Iida, Nagano, Japan｜珈乃薫（CONOKA）

The beans are a bit expensive, but the freshness and taste are outstanding! delicious! I buy beans at various stores, but honestly they are cheap for this quality. The beans are introduced from a buyer's perspective, making it easy to buy and choose. The owner will also tell you about the recommended roasts, so even first-timers won't have to worry. It really feels like a specialty store. It is different from a half-hearted store that is also used as a cafe. If you want to buy beans, we recommend purchasing them at specialty stores like these. If you purchase 200g or more, you will receive a complimentary cup of coffee. The coffee was also very delicious! If you want to buy really delicious coffee beans, you have to go to a store like this.

It's a small shop, but From the selection of beans to the end of roasting and grinding, I enjoy the aroma of the coffee and the warm conversations with the couple, and I have become a fan of the shop. I'm about to enter my second summer since moving to Iida, and now my routine has become to think back on my husband's comments while brewing coffee the morning after I purchased the item.

It's set up as a small tenant store, so unless you're thinking of going here, it's a business-like store that you might easily miss while passing by. But when I entered the store, I was surprised to find that it smelled so good. I think most coffee bean specialty stores sell roasted black beans in containers, but this one sells roasted beans by ordering. An automatic machine roasts the food right in front of you, so it's very fresh and interesting, and there's also a counter where you can have a drink while you wait. It seems that they also sell green beans, so it is recommended for people who want to roast their own coffee. Also, since you can see the raw beans on the shelf, you can clearly see the differences depending on the region of origin, and in a sense, it's easier to decide if you want to drink this than with roasted beans. Since the coffee is roasted to order and milled, the recommended expiration date is easy to understand. I would like people who are particular about it to visit and take a look.
