It was one of the first cafes in kyoto to offer coffee made from roasted straight beans from around the world. in 1966, when it expanded to the first floor and changed its name to "basement store," it only operated as a bar, but in 1985 it began operating as a cafe. in a relaxed atmosphere furnished with leather sofas, savoring a cup of deep-flavored coffee brewed one cup at a time using paper drip is truly blissful. it still operates as a bar in the evenings, so you can enjoy it at any time of the day.
