Hotaka

From the moment you enter the store, the hustle and bustle of Ochanomizu disappears like a lie, and "Hotaka" is a place where you can feel the time slowly and calmly, as if you were lost in a different world. When you exit the ticket gate of Ochanomizu Station, you will see "Hotaka", a lodge-style restaurant that suddenly appears while there are many chain restaurants on the left and right. I thought that I was going to enter the store, and the store owner opened the door and welcomed me warmly. The interior is too Showa lodge-like and well-maintained, and you can see that everyone values ​​the store. Immediately ordered "Thomas Marmalade & Margarine 450 yen" and "Coffee 600 yen January 2021". When you receive it, the coffee with strong acidity has a refreshing and relaxing taste, and you can enjoy plenty of milk and adjust it to your liking. Of particular note is "toast." It's relatively thinly sliced, but the outside is crispy and the inside is chewy, and the sweetness of marmalade and the slight acidity combine to make it delicious. It was by far the best toast in the coffee shop I received recently. The appearance of the shopkeeper looking out from the window is like a scene from a movie. In a world where the shopkeeper has colored all the atmosphere created by the shop, time will slowly flow by becoming a resident of that world ... "Hotaka" who feels such a different world makes my heart I was healed.

I can't convey my ephemeral feelings ... Goodbye Summer Day / 2021 Can you come back to Hotaka? Finally to see the picture of Mt. Tsurugi hung on the wall ... In this shop The autograph of Jiro Nitta is displayed. Paintings are displayed on the other walls, and it seems that the paintings change with the seasons. This autumn, it became a picture of Mt. Tsurugi. Mt. Tsurugi in the Northern Alps was once said to be unexplored and was feared as a mountain that should never be climbed. I would like to read the novel "Mt. Every time I drink coffee here I remember my school days. It's a coffee with a deep taste that feels something kind, which hasn't changed even after nearly 40 years. I'm worried that a building will be built behind the Ochanomizu station platform due to a major renovation. It is one of the historical shops in Ochanomizu that I want you to keep as it is. postscript: This shop was founded more than 60 years ago and was rebuilt about 10 years ago. Would you like to change the atmosphere of the entrance and interior as much as possible? It's a wonderful renewal, and it feels like nothing has changed, but it's a more spacious space than it used to be, and of course, it's a non-smoking and healing space. Without a doubt, this is a Japanese coffee shop. By the way, the other day, I saw a hand pick of coffee beans at the counter of the shop. It's a job to produce coffee with a gentle taste. It is impossible to imitate a chain store called a cafe these days, so I would like it to be a coffee shop cultural property.

A coffee shop on the street lined with miscellaneous shops. The inside of the store has a calm atmosphere and is comfortable. The store opens at 8am and coffee is a little cheaper until around 10am. Good location 15 seconds from the Hijiribashi exit ticket gate.

It's located right next to the Hijiribashi exit of Ochanomizu station, so it's easy to use, so it's always full of people. It is a coffee shop that is considerably noisy than the calm interior and atmosphere. It's completely non-smoking, so it's easier to enter. The door is always open and ventilation is sufficient.

It is very close to Ochanomizu Station. Is it between Shin-Ochanomizu Station and Ochanomizu Station? There are rows such as Cozy Corner. With disinfection and without temperature measurement. It is prohibited to shoot inside the store and on the menu, and there is also a description outside the store. Please be careful ☺️ * The menu should not be taken as much as possible. I asked for permission to take a photo, but it was NG ? By the way, no one was in the store, but ? It seems to be prohibited, not permitted. The atmosphere is nice, so if people aren't in the picture, it's okay to shoot. I think that there are many regulars, so maybe you don't want to buzz. I ordered the following 2 items. ・ Toast (margarine & marmalade jam) 450 yen * Orders for toast only are not possible It's a normal toast, and it's not bad at all, but for butter, it's salty and milky, and the marmalade jam has a strong bitterness, so I didn't like it. It was said that the toast was delicious, but if you like bread, it's not bad, but it wasn't enough to praise it ? ・ Cafe au lait 750 yen It was full of milk, but the taste was light. The milk itself seems to be from Hokkaido. It's convenient, but it's quite expensive, probably because it includes land charges. Ice tea is also 750 yen ... I don't usually add ★ 2, but honestly, there are many delicious and good cafes in the neighborhood. The air conditioning was cold and I couldn't take off my coat. To be honest, I couldn't understand why it was so highly rated. The shop is neither good nor bad. Generally, it is a normal ★ 3, but it is 2.5 because it is inconvenient and the price is not balanced. Payment is cash only. There is a note on the outside of the store, so we recommend reading it before entering the store ☺️ It may be good for those who like Showa retro coffee shops.
