I revisited around 4 pm. - Charcoal-grilled butter toast: I thought it would be crispy, but it was fluffy. I didn't like the degree of baking, but the taste was delicious. - Bright Sense: I often saw it on Instagram, so I ordered it. The shape is cute. It is a citrus coffee with a salted milk foam on top. I didn't really like the taste. - Order details: - Charcoal-grilled butter toast with homemade honey lemon on the side ¥980 - Bright Sense ¥950

The interior of the store was very spacious and had a stylish monochrome atmosphere. The drinks and sweets were priced around 500 yen, which was reasonable for the location. The drinks were of a satisfying size, similar to a large size at a cafe. I ordered a latte, and the coffee beans were selected, making it a cafe where you could also experience the value of the beans. If I have the chance to go nearby again, I would like to repeat my visit.

I had a meeting with a friend in Sakurashinmachi, and we decided to have lunch together. We arrived at the restaurant around 11:45 and although it was full, we didn't have to wait long for a table. We both ordered the 150g charcoal-grilled hamburger steak set with iced coffee. The coffee arrived first and it was delicious. The hamburger steak was served with grilled vegetables and had a nice charcoal flavor. I chose the 150g option, but it felt a bit small. The restaurant was clean, stylish, and had a relaxing atmosphere. I would like to try their cakes and other items, and I definitely want to go back to savor the coffee slowly.
