Nakagawa Canal connects Nagoya Port and the Sasashima area. It was once called the "Greatest Canal in the East." In a corner where industrial facilities such as factories and warehouses still remain, there is  "Coffee Gannen Nakagawa Honten".

Coffee Gannen Nakagawa Honten, is a cafe that is popular with a wide range of people, including students, families, and the elderly.

This time, we will introduce in detail the charm of the first year of coffee and the commitment to coffee!

A cafe run by Fuji Coffee, which has been in business for over 70 years
What is Coffee Gannen?

Coffee Gannen is a cafe operated by Fuji Coffee Co., Ltd., and has 6 stores mainly in Nagoya City. Fuji Coffee has a history of more than 70 years, and is a company that mainly processes (roasts and grinds) coffee beans mainly in Aichi, Gifu, Mie, and Nagano.

Utilizing the deep knowledge and know-how about coffee that we have cultivated over the years, they opened the Kiyosu store as our first coffee store in 1999. After that, Coffee Gannen Nakagawa Honten opened in 2016.

Under the theme of "from coffee plantations to coffee cups", each cup of carefully selected coffee is carefully hand-dripped and served.

The main attraction Coffee Gannen Nakagawa Honten is that you can enjoy coffee and meals right in front of the relaxing Nakagawa Canal.

Across the canal is the head office of Fuji Coffee

There are no tall buildings nearby, so the blue sky and the canal fill your view.

On days when there is no wind, the surface of the water is like a mirror, and the skyscrapers of Nagoya Station can be seen beyond the canal. The best season for outdoor terrace seating is autumn. Even in spring and winter, you can relax on days when there is no wind and the sun is shining.

The shop also has seats facing the canal, so you can also relax in a comfortable space. The restaurant is spacious, with 124 seats ranging from sofas to tables and counter seats. You can spend a fulfilling time alone gazing at the canal, reading a book, or chatting with friends and family.

After dusk, you can enjoy a magical atmosphere as the lights are reflected on the water surface of the canal.

Hand drip one cup at a time,
produce superior taste
Extraordinary commitment to coffee

Coffee Gannen Blend (with original rusk) 430 yen (tax included)

You can feel the strong commitment to coffee at Coffee Gannen, which is operated by Fuji Coffee, which roasts coffee.

Their most popular menu item, "Coffee Gannen Blend," is a complete original that they do not distribute to any coffee shops. 100% Arabica coffee beans that have passed the strict standards of coffee connoisseurs are roasted to perfection by skilled roasters with many years of experience.

The taste is tailored to the tastes of the people of Aichi Prefecture, and the president of Fuji Coffee himself mixes it so that you can feel the bitterness and the taste of coffee beans in a well-balanced taste.

Four types of beans are used in the blend: Fuji Coffee, Peruvian Achamaru, Mandheling, and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe.

In particular, "Peruvian Achamaru" grown by Japanese Mr. Katsuhiko Takahashi in Achamaru Village in Peru is a rare coffee exclusively purchased by Fuji Coffee, so it can be said that the taste is unique to the first year of coffee.

In addition, "Fuji Special", which wears the crown of Fuji Coffee, is a coffee with high potential that has a sweet aroma, sweetness, mellow aroma, bitterness and depth, so it is also a cup that you should try.

Coffee is hand-dripped one cup at a time. All employees have obtained the second grade of the Coffee Test.

In order to serve coffee to customers without sacrificing the flavor of the coffee beans, the technique of coffee brewing is also important. At Coffee Gannen, each cup of coffee is carefully brewed by hand drip. Although it takes a little longer than machine-brewed coffee, the reason why we use the time-consuming and labor-intensive hand-drip method is because we value the taste of the coffee.

Also, since all of their employees have acquired up to level 2 of the Coffee Test, they are able to stably provide high-quality coffee, which is one of the strengths of the first year of coffee.

All 8 types of morning breakfast until 13:00

In Coffee Gannen, morning breakfast menu is also fulfilling. If you order coffee, you can get 3 kinds of toast for free, and if you pay extra, you can eat 5 kinds of menus such as bread salad, hamburger, and hot dog.

Even if you say morning breakfast, you can order until 13:00! Coffee Gannen can offer a full-volume menu in the form of light food and drink, so it is said that morning breakfast is until 13:00 so that more customers can easily use it as a brunch menu. On weekdays and weekends, there are quite a few customers who come for lunch as well as for morning breakfast of the first year of coffee.

Pansara (bread plus salad) morning breakfast drink fee +360 yen (tax included)

Among them, the popular morning breakfast menu is "Pansara". Plenty of vegetables are topped with crispy toast, ham, egg salad, salted kelp, and eaten with dressing. The salad also contains Japanese ingredients such as okra, Chinese yam, and beans, and goes perfectly with salted kelp! It's an unexpected combination, but it's a very delicious and energetic menu.

In the past, one piece of toast was on the menu, but in response to the voices saying that it was "too voluminous", the price was reduced by cutting the bread in half.

Diverse menu from meals to sweets
Recommended menus

At Coffee Gannen, there are a wide variety of sweets, sandwiches, hamburgers, and more in addition to morning breakfast menu. Every menu is made with particular attention to ingredients and cooking methods, so you may have a hard time choosing, but here are some of the recommended menus.

The most popular sweets menu is the french toast. Each time an order is placed, it is soaked in an original pouring dough (batter mixed with several ingredients such as eggs, butter, and flour) and slowly baked.

Fresh fruit goes well with the sweet bread that spreads with a crunchy texture. It's delicious as it is, but if you eat it with ice cream or whipped cream with strawberry sauce, it's even more luxurious!

Fluffy egg sandwich

A dish of fluffy omelet and cucumber sandwiched between moist and soft bread. The mustard mayonnaise is just the right accent for the slightly sweet flavor of the tamagoyaki. In addition, crunchy cucumber adds crunchiness. It is a menu that overflows with deliciousness in your mouth with every bite.
