The charming long-established coffee shop Tanpopo in heartwarming Esashi

Small in size but with outstanding presence

This small coffee shop in front of the Esashi-cho office stands out surprisingly because there are no buildings next to it. Tanpopo, with its old-fashioned atmosphere, has been loved by the local people for a long time.

The charming grandmother owner, who is over 80 years old

The grandmother, the owner, is well over 80 years old but still energetic. Her story of having lived a happy life despite the hardships brings a fresh perspective to those of us accustomed to the convenience of modern life.

Enjoying fresh squid sashimi

On a day when most shops were closed for the day off, Tanpopo served fresh squid sashimi. The freshly caught, transparent squid dances on the tongue, delivering an exquisite taste. Amidst the decreasing squid catch, we savored this rare delicacy.

Local flavors, nostalgic tastes

In addition to squid sashimi, Tanpopo offers local flavors and nostalgic tastes such as hamburger set meals and pork cutlet curry. The warm and heartfelt home-cooked meals in this long-established shop will undoubtedly soothe both your body and mind.
