Nagato is located in the heart of Shimonoseki City and was once a historical area that flourished as the castle town of the Choshu domain. SOUZAEMON by TAKADA COFFEE, located here, is a tranquil café housed in a renovated samurai residence. Stepping into the tatami room, you will be surrounded by carefully selected coffees from around the world and the elegance of Japanese ambiance.
As soon as you enter the store, a serene space that seems to have stopped time spreads out. Sitting on the terrace, overlooking the lush garden, when you take a sip of the fragrant coffee, the blessings of nature will appeal to your five senses. The coffee brewed with a press-style percolator has an exquisite balance of richness and acidity.
The unique lineup of sweets at the café is also not to be missed. The subtle and elegant flavors of cheesecake, pudding, and Mont Blanc are popular. In particular, the matcha cheesecake with its moderate bitterness and fragrant Japanese taste is captivating. With each mouthful, you can enjoy a moment of supreme bliss.
SOUZAEMON by TAKADA COFFEE is located along the main street of Nagato, Shimonoseki City, within walking distance from JR Nagato-Fu Station and the samurai residence. Due to the limited space of the parking lot next to the store, it is recommended to plan your visit with some extra time.
When you visit Nagato, be sure to stop by this café and indulge in the supreme flavors nurtured by history and culture. Away from the hustle and bustle, a wonderful time with a peaceful state of mind awaits.
