Café

I guess ther are many cyclists who love coffee.

If you go cycling toward Osaki or Shibushi, why don’t you stop by Café Karen to drink a cup of coffee?

The café is run by an old man who supports ethnic minorities of the northern Thailand.

When you have a seat at the café, hot herb water is served first. Lemongrass, cinnamon and chamomile flavor water tastes refreshing.

He says the coffee beans used at the café comes from Chiang Rai province of Thailand.

It is said that the production of coffee beans there were started for the ethnic minorities’ livelihood instead of the production of opium poppies.

 

I believe you can feel the atmosphere of the northern Thailand while drinking coffee there.

You can also buy some Thai goods there.

If you want to drink coffee after finishing the cycling, I recommend you to visit “Café Volcano”.

I think the logo mark with a Sakurajima motif may catch your eyes.

When you enter the café, you are supposed to see chic and simple designed furniture, and a little photo gallery.

The coffee beans are roasted with lava of Sakurajima and the coffee is brewed using flannel drip method.

This is the special made Lava Coffee Roasting Machine

*Can you see the Lava of Sakurajima?

The owner says that the coffee brewed with the beans becomes milder in taste.

Why don’t you taste Sakurajima Lava Roast Coffee?
