Kasama, Ibaraki, Japan｜雑貨&cafe kinomi

A general store and cafe that sells handmade items. Part of the second floor was used as a workshop. Good taste miscellaneous goods were available at unbeatable prices. I wasn't able to use the cafe due to lack of time, but I would definitely like to visit it again. It was the first time in a while that I felt like I didn't want to tell anyone about it.

I used it in conjunction with the Kasamayaki Flame Festival in May 2022, along with a walk around the area. It looks like a general store from the outside, and there are a lot of miscellaneous goods inside, so it's fun just looking around. There are several desks and chairs (including counter seats) where you can enjoy coffee, cake, meals, etc. I was told that I could choose my favorite coffee from the cups lined up on the shelf, and the cup in my favorite color and shape made me feel special.

This is a stylish cafe that you should definitely visit if you like coffee and Kasamayaki. You can choose your favorite coffee cup from among the many available on the shelf and pour it into your cup. These items seem to have been painstakingly collected by the owner over the past 30 years. Each one was unique and beautiful, and I felt a strong sense of commitment. I had hot coffee. It had a rich flavor and was delicious with little sourness or unpleasant taste. It tastes even better when you drink it in the cup of your choice. As I spoke with the owner and regular customers at the counter, I got a sense of how much love the locals have for Kasamayaki. The coffee was delicious, the conversations were lively and fun, and the interior of the store was filled with fashionable space.I was very satisfied. The first floor sells pottery, miscellaneous goods, and coffee beans, and the second floor is a gallery that mainly sells miscellaneous goods, so you can have a lot of fun just looking at them.
