Komi coffee — Restaurant in Koya

The initial draw to this cute cafe was the egg coffee but the curry hit the spot! The POS machine has an English option and is easy to understand and navigate while ordering. The red curry called to me during the brisk weather and I was pleasantly surprised at the heat level (normally it's sadly underwhelming). It was perfectly balanced with the light taste of coconut milk(?), vegetables, chicken, and the heat 🌶️ was a nice slow burn. It did not overtake the flavor of the entire curry (but it was a bit too spicy for my friend). The egg coffee is a black coffee with an egg yolk.

Amazing cafe for many reasons. Great drinks, food, I even got a second hand kimono on sale there. But the best of all… I had a classic stamp book which I’d been slowly using over weeks to gather stamps from all over Japan.

I phoned them up and they very very very kindly sent it in the post all the way to the UK. I am beyond greatful for this kind act, it will forever stay as a core memory of my time in japan. Without a shadow of a doubt I’ll be seeking out this cafe upon my return to Japan. Thank...
