A hideaway coffee shop [Cafe Reed Island] in Kawaramachi Sanjo.
Coffee shop Reed Island is a hideaway coffee shop located on the 5th floor of a building near the Sanjo Ohashi Bridge. With the concept of "moderation," the warm wooden interior, sculptor Koichiro Tokumochi's artwork, and the elegant aroma of incense, visitors are always warmly welcomed in a space where they can relax to their heart's content.
Artwork by sculptor Koichiro Tokumochi. The motif is a statue of Maitreya Bosatsu (Maitreya Bodhisattva) of Koryuji Temple, which was ordered by the store owner, Mr. Sasaki.
What you can enjoy here is coffee made from home-roasted beans. The coffee is brewed according to a unique theory, and the barista carefully brews each cup so that there are no unwanted flavors. The taste of the coffee does not change over time, making it a favorite among coffee lovers. The lineup includes a wide variety, with five blends, including the classic and easy-to-drink Sanjo Blend, and five to seven single-origin varieties.
Chenjin Sasaki, owner of the restaurant
To be enjoyed with such prized coffee are six types of cheesecakes based on the concept of "enhancing the taste of coffee. The Sanjo cheesecakes, available in limited quantities in the store, have a firm, rich, milky mouthfeel that makes the most of the flavors of the ingredients.
It is of course delicious on its own, but when paired with coffee, it melts in your mouth and you can enjoy the marriage of the two. Enjoy it slowly as a pairing sweet to be enjoyed with coffee.
Sanjo Cheesecake 690 yen, with its rich yet refreshing flavor, is available in limited quantities, so early arrival is recommended. The Reed Island Blend, a medium deep roast with a good balance, is 830 yen. Be sure to ask for a set!
