Shirakawa, Fukushima, Japan｜玄豆屋

If you want to buy coffee beans, this specialty store is recommended. They carefully roast their own beans from various production areas, and there are several types of blended beans that you can buy according to your taste. The owner's extraordinary knowledge and experience are familiar with a wide range of things other than coffee, and it's amazing to hear what he has to say. Books have been published to support them. In addition to coffee beans, the store also sells unique ingredients such as cold brew coffee that changes the brewing time according to the season. When I visited the other day, there were pieces of cheese for sale and dried mullet roe. I tried it, but the mullet roe was the most delicious I've ever eaten, not to mention the deliciousness of the cheese. And I thought it would be pretty cheap. Also, there is a phantom whiskey "Shirakawa" on the shelf. I never thought I would see Shirakawa no Treasure. I had a precious and interesting time.

This is not a store that sells specialty coffee. Enjoy delicious coffee that you can drink every day without getting tired of it, at an affordable price that you can drink every day. I think the true essence of Genmameya is that we have continued to pursue that goal for 30 years. The condition of raw beans can vary greatly depending on the lot. We judge the condition each time and create the taste of Genmameya. So the taste always stays the same. (Of course, sometimes it's blurry) How amazing is this? I think anyone who knows a little about roasting will understand this. The most important thing is the beans, which are carefully hand-picked, have a uniform size, and look beautiful. Perhaps because the beans are roasted for a long time, the aroma is a little weak, but the coffee is finished to give you the flavor of coffee. According to the owner, ``steaming'' is also important for roasting. Shirakawa City is a rather local city within Fukushima Prefecture. It can even be said that it is miraculous that a store like this exists in such a place. The store is filled with a variety of ``neta.'' Oji's dripper for making cold brew coffee. Yukiwa pot, ditting grinder. . If you're a real coffee lover, you'll be satisfied. There are other carefully selected items as well. When you enter the store, the unique owner will talk to you about various things. Sometimes it tends to drag on, but if you say, ``There's something next time,'' they'll agree. One of the top long-established stores in Fukushima Prefecture. If you like real coffee, I recommend you to visit this place at least once.

The atmosphere of the shop, the husband and wife are very nice people, and of course the coffee beans are the best. I was able to shop with peace of mind. I will be a repeat customer.
