Yanagawa Cafe

Yanagawa Cafe (Japanese: 柳川珈琲店) is a place located in the Special Zone E of Shinkomi. It is further located in the Residential District of Enchō.

It is a café run by Yanagawa Owner, an elderly man.

It is only a short 5 minutes walk away from Murase Clinic. Thus, Towa and his acquaintances often stop by at it. Towa had walked past the café before and was intrigued by the atmosphere peering through the windows. He was pleasantly surprised when he went in.

Map Location
The cafe is located Westward from Doraku Street Shopping District. Towards the Southeast side are Murase Clinic and Towa's Studio.

Description
It is one of the most popular places for lunch in the area.

It has been in business for about 20 years. It is at best, retro, with an ageing exterior and interior that gives it an unique atmosphere. It also has a cozy and relaxed atmosphere.

The music is always relaxing, and the customers are always having a good time.

Menu
The café sells hand-ground coffee and honey toast.

It is especially famous for its Honey Toast. Taku who doesn't like sweet things, likes the honey toast here. He states that it is because the natural sweetness of the honey; and the way the bread is cooked, reminds him of the pancakes he used to eat during childhood. Even Towa who is infamous for his almost non-existent appetite, is able to at least eat some of the honey toast in the café.

Patronage
Many of the customers are regulars who have come for lunch, and many of them seated are familiar faces. The menu is a little on the expensive side. However, that has not stopped the café from having a long and loyal following.

One can see customers sipping coffee with a newspaper in one hand, or enjoying the famous honey toast in another.
