There's a Japanese touch to this third-wave coffee shop, where you'll find matcha, Japanese pour-over coffee and mains like gyudon (beef and rice bowls) and cold ramen. You can order coffee steeped in sake and there's even a resident Akita. Coffee beans are single origin and rotate seasonally. It doubles as an art-supply store and encourages in-shop doodling.
