Kusa Makura

Kusamakura" is a distinguished, non-smoking coffee shop and cafe nestled quietly in Nishishinbashi, Tokyo, just a short walk from Uchisaiwaicho, Kasumigaseki, and Toranomon stations. Named after Natsume Soseki's novel, it embodies a deep, contemplative ambiance. Honored as a Tabelog Top 100 Coffee Shop in both 2021 and 2022, the owner is influenced by the legendary Daibo Coffee. Despite its small size of only 11 seats (5 counter, 6 table), it offers a tranquil, dimly lit, and intimate atmosphere akin to a hidden bar, perfect for quiet contemplation or reading. Patrons can savor deeply flavorful, often richly roasted, and easy-to-drink coffee, complemented by a firm cheesecake uniquely accented with salt. Soft classical music and the subtle sounds of coffee preparation contribute to a serene environment, making it an ideal retreat for individuals seeking peace away from the city's hustle. Reservations are not accepted.
