コーヒーと喫茶店と盛岡 Coffee, Coffee Shop and Morioka
Morioka City in Iwate Prefecture is said to be a town where "coffee and coffee shop culture take root" with many old coffee shops. There are also many coffee shops selling coffee beans, and the city once had the second largest coffee consumption in Japan (according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Survey of Household Economy" (2022)). In this story, our writer, who lives in Morioka, will introduce you to seven coffee shops. For example, the one that has the longest history in Morioka, the one that is like hideouts and the one that serve coffee with a special flavor.
特別な焙煎機を使用！人気のコーヒー専門店「Nagasawa COFFEE」"Nagasawa COFFEE"
お店に入ってすぐ目に入るのは、大きな焙煎機。こちらはドイツから輸入し、専門業者でレストアとカスタムを行い「Nagasawa COFFEE」仕様になった特別な焙煎機だそう。
"Nagasawa COFFEE" which is located about 10 minutes by car or 20 minutes on foot from Morioka Station purchases green coffee beans , roasts, and serves all of them. The aroma of coffee wafts from the open-plan store, and customers from outside Iwate also visit this coffee specialty store.
When we enter the store, we can see a large roasting machine. This is a special one imported from Germany, restored and customized by a specialist to "Nagasawa COFFEE" specifications.

路地裏の隠れ家的な喫茶店「珈琲・うつわ わたなべ」"Coffee and Utsuwa Watanabe"
お店につくと手書きの看板が目に入りました。こちらは陶芸作家の奥様が、消しゴムはんこを加工してデザインした作品だそう。
店内のほとんどは、ご夫婦のお二人が約一か月かけてリノベーションをされ、うつわなどの作品も並んでいます。コーヒー豆は岩手県平泉町にあるご実家で焙煎されたものです。癒しの空間で至福の一杯を楽しんでみませんか？
Walking for 10 minutes from Morioka Station, "Coffee and Utsuwa Watanabe" is a hideaway coffee shop located on a back street a short distance from the house of newlyweds of Takuboku Ishikawa(a Japanese famous poet from Iwate).
Ariving at the shop, I saw a handcrafted sign. This is a work of art designed by his wife, a ceramic artist, by processing an eraser stamp.
Most of inside the shop was renovated by the couple of the owner over a period of about a month. There are works of vessels and other artwork. Coffee beans this shop uses are roasted at their family home in Hiraizumi Town, Iwate. Why not enjoy a cup of bliss in this healing space?

南部鉄器とコーヒーの新たな出会い「お茶とてつびん engawa」"Tea and Tetsubin engawa"
店内には鉄瓶ギャラリーも併設されています。専属のスタッフさんが、鉄瓶の使い方や鉄瓶にまつわる様々な豆知識などを、丁寧に説明してくださいますよ！
"Tea and Tetsubin engawa" is located a 10-minute drive or 25-minute walk from Morioka Station. The coffee is brewed by boiling water in an iron kettle made of Nambu Tekki, a traditional craft made in Morioka and Oshu in Iwate . The coffee havs a smooth texture, perhaps because the iron is dissolved in the water. These coffee beans are from "BOUND COFFEE" in Zaimoku-cho, Morioka, which the owner spent about a year to find.
The shop also has a tetsubin gallery. The dedicated staff will explain in detail how to use the tetsubin and various trivia related to tetsubin!

どこか懐かしい喫茶店「オンディーヌ」"Ondine"
店の看板メニューは昔ながらのナポリタン。太めの麺にクリーミーなトマトソースが絡まりボリューム満点！「オンディーヌ」に訪れる半分以上のお客さんがナポリタンを注文するそう。サラダにスープ、コーヒーまでセットになっていて大満足のメニューです。
Walking for 15 minutes from Morioka Station, "Ondine" is a coffee shop on the second floor of a building in Morioka Main Street which is Morioka's famous shopping district. The entrance to "Ondine" is a small light blue door on the book floor, past the bookstore on the first floor and up a flight of stairs.
The shop's signature dish is the traditional neapolitan. The creamy tomato sauce is mixed with the thick noodles, making for a hearty meal! More than half of the customers who visit "Ondine" order this. This menu includes a salad, soup, and coffee, making us satisfied.

盛岡駅前で40年の老舗喫茶店「カプチーノ詩季」"Cappuccino Shiki"
看板メニューはエスプレッソとカプチーノ。合わせてチョコバナトーストを注文するのがオススメ！アイスとチョコソースの甘さとコーヒーがとっても合います！
Walking for 3 minutes from Morioka Station, "Cappuccino Shiki" is a long-established coffee shop that opened in 1982. It is a coffee shop with a long history. When night trains used to stop at Morioka Station, it used to open at 6:30 a.m. to welcome customers who arrived early in the morning. The large espresso pot in front of the shop was installed in imitation of old European streets where objects of what is served are hung instead of signs!
The signature menu items are espresso and cappuccino. I recommend ordering a chocolate banana toast with them. The sweetness of the ice cream and chocolate sauce goes so well with the coffee!
