The Kansai Café     Coffee, Espresso - Beer, Sake

Kansai:    Western Japan.     The area that includes Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe

I have passion for coffee and for Japan.  
I lived in the Kansai area of Japan for a total of six years.  
I've been drinking coffee for even longer!

The Kansai Café combines Family, friends, coffee & Japan all in one place!

    What is the Kansai Café?              

    Imagine you had your own personal Café in your home. It contained all your
    favorite things and reflected your main interests. Wouldn't that be your favorite
    place in the house?        It is for me.  

    The Kansai Café is my hobby and my favorite Café, I invite you to visit
    and make it yours as well.  You can find the Kansai Cafe on Facebook too!

    If a man is lucky he will have a place in the house that is "his".

    For many guys it is the garage or a basement workshop. Maybe it is a den or a sports room.

    I have always enjoyed places like Borders Books or Barnes & Noble.
    Coffee, books and a place to read or chat with a friend.

    In the finished half of our basement is "The Kansai Café".
    A great place to read, drink coffee or chat.

    The Café seats 12 people easily and has a large coffee product menu.
    Coffee, espresso, tea, soft-drinks, beer, Japanese sake and so on. (Comfortable Max. = 30 people)

    There are 457 books on Japan.  There is also live NHK TV from Japan.

    If you love great coffee and good conversation... you will love the Kansai Café.

Simple is best

               * Home roasted coffee
              * Ground by hand
              * Coffee by pour over method
              * Espresso by hand-press method (presso)

I just got a new (bigger) coffee roaster for the Kansai Café!   

It does up to a pound (454grams) of coffee per batch.  After it
"de-gases" for 3 days it is ready to grind & drink.
These are the "old fashioned" coffee makers
that are in current use.  A "vacuum pot" is in
the back and various "pour over" methods are
in the front. No plastic ever touches the
coffee. No paper coffee filters are used.
Great taste, very basic and "green".
The Kansai Cafe
has a kotatsu!

A kotatsu is a low
table with a heater
built in.
A perfect foot and
leg warmer. Very
traditional.

New items in the Kansai Cafe;   A HARIO kettle for pour over
style coffee. A kone filter by COAVA.     A 1 liter coffee maker
pot by CHEMEX.     Add "home roast" to the mix and you have
a GREAT cup of coffee!
A fully operational PACHINKO machine has
been added to the Kansai Café
entertainment line up!

Drink, chat, watch live (NHK) TV from
Japan, sing Karaoke and play Pachinko!
