"Books" invite people to travel. Reading itself may also be called a “travel”. A cozy space in a familiar cafe, a favorite coffee and a book. If it is this, it will be the finest reading time to play the mind always on a journey. I would like to introduce you to a cafe where you want to read books and meet books.
BUNDAN COFFEE & BEER
Both Japanese-style buildings made by the Shoin are from the early Showa era in a splendid Western-style building with decorative bricks and tiles. And a lawn square in the garden with huge trees and famous stones. It is Komaba Park, the site of the site of the former residence of Maeda-Koto private residence, that feels like being mixed in with the stage of the novel.
If it is a pleasant season, I sit on a bench in the lawn open space and take a book from the bag ... but in the cold season, I go to the Japanese Modern Literature Museum, which is built in the park. When you open the door of a Showa retro building that was built 50 years ago, it smells of coffee. "BUNDAN COFFEE & BEER" is at the corner of the Japan Modern Literature Museum. Reading and coffee after a walk are just the space for book lovers.
If it is an atmosphere like a library room where the reading corner of the literary museum is organized, the taste here is that it is a used book shop where the shop owner's taste is studded. As a matter of fact, the shelf on the wall, and the book pushed into the gap, is the private property of the owner of this store with 20,000 books. Hum. From modern literature to recent best-selling books, essays, cartoons, game cheats, philosophy books, cookbooks ... what kind of person is the person here?
When I opened a book that I had at hand, a collection of essays written by 40 authors about coffee. It is the chapter of Katsushi Morimura that the eyes are stuck with flipping over. I started a coffee shop in Karuizawa with homemade cakes and my favorite teas, but I can not say that coffee is delicious. Speaking of Katsura Morimura "is the island closest to heaven", I read about it at that time, Chiyo Harada of the movie was cute, no, I went to this shop in Karuizawa on my way back to ski ... and on several pages The heart is fluffy here and there just by looking through it. A book is a magical door that lets you travel anywhere.
Well, what should I choose for coffee? "Yodogawa" uses Brazilian beans of a reasonable acidity and nutty aroma. "Terayama" is a mocha base with a taste for drinking. Spicy and powerful Mandelin's "Sakai" also. Coffee beans are the name of the author and it is a cafe where reading mania goes. It is also a pleasure at this store to explore the compatibility with the chosen book.
