16. Mild and clean to the taste [home-roasted coffee beans store Ritorubarei] at Miyabi, Kyoto / Nishioji

The roasting machine next to the entrance is the owner Mr. Kotani's partner. For about 20 years since he purchased the machine, he has been conducting his own research on roasting and blending beans. The results are three blends: "Kyo Miyabi," which is refreshing and smooth, "Kyo Takumi," which has a rich, bitter taste and is very satisfying to drink, and "Kyo Kakimi," which is perfect for iced coffee. In addition, about 15 single-origin coffee blends, which have been added in response to requests, are also available.

Owner Takato Kotani purchased a roasting machine in 1999 and began roasting his own coffee. 30 years after retiring early from his job, he opened his long-sought-after coffee shop in August 2019. Born in Kyoto
