Cafe • 1-9 Nishitsuchidōchō, Onomichi, Hiroshima 722-0032, Japan
A small cafe called 'MATIN SUN BLE' stands in a quiet residential area of Onomichi. It's a hidden gem known only to local residents, not found in any tourist guide so far. This cafe, located at the end of an alley, has a charming and calm atmosphere renovated from a wooden old house.
About a 15-minute walk from Onomichi Station, 'MATIN SUN BLE' quietly stands in the residential area. It's a hidden cafe in the alleyway that you will never find unless you specifically look for it, but once you pass by, you will surely be captivated by its lovely appearance.
There is a small parking space in front of the shop, and it's also possible to visit by bicycle. As you enter, the owner couple warmly welcomes the guests. The first floor has a counter and table seats, and the second floor has a raised platform seat, allowing you to enjoy a private space wherever you sit.
The lunch menu offers healthy dishes made from seasonal ingredients. The bread is also homemade at the shop, and its simple yet elaborate taste is exceptional. Paired with their specialty coffee, you can enjoy a supreme time with a faintly lingering alleyway atmosphere.
Additionally, the dessert baked goods are masterpieces crafted by the wife herself. Scones and cakes, baked with the feeling of a chef, are popular not only for tasting in the shop but also as souvenirs. They also sell souvenirs such as ginger syrup, so it's recommended to get them on your way back.
Like 'MATIN SUN BLE', there are many renowned local stores in Onomichi that are difficult to discover from the outside. Beyond the famous tourist spots, the true charm lies hidden in these places. During your travels, why not extend your visit and experience a supreme time at a cafe hidden in the alleyway?
