How do you usually drink your coffee? This coffee shop in Itabashi serves your favourite brew in wine glasses. It’s not as strange as it sounds – just as it does for wine, the glass is said to preserve the taste of the coffee and its shape accentuates the aroma of the brew.
The shop has about six different types of in-house roasted coffee beans with different levels of intensity: Ethiopia (bright fruity flavours), the house Viva Blend (light medium roast with a floral taste), Guatemala (medium roast with sweet, chocolate flavour notes), Kenya (medium deep roast with brightly acidic notes), Mandheling (deep roast with strong bitterness), and even café au lait blend mix.
In addition to regular coffee, the venue also has original drinks, brewing coffee with hot sake instead of still water, or mixing tonic water with iced cold brew. For those on the go, you can always order takeaway or buy some of Viva’s roasted beans at the counter.
