Gujo Hachiman in Gifu Prefecture is a city where the clear Yoshida River flows gently. This 'water city' breathes with the charm of old Japan and moments of peace. Nestled quietly within this beautiful scenery, 'Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba' is a small coffee stand that offers a special cup to all its visitors.
At our shop, we carefully hand-drip fair-trade, organic beans grown completely without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, offering a blissful moment enjoyed amidst Gujo Hachiman's rich nature. And with the desire for all coffee lovers to fully enjoy this aromatic experience, we also focus on serving 'delicious decaf'.
Some of you might wonder, 'Isn't decaf a bit unsatisfying?' or 'Won't the flavor be weaker without caffeine?' For those late at night, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for anyone sensitive to caffeine, having to give up coffee can be a little disappointing.
However, rest assured. The decaf offered at Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba is a satisfying cup where only the caffeine has been removed, without compromising coffee's original rich flavor and aroma. We've received joyful feedback from customers saying, 'I can drink delicious decaf here.'
Our decaf is more than just coffee with caffeine removed. It's a special cup designed for all coffee lovers to savor its rich flavor to the fullest.
The decaf served at Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba also uses fair-trade, organic beans grown completely without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, just like our regular coffee. By carefully hand-dripping each cup, a soft flavor harmonizes with refreshing acidity and pleasant bitterness, spreading a delicate aroma. We've received delightful feedback from customers such as, 'This coffee uses beans carefully grown completely without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. A refreshing acidity and pleasant bitterness are exquisitely balanced within its soft flavor, enveloping you in a luxurious and comforting aroma.'
Our shop is located right by the clear Yoshida River, and we also have table seating nearby where you can gaze at the river. Spending relaxing time in this nature-rich location with an aromatic decaf in hand is pure bliss.
Strolling through Gujo Hachiman becomes even more pleasant with decaf. Our shop also participates in the 'Cold Brew Coffee Town Walk Experience from Gujo' and offers takeout, so you can enjoy a gentle-on-the-body cup while strolling through the beautiful streets with the murmur of the clear stream as your background music. Furthermore, a friendly chat with our owner will surely become one of your cherished memories of Gujo Hachiman.
At Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba, we also offer a wide array of seasonal menu items that pair perfectly with decaf. Beyond coffee, please enjoy the various flavors that will color your trip to Gujo Hachiman.
Our rich soft serve ice cream is smooth and creates a wonderful harmony with the gentle flavor of decaf. Especially recommended is our Decaf Affogato Soft Serve. When warm decaf is poured over cold soft serve, the coffee aroma and milky richness blend together, creating an unprecedentedly luxurious dessert.
Our seasonal shaved ice is another popular menu item. Especially in Gujo Hachiman during summer, the fluffy shaved ice, along with the coolness of the clear stream, provides a refreshing relief. The combination of sweet and sour fruits or Japanese-flavored shaved ice with a clean-tasting decaf is surprisingly compatible. You can refresh your palate while still enjoying the lingering coffee notes.
The decaf from Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba accompanies you in various situations. Why not find your own rich moments with decaf, tailored to your lifestyle?
Surrounded by the pristine waters and rich nature of Gujo Hachiman, Kawabe no Coffee Sakaba aspires to be a special, comforting place for all coffee lovers. Whether you're concerned about caffeine or not, please forget the daily hustle and bustle and enjoy peaceful moments with our carefully crafted cup.
