The hugely popular kitchen car "TANTAN" serving hand-dripped coffee and cubed bread will be reborn as "Tantan Coffee Shop" on October 2024, 10. It is located in the Unitas Foreign Language Institute Kofu Main Campus Building No. 15 in Takara, Kofu City, and the entrance is around the back and up the stairs to the second floor.

Behind the sign is a quiet, hidden restaurant. It's the kind of place you'll want to keep just for yourself.

After taking off your shoes and entering the store, you'll be greeted by a small, cozy space with mainly counter seats and two tables.

The cube bread, which has been popular since the days of the food truck, is available for take-out, but if you dine in, it will be re-baked to a golden golden brown, so you're sure to discover new flavors.

It's also nice to be able to sit at the counter and watch the entire process of brewing, an experience that is truly luxurious. Every time hot water is poured, the coffee beans swell up into a plump dome shape, slide through the nap of the cloth filter, and drop quietly as a black liquid.
The sight of the hand holding the pot moving slowly and carefully, and then the hand holding the Metto filter moving with suppleness and delicacy, is truly an impressive work of craftsmanship that leaves you mesmerized.

Today we have "Wiener Coffee" with a retro Showa-era flavor.
Set the sugar in a bowl and pour in strong, aromatic coffee with just the right amount of bitterness. Top with plenty of lightly whipped cream.
With the first sip, you feel the smoothness of the cold cream on your lips, and the bitter coffee slides into your mouth. Stir lightly to enjoy the slightly sweet, creamy, and rich flavor, and finally, scoop up the brown sugar remaining at the bottom with a spoon and eat it. This one spoonful brings you a moment of indescribable bliss.

The toast menu is perfect to enjoy with your coffee! The chef's homemade mountain-shaped bread is sliced ​​thick and simply toasted with butter. The butter soaks in, bringing out the deliciousness of the bread.

The croque monsieur, which also has a homemade white sauce, is a recommended dish for lunch. The cheese melts in your mouth and you can eat it with your fingers, crunching it just like a Parisian.

For something sweet after a meal, try the Retro Pudding. It's not too hard, not too smooth, and has just the right amount of springiness! The bittersweet caramel flavor goes perfectly with coffee.

Also included is the recently popular "Shakerato O Le"!
This is an Italian version of iced coffee, made by shaking it in a shaker like a cocktail, and it was surprisingly delicious! The fine foam makes it smooth on the palate. This is a very delicate drink, and a good shaker is a sign of the barista's skill. I would like to drink it at dusk, or add alcohol as a night tea.
Enjoy the ultimate coffee experience at Tantan Coffee Shop!
