About
Located on the approach to Fukagawa Fudōdō Temple from Monzen-Nakachō Station, this cafe uses beans from Allpress Espresso, a specialty coffee roaster from New Zealand. Operated by Buena Design, a company specializing in commercial space design, the cafe aims to foster communication between people and the community through coffee. Pastries, including baked cakes made with seasonal fruits, are handmade in-house.
— I took the amazake shop to a cafe on the approach to the shrine.
The shop occupies a building that originally opened as a Japanese confectionery shop and, until several decades ago, served amazake (sweet rice wine). After renovations, the "Shimizu Amazake Shop" sign remains, and the interior is finished with Japanese materials such as cedar and Oya stone as accents, in a way that does not disrupt the atmosphere of the temple town. The bench in front of the shop was also intended to serve as a resting place for people passing by on the approach to the temple. This shop is an attempt to restore vibrancy to the temple approach while preserving the history of the old amazake shop.
