you're heading underground, literally. ikiteiru coffee sits in the basement of a building a short walk from shijo station in kyoto, and that subterranean setting gives the whole place a quiet, concentrated feel. they've been recognised in tabelog's kissaten top 100 two years running, which for a kissaten-style coffee shop in a city this serious about coffee means something. the roasting approach focuses on keeping the beans' original flavors intact rather than pushing them toward anything showy.
