Nagano, Japan｜N4.5 Espresso & Diner

I come here often because the atmosphere is nice and the food and cafe menu are both delicious. Although it's a popular restaurant, there aren't that many seats, so you can spend a peaceful time here. This is a recommended restaurant for a date or a coffee break after drinking. There are very few cafes that are open until late at night, so this is a great option.

As someone like me who likes to finish off my drinks with sweets, this restaurant is very useful as it serves delicious desserts until late at night. In addition to the standard pudding, the cakes and parfaits made with seasonal fruits were also very delicious. The atmosphere inside the store is stylish and has a uniform feel. I will continue to visit in the future, looking forward to the curry and dessert menus that are updated every month.

I visited around 8pm. On the alcohol menu, we had the craft beer "KOKAGE Beer" made in Karuizawa and the hard cider made in collaboration with "Sanova Smith" made in Omachi City. The wine selection includes Nagano wine and overseas wine selected by the owner. There is also a limited evening menu, and we also had braised pork and fried chicken. There are almost no places where you can eat rice at craft beer shops, so it was helpful to have a rice menu. The owner, staff, and regulars were kind, and even though I was a first-time customer, I had a good time talking with them. You can also drink coffee after enjoying your meal. Even as a final drink, it warmed my body and soul. Prices are also reasonable. It was a wonderful shop that I would like to visit regularly.
