A retro boutique cafe hidden in a street corner in Nagoya

Nagoya coffee shop "Kako" (カコ) is a retro boutique coffee shop hidden in a street corner, famous for its hand-brewed coffee and nostalgic atmosphere. The store was renovated from an old-style house, retaining the wooden structure and antique furniture from the Showa era. It is paired with dim lights and music from a vinyl record player, creating a tranquil feeling as if time has stopped. The specialty is the medium-light roasted single-origin coffee carefully selected by the owner. The citrus flavor of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is recommended, paired with Nagoya's specialty "Ogura Toast" - thick-cut toast spread with red bean paste and cream. There are few seats in the store, with only a bar and two small tables. It emphasizes the philosophy of "slowly savoring" and has become a secret base for local hipsters and coffee lovers. It is recommended to visit during the weekday mornings to avoid the crowded hours on weekends. #MarchGoodPlaces2025
