Minoh, Osaka, Japan｜Yamamoto Coffee-kan

Lovely Showa/Ghibli style cafe with amazing coffee and cute cakes. The view is very nice, the river streaming below through the Minoh mountains. Very peaceful and great before or after a hike. The also have specialty coffees. Friendly staff. Recommended to try!

It was the only place open on Elderly day. The sandwich 🥪 set was so fulfilling and the coffee was fancy. Pleasant experience overall with outside scenery.

In 1995, the year of Heisei 7, Yamamoto Café was opened in the first recognized "natural park" in Osaka, which is the "Meiji No Mori Minoh Quasinational Park" we just visited. It appears in the deep green forest of Minoh with a strong European architectural style. Once you get to know it, you will find that Yamamoto Coffee is actually one of the early chambers of commerce that introduced the drink "coffee" in the Kansai region, and it is considered a giant in the industry. After the war, Japan's economy began to recover. Under the influence of Western culture, coffee also entered Japanese society as a fashion. At that time, there were also many "tea shops" and "cabbage houses" opened, but the first one in Kansai to be opened in the beautiful environment of a national natural park was "Yamamoto Coffeehouse" The majesty of the waterfall I just watched still lingers in my mind. As soon as I stepped into the store, I was immediately attracted by the solid wooden decoration with a touch of classical luxury, which gave people a sense of peace of mind that "you should be able to take a good rest here." With large windows and a seating area full of natural light, the luxury here is more like a private bungalow than a small tea shop. The luxurious European-style interior decoration perfectly matches the greenery outside, as if they belong to each other. Throughout the year, there are different insects and birds chirping here. Looking out the window, you can also see Minoh The river is flowing. If time permits, please stay here for a while. As the skylight changes, you can see the woods outside the window showing different colors. Moreover, in this environment surrounded by nature, it seems that the body, mind and soul can be purified. Of course, the most famous thing here is the home-roasted coffee. When it is served, the clerk will help fill the first cup, and then put the coffee in the middle of the exquisite vessel, with sugar on one side and fresh milk on the other. Using the traditional siphon brewing method, cup after cup is brewed on site. Although it takes time, the coffee brewed is sweet and delicious, not sour or bitter. It is different from the strong style of coffee that mainstream people in Taiwan drink after the third coffee revolution. . Adding milk does not reduce the flavor at all, but adds a rich aroma to the glycolic taste. The overall drink is very smooth, and the mood after tasting it is as quiet and leisurely as the nearby natural scenery. It also provides some desserts (different every day), as well as sandwiches, hot dogs, and other Western and savory snacks. If you are hungry, you might as well spend a perfect afternoon tea time in this beautiful environment with European classical elegance. Minoh Quasinational Park is really beautiful. Whether it is the environment, food, or the changed state of mind when you enter here, it is recommended to spend a little more time to stay and feel the tranquility of this mountain forest. If you come during the maple leaf season, you can also Feel the gorgeous forest like a fairyland.
