Kihachi Cafe Fukuya Hacchōbori Honten

kihachi cafe fukuya hacchōbori honten takes its coffee seriously, and hiroshima notices. the hacchōbori area in naka ward moves fast, department stores and commuters, the kind of street that doesn't pause for you. this cafe, sitting on the second floor of fukuya's honten building on ebisucho, gives you a reason to step sideways from all of that. local regulars have made it a consistent stop, not because there's nowhere else to go, but because this place holds its standard quietly and keeps holding it. you don't need to know much about specialty coffee to feel the difference between somewhere that's coasting and somewhere that isn't. the second floor is a good place to be on a weekday afternoon.
