Wakayama, Japan｜Coffee Mokuren

I don't think there's any need to explain it now, but it's a very nice cafe located in Janjan Yokocho. The long, narrow, two-story building in the back, combined with the atmosphere of Janjan Yokocho, gives you the feeling of being in Hanoi, Vietnam, or at least somewhere exotic. The interior of the store is filled with a refined and highly refined sensibility, and you can feel the time passing slowly while enjoying delicious coffee. I feel like I'm looking at a complete answer to what a cafe should be.

There are as many shops serving delicious coffee as Hoshi no Kazu. Originally there were two stores, but the wall was cut out and it became one store with depth. There is no trace of renovation, but the interior is steeped in history in places where the concrete was intentionally scraped. If you talk to the shop staff, you will not stop, it will not end. It is a person who draws out a lot of material. Mokuren's coffee is delicious. For those who want to relax and enjoy coffee together, go to the 2nd floor of the Showa retro space. If you want to enjoy coffee and chat with the shop staff, go to the 1st floor. Mokuren is the one and only coffee shop.

The parking lot is always full so it's hard to know where to park, but that's how popular this restaurant is. Pudding run is even more delicious on a hot day.
