As you walk through the beautiful townscape of Gujo Hachiman in Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture—a town alive with history and water—you'll hear the murmuring of the clear Yoshida River. With the sound of the water as your background music, you might feel compelled to stop by a small coffee stand called Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba. At this Gujo coffee stand, you can enjoy more than just a drink to quench your thirst; it's a special coffee experience that will delight all your senses.
Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba carefully hand-drips fair-trade organic coffee beans grown with absolutely no pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Each cup, with its soft mouthfeel, refreshing acidity, and pleasant bitterness, unfolds with a rich aroma that will gently soothe your soul. It's the perfect spot for those taking a break from sightseeing in Gujo Hachiman or anyone seeking a special moment in a place that makes you forget your daily routine.
Just near the shop, we have table seating where you can enjoy a close-up view of the clear Yoshida River. Savoring freshly brewed coffee while watching the transparent flow of the river is an unparalleled luxury that will make you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. This stunning natural location is undoubtedly one of the greatest attractions that Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba offers. Please relax to your heart's content while enjoying the river scenery, which changes with the seasons.
At Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba, in addition to our classic hand-drip coffee, we offer an attractive menu that changes with the seasons, ensuring there's always something new to discover. We invite you to experience the seasonal flavors unique to our Gujo coffee stand.
During the summer, our popular cold brew coffee is highly recommended. Slowly steeped over time, our cold brew features a smooth, clear taste, making it the perfect drink for a hot day exploring Gujo Hachiman. And what says summer more than our seasonal shaved ice? The harmony of fluffy ice with seasonal fruits and syrups will cool both your body and soul. The combination of the crystal-clear Yoshida River scenery and a chilled shaved ice treat is truly the essence of summer.
You can also enjoy our signature rich soft serve ice cream year-round. The Affogato Soft is especially popular with adults for its exquisite contrast between warm espresso and cold soft serve. Enjoy its melting sweetness while gazing at the fresh greenery in spring, the autumn leaves, or the snowy landscapes of winter. It pairs perfectly with coffee and is an ideal after-meal dessert.
Through these menu items, we at Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba hope you will experience the rich nature and changing seasons of Gujo Hachiman with all your senses. We aim to brighten your special day with a menu tailored to each season.
