Coffee shop chain "Komeda Coffee Shop" from Nagoya. On December 1st, the morning menu was renewed and " Choice of Morning " began. Furthermore, on the 14th, the coffee " Azuki Komachi" containing red bean paste was released, and its novelty has become a hot topic.

The author (young lady) who was interested in both of them suddenly came up with the idea. "If you order a new breakfast, you may be able to drink Azuki Komachi and have two birds with one stone." I have to try this!

◆ Infiltrate the head office in Nagoya

For some reason, the author, who was staying in Nagoya, visited the main store (Mizuho-ku, Nagoya), which is about a 20-minute walk from the hotel. At 6:30, the opening time .

In front of a store like a log house, the aura of "coffee shop" oozes out and calms down. I was surprised that there were already a little less than 10 customers in the store.


◆ Let's order "C set"

The breakfast at the store is that your favorite drink comes with "toast and a dish" for free. In "Choice of Morning", in addition to the conventional boiled eggs, you can now choose "Handmade Egg Paste" and "Nagoya Specialty Ogura An".

Ogura An's set is "C set". I will order this and the standard blended coffee.


First, paint the toast with red bean paste. The saltiness of butter and the sweetness of red bean paste go perfectly together. I'm glad that "Ogura toast" can be easily eaten in the morning!

By the way, I also like the thick slices of toast. When did you come to Tokyo (I'm from Hyogo prefecture) and was shocked by the fact that eight slices of bread were really on sale?


◆ Try to make an example

Finally, let's try coffee with red bean paste, that is, "Ogura Komachi Modoki". Add the red bean paste that was left unpainted on the toast to the coffee. However, the author took the chicken action of adding about half a spoon of red bean paste to the coffee, which is only about a quarter left.


Well, what is the taste? To put it simply, is it coffee with sugar? It has a slight sweetness and is surprisingly comfortable to drink. It's interesting because it's a little thick, probably because the mashed bean paste is melted. The azuki bean grains that remain on the bottom can be eaten as if they were zenzai. This is definitely an ant .

By the way, the real Azuki Komachi seems to be served with Ogura bean paste in advance. Probably, I think that it is finished in a well-balanced salt plum, so the "modoki" by the author will not reach my feet. However, if you don't have the courage to order coffee with red bean paste, try this one-stone, two-bird trick.

◆ First Extreme work!

As an aside, why did I go to Komeda early in the morning? To get to the office in Tokyo by 10 o'clock, I had to take the Shinkansen departing at 8:03, and the hotel breakfast was not in time. When I looked it up, the main store was open from 6:30, and it was reasonably close to the hotel. In this way, Komeda's main store debuted.
