With the increase in the number of trips to Japan in recent years, Nagoya, a "second-tier city" located in the middle of the Japanese island, has also gradually attracted attention. Its unique food culture, eel three eats, pork chop rice, fried chicken wings, Miso Udon and other "Nagoya rice" needless to say, café breakfast culture is also a highlight of Nagoya travel.
If you can stay in Nagoya for a day and don't want to go to any attractions, then this shopping route can be recommended for everyone as a reference.
Nagoya is the birthplace of Japan's café breakfast culture, and when you walk down the street, you will find cafes everywhere, and coffee culture is integrated into the daily life of Nagoya people. The traditional café breakfast is a cup of coffee and accompanied by a sandwich or toast for breakfast, and the portions are definitely very good value, you can feel the full sincerity of the café.
This time, I would like to make a strong recommendation for this old coffee shop not far from Nagoya Station - the first coffee shop in Nagoya that was established in 1972 to use its own roasted coffee beans. The interior of the store is very small, with stained glass windows, antique chandeliers, and decorations with a strong Showa atmosphere.
Needless to say, the coffee brewed by the boss himself is delicious, and the small warehouse red bean toast drizzled with the boss's homemade various jams is definitely a double enjoyment of vision and taste, many Japanese people are admiring, often just after opening the store has been lined up, if it is a weekend must arrange plenty of time.
The type of jam changes depending on the season and the mood of the boss, but this time you will find four flavors: strawberry, kiwifruit, pineapple, and orange. Freshly baked toast is coated with butter, kokura red beans, cream and jam, the crispy toast and the sweetness and softness of the red bean cream, coupled with the rich taste of the different sweet and sour sauces, even people who don't like jam will fall in love with it, and they can't stop eating.

Lunch option is a curry shop 10 minutes walk from the venue. From the name of the store " Abbey Road " , it can be seen that the owner is a Beatles fan. When you enter the door, you will see a huge classic photograph of a whole wall, the beatles' music echoing in the store, the owner's careful collection of Beatles-related items everywhere, and even the trays for serving dishes are printed with beatles.
A must-order is this signature dish, Special Curry. This curry developed by the owner to reproduce the legendary curry, so that food experts flock to it, the rice variety is said to be the first frost of Gifu Prefecture, this kind of rice is not too sticky is the best combination of curry. Five days of boiling time makes the curry seasonings harmonious, even with a hint of fruit. There is a certain degree of spiciness, and it will not feel greasy and difficult to digest at all.
After a full meal of curry, you can order a cup of coffee with chocolate cake, the thick and mellow taste even makes people have the illusion of eating chocolate directly, which is the perfect match for coffee. At this time, you can stand up and inspect the books placed around the store, and the owner's taste for books is very good, and there are popular magazines and niche reading materials. With a book about a local Nagoya café, coffee and Beatles music flowing through the shop, you can spend the perfect afternoon.
