Hiroshima, Japan｜Akai Yane

Fantastic view and lovely owner

This is the coffee shop with the red roof that appears at the beginning of Kozo Murashita's The Big Dipper. In 2024, it will be the 45th anniversary of the opening. Due to the influence of Corona, we are currently closed from Friday to Sunday. Hours are noon to evening. It's very calming to see the view from the hill while listening to the cute mom's story. It feels like time has stopped. The usual curry and cream soda are also delicious. When the store opened, it seems that the Seto Inland Sea around Ninoshima Town was also visible. Now there are more big buildings in the city, and it's gone. The scenery changes, but nowhere changes. It's such a lovely space.

A coffee shop related to the poet Kozo Murashita. The red roof on the hill in the northwest of Hiroshima City is the symbol of the cafe, and it is drawn in the beginning of the song "The Big Dipper" by Mr. Kozo. The calm owner told me an episode. When he saw this roof in his bad times, he passed by thinking, "I want to live here!" It seems that he visited after being successful and drank coffee without giving his name. Later, someone told me, and it seems that I knew it for the first time. The menu includes delicious coffee carefully brewed, nostalgic beef curry, and several other menus. Time passed slowly, and the sound of the wall clock telling the time was impressive. Anyway, the owner's personality was very nice!
