FreeLance — Restaurant in Otaru

I love the Coffee with whipped cream. And the ice cream with red bean paste (cream zenzai)

The music, of course is jazz, very impromptu and free style.

The deco or pretty much many things in the cafe that are quite interesting. He has many cd, records, jazz magazine, retro chairs and dark colored tables.

The cafe is definitely one of a kind.

Do come here for a different experience. Price is not cheap but it’s good to support the local business.

It was raining and for us to rest in this cozy cafe with beautiful jazz music, is definitely one of the highlights for me in Otaru.

Looks like the chocolate cake is recommended here, which I will order the next time I am here.

Oh, smoking is allowed....

What immediately caught our attention was the rugged, run-down yet charming building adorned with overgrown creepers. Intrigued, we stepped inside and discovered a cozy little café-bar. As we sipped our drinks, we soaked in the soothing jazz music playing softly in the dimly lit ambiance. It felt as though we had been transported to a timeless world, far removed from reality. We could have stayed there forever.

The highlight of our visit was the sweet and endearing uncle who prepared our drinks. His quiet, steady demeanor added a heartfelt touch to the experience. This quaint spot truly made our visit to Otaru...

Photo posters of Daido Moriyama’s “Near Equal” and Robert Mapplethorpe’s “Patti Smith” knocked me out! Oh, heaven. I was bit of feeling in Goldengai in Shinjuku or Kiyamachi in Kyoto. There’s so much signs about leftist’s political message too. Coffee is good quality. You can chose some alcohol drinks such as local Otaru wine, Nikki’s apple cider and so on. Also you can enjoy nice jazz collections by high spec...
