There are many forms of coffee shops in Kyoto, including Japanese coffee, tea shops, and chain coffee shops, as well as hand-brewed coffee, which is now influenced by the coffee culture of various countries. This time, the editor of Matcha took you to Kyoto to visit five coffee shops that coffee lovers will love.

Showa 25 years start-up Liuyao Society Underground Store

Liuyao Club is one of the old coffee shops in Kyoto. It was founded in Showa in 25 years (1950) and has been passed on for three generations. If you want to experience the traditional Japanese tea shop, Liuyao Club is a must. The name "Liu Yao" originally comes from the study of Yin and Yang in China, and it is also the general name of the six important days in the Japanese imperial calendar, including: first victory, friendly introduction, first defeat, Buddha extinction, Daan and Chikou. These six days are no longer used in China, but can still be seen in the Japanese calendar, and there is a small coffee shop named after it.

If you want to eat cakes and coffee quickly, go to the upper floor. If you want to enjoy a cup of coffee slowly, choose to go downstairs. The tea shop is a little different from the modern foreign-style coffee shop, where the barista will talk to the guests and have comfortable tables and chairs for friends to talk and laugh in the shop, which is very different from the young Italian coffee shop which advertises itself as "fast".

Here is a coffee shop during the day, transformed into a bar at night, let guests feel other wonderful, more importantly, or insist on providing space for guests to communicate, this is human touch.

Before entering the store, it has brought you to the atmosphere of the Showa era.

Tables and chairs are very ancient, as if they really went back to the 1950s.

When the editor goes to this old-fashioned coffee shop, he is sure to order a cup of Blend Coffee, which may not be like the sour coffee that Japanese ladies like to drink. The coffee with a bit of bitterness and simplicity is the symbol of Japanese coffee.

Slow work, slow work make time stop Elephant Factory Coffee

Elephant Factory Coffee is near the four Yachuan that we all know. Because it is such a lively place, it took the editor some time to find it. For the first time, I came around for several times, going back and forth, and finally it was getting dark, so I gave up. The second time, with the same map, still can not find, and finally use GOOGLE MAP to find, the original Elephant Factory Coffee is in the depths of the alley, after the twists and turns of the narrow alley, on the second floor of a small white building.

Elephant Factory Coffee is a well-known coffee shop in Kyoto, but its character is so low-key that only the coffee controller will find it here. The manager discovered the unique personality of coffee in Italy many years ago, so he brought his favorite flavor back to Japan, looked everywhere in Japan for the ideal coffee beans, and finally chose the beans baked by Mimai in Hokkaido. The people who come to the store are all young and with a little personality, and it is clear at a glance that they are not people who blindly follow the trend. some people enter the store like editors just to drink a cup of coffee that suits their own taste. some want to relax and have a good chat with friends here. If you feel stressed out in your daily life, this may be a place to breathe a little bit.

Simple white porcelain cup, printed here gray Logo, poured into the thick sweet and bitter coffee, simple vision but also bring complex taste.

Here are a bunch of books and magazines for guests to read, marked with a small price sticker, and you can even take them home if you like.

Located in a narrow alley, the inconspicuous appearance of the door may be found on a map for the first time.

Two huts in a coffee shop in a dilapidated house

The editor left from Erjiao City and opened his mobile program to find a coffee shop to have a rest. Walk along the map to a place that looks like a parking lot and find that the map icon shows that the store is there. At this time, I found that the dilapidated house in front of me was two huts.

The shabby exterior wall, with a small window, is a place to buy takeout.

After pushing the door into the store, there was almost no extra light in the dim cafe, and the whole space depended on the sunlight from that window. The aroma of coffee also came after the door was opened. The boss, Mr. Xiwen, came from a liberal arts major, and as soon as he fell in love with the small house, he converted it into a cafe.

The drinks here are only coffee, but also cakes and sandwiches. It is a space suitable for emptying and in a daze, and just watching Mr. Xiwen's gesture of making coffee is also a kind of enjoyment. But this is a "drinking coffee shop", which is to drink coffee standing up.

The shabby house gives off a charming smell of coffee.

Mr. Xiwen, the store manager, does everything to make coffee, cook meals and make desserts. Because of the small space in the store, he has the opportunity to take a closer look at the professional appearance of baristas.

This time, because I was a little tired, I ordered the Vantning coffee with a harmonious flavor, but this coffee cup with a little color seemed to attract the editor more than the coffee.

Check the information, two huts.

Kurasu, an Australian style coffee shop near Kyoto Station.

KURASU is near Kyoto Station, although it takes about 5 minutes to walk, but the location is not very obvious. KURASU started online, and his Kyoto-born boss, Yizo Ohashi, once lived in North America and worked in finance in Tokyo. After moving to Sydney in 2013, he founded Kurasu.

Australia is also a coffee-loving country. The editor once talked to some Japanese baristas, and many people fell in love with coffee because they lived in Australia. After moving to Australia, Mr. Okuma started a new business, and later discovered the online business opportunities for coffee. He also tried to combine cafes with aesthetics, starting with a coffee bean, coffee pots, coffee cups, flushing utensils, and so on. Every consumption is a sensory experience and emotional link.

Indeed, for the editor, whether it is good or bad coffee, it is an unforgettable experience in my mind.

The style in the store is simple, and the clerk speaks English well, so you don't have to worry about ordering food. Italian coffee is sold here, as well as individual hand-made coffee.

It is the editor's favorite to have an approachable Latte latte in the morning.

Adult gas coffee shop from Hong Kong% ARABICA Kyoto Dongshan shop

The "% ARABICA" from Hong Kong is located in Discovery Bay in Hong Kong, but the owner is Japanese Donghai Lin Kefan, who opened a shop in Hong Kong before returning to Kyoto to open a shop. Lanshan shop with good scenery is very popular, but if traffic convenience is taken into account, Dongshan shop is much more convenient. Because this is the only way to or from Qingshui Temple. If you get off from Shimizu Osaka and walk to the Qingshui Temple, you will certainly pass by here. Dongshan store is actually the first store in Kyoto, and then in Lanshan and Fujii Daemaru have opened stores, three branches are located in Kyoto.

The coffee maker they use is Seattle brand Slayer, while the bean dryer is Japanese brand Tornado King. The boss has strict requirements for the production of coffee. he grew up in Tokyo, then went to the United States to study, and then went to Hong Kong to open his first shop. The boss also recruited many excellent young baristas to enhance the vitality of the store.

They only sell coffee, which tastes average and impartial. Perhaps it is because even people who don't drink coffee often find it easy to taste, and there are often long queues outside the store.

The menu is simple, just pick a cup of coffee that suits your taste.

They work with the world champion Junichi Yamaguchi, so there are beautiful flowers in every Latte.
