The first shop in Nagoya to offer home-roasted coffee
Coffee House Kako is a coffee shop in Nagoya that was founded in 1972. The shop began when the coffee-loving owner inherited the shop from his friend's aunt. Located on the east side of Nagoya Station, within easy walking distance, the shop is known for being the first in Nagoya to offer in-house roasted coffee. When it first opened, it aimed to offer fresh, deep-flavored coffee, and quickly gained a reputation among locals. The owner says that in the days before canned coffee, he often delivered coffee orders to business districts. Even now, more than 50 years after its founding, the shop's commitment has remained unchanged, and it is so popular that lines form on weekends.

The birth of our special homemade jam

The impetus for starting to make homemade jam came from the hand-squeezed orange juice they served when they first opened. The owner's desire to "make ordinary things delicious" led him to offer fresh hand-squeezed juice. Feeling that it was a waste to throw away the orange peels that remained after squeezing the oranges, he began trial and error to see if he could make orange marmalade. "By washing the peels every day for a week and boiling them for three hours, I was able to remove the bitterness and make a delicious marmalade that I was satisfied with," the owner said happily.
A warm place where locals and tourists can take a break
