A rare coffee called King of Coffee
Blue Mountain
There is a cafe in Yokohama where you can casually enjoy the pure Blue Mountain coffee, which is produced in a certain area at an altitude of 2,256m in Jamaica.

This shop is particular about using 25g of pure Blue Mountain beans, which is twice the usual amount, to make one cup of coffee.
It has a rich flavor, but the mouthfeel is soft and clean with no impurities.
Where can you get such high-quality coffee? Well, it's
Inside a department store
This shop is located on the 5th floor of Sogo Yokohama.
The interior of the store is also full of attention to detail, for example, this sofa is
A leather-covered Swan chair by Nordic Arne Jacobsen.
I happened to take this photo in 2017, thinking that it would be nice to have it at home because it was comfortable to sit on.
This photo was taken in 2023.
It has a nice flavor.
The tableware is also made by Meissen, Wedgwood, Baccarat, etc.
And there is another fun thing about this cafe.
That is, the cakes
You can enjoy cakes from Patisserie Monte Rosa, a long-established Western confectionery shop in Yokohama founded in 1962.
This is the premium shortcake that Komeko and her friends always order.
A special shortcake made with herb eggs from Yatsugatake and wasanbon sugar from Kagawa Prefecture.
This goes very well with coffee and makes your sweet time even more exciting.
I think it was not possible to take it out before, but when I visited the other day, takeout was finally allowed.
There are many sweets in the basement of the department store, but this cake is also recommended.
The interior of the store, which I visited for the first time in a while, has the same calm atmosphere even after the coronavirus pandemic.
It is a shop where you can enjoy authentic coffee, sweets, and alcohol at your leisure, almost forgetting that you are inside a department store.
