Lovely service and delicious pancakes.

Wouldn't this be perfect for a break or meeting up in front of Akabane Station? Reasonably priced despite being right by the station. Bossa nova-like background music plays inside, and although customers' conversations create a buzz, you can still relax. I ordered a hot blend coffee and a Mont Blanc. Convenience-store cakes have gotten quite delicious lately, but a little more expensive. The Mont Blanc here is cheaper than those, but tastes about right for the price. Probably frozen. I suspect I'd have been more satisfied ordering ogura toast. The coffee has pronounced bitterness and acidity, with perhaps a little astringency lingering in the mouth. The taste of a Showa-era coffee shop. It has wifi and power outlets, and above all, it's nice that the prices aren't oddly inflated.

Umenoki Shinkan, a coffee shop near Akabane Station. Akabane is an everyday neighborhood closely tied to its locals, often featured on walking shows. In the drinking world, red lanterns suit it perfectly, but in the nonalcoholic world, 'kissaten' feels more fitting than 'cafe.' This place could be called a typical example. Being on ２F, it's hard to tell what the atmosphere is like, but plenty of interior and menu photos are charmingly displayed at the foot of the stairs. It somehow feels approachable, so I decide to head upstairs. The rounded wooden chairs look like a 'cafe' at first glance, but the staff's homey manner is pure 'kissaten.' That day I had the hotcake and coffee set. There were 2 hotcakes filling a round white plate. Put on butter while they're warm, then syrup. As the butter melts and blends into the hotcakes, the aroma rises with the steam over your whole face. That's the joy of hotcakes before you even eat them. When your teeth feel a little squeaky and you sense that floury texture, it somehow feels like you've really eaten something substantial. The interior was spacious too, and I could really take my time. Seeing the staff and customers enjoying everyday conversation also felt very Akabane.

I visited for lunch. Akabane is often thought of as a drinking district, but I'm glad it actually has quite a few coffee shops. The dry curry wasn't too spicy, and I enjoyed it♫
