Minakami, Gunma, Japan｜📍MATCH E NO IE

This is one of the best cafes I've ever been to! They make the coffee from scratch right in front of you! I reccomend the Cafe Au Lait as the guy will mix the coffee and cream with a flair! Plus the resulting foam on top tickles your lips! The whole place was relaxing and decompressed all my stress! There's even a big tree over arching the building that blooms in sakura season.

Really lovely shop, great set lunch and coffee. It was the summer Obon holiday, so called a few days ahead for reservation. It's not a huge shop, and can fill up. The owners were very nice and attentive. In the back there is antique kitchenware for sale, as well as an area you can make a painting on a matchbox and put in a decorative frame of your choice, but did not have time to do.

Awesome place! Great food and drinks, and wonderful friendly staff :) Most of the veges were organic home grown!
