A coffee shop along the Shirakawa River where you can relax in a retro atmosphere [Yamamoto Coffee Shop]

Standing along the Shirakawa River, the location is comfortable with sunlight pouring in through the large windows. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Yamamoto, opened this store in 2011, utilizing the atmosphere of an old-fashioned pure coffee shop that was originally located in a Showa-era apartment building.

The walls and counter arranged in green, yellow, and pink block checks also have a retro flavor, creating a space where everyone, young and old, can relax.

The lineup of dishes is typical of a coffee shop, including Neapolitan and beef curry. Among them, the grilled egg sandwich is a staple of Yamamoto Cafe, and is often referred to as "the most popular menu item at Yamamoto Cafe.

Grilled egg sandwich, 700 yen. The fluffy omelet, thinly sliced cucumber, and moist bread match each other, and the spicy mayonnaise adds just the right amount of flavor. The yellow bowl has been a favorite since the restaurant opened.

The morning meal includes a drink and salad for the reasonable price of 900 yen, and the grilled egg sandwiches, which are gentle on the palate and taste, are perfect for mornings. The summer-only lemon squash, pineapple squash with coconut ice cream, and the year-round popular cream soda will tickle your nostalgia.

Lemon squash 800 yen, available only from June to September. The lemon sorbet on top is also refreshing and cools you down. 70's Morinaga Twist glasses are cute!
