A cup of coffee to drink in the morning is just like a "switch". The day I drank good coffee made me feel better and I feel like I'm off to a good start. As a coffee enthusiast, I also need a cup of coffee in the morning.

That's why, if you're always on the lookout for a store where you can drink delicious coffee, it seems that there is a store in Aoyama that offers "the best coffee in Paris." The most delicious food in Paris, the city of gastronomy ...? This can only be confirmed by actually drinking it. I headed to Aoyama at once.

The name of the shop is "COUTUME". It is located along Kotto-dori, a few minutes walk from Omotesando Station. The popular pancake shop " Clinton Street Baking Company " introduced earlier and the apple pie specialty shop " Granny Smith " are also lined up, making it a "gourmet street".

When you enter the store, you will feel a dazzling cleanliness. Indirect lighting gently illuminates the white-based interior, and sunlight shines through the wide windows. Even though it's indoors, it's like an open terrace.

First, order at the counter. Today, I chose the medium size of "Latte" (450 yen) and the baked confectionery "Croquembouche" (280 yen). Receive the croquembouche and coffee number tag from the showcase and take a seat.

so. As some of you may have noticed, when you order at a cafe, drinks usually come out first and you often receive a number tag for the food menu. However, in Coutume, it seems that some waiting time is required for the coffee that the barista carefully makes after receiving the order.

However, the coffee was delivered in about 5 minutes without having to wait for a long time. Amber espresso and pure white milk are beautifully mixed and "leaf" latte art is applied.

When you bring the glass to your mouth, the mellow scent tickles your nose. When you take a sip, the fine milk floss is slightly smooth! The floss thickness and temperature are optimal. The bitterness is not too strong, but it is not too watery. Bitterness, mellowness, richness, and fragrance are perfectly balanced , holding hands to complete one "work" called "latte"!

It's mellow enough without adding sugar. The back mouth is also gentle, and you will want to enjoy the afterglow forever. Personally, it's one of the top 3 coffees I've had in Tokyo in the past . Is this the coffee that is at the top of Paris ...!

Of course, the couture has a meal menu, but the main character is coffee . Drinking good coffee while gazing out the window makes me feel like I'm in Paris (although I've never been there). If you don't have time to drink coffee slowly, you can To go, so please experience the taste of "Paris Ichi" once.
