Well, I didn\u2019t expect anything in the first place. I just thought after so many Tokyo trips, I should really go to somewhere new. So, what\u2019s Nagoya really like?<\/p>\n<p>For a start, it doesn\u2019t have nice coffee. When I do research for my trips, the first thing I\u2019ll find is adorable cafes. While I\u2019ve been to many good ones in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and even Sapporo, there were none I could locate in Nagoya. The best coffee I could find was in my hotel room, where I brew drip bags from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/urbancoffeeroaster\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Urban Coffee Roasters<\/a>. The second best coffee was at Starbucks Reserve, where they serve single origin small lot coffee with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starbucks.com\/coffee\/learn\/clover\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Clover machine<\/a>. Well, that\u2019s better than none.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about coffee in Japan, an honourable mention is that at 7-Eleven. It\u2019s often said that each convenience store brand has a famous item. 7-Eleven is for its coffee; Lawson is for its fried chicken. I still haven\u2019t found what is from Family Mart though. Let me know if you have your own favourite.<\/p>\n<p>However I did go to a nice cafe that serves speciality coffee during this trip. It was when I was in Takayama, a truly remote place (judging by its lack of street light during the night). This was a real surprise because I didn\u2019t plan the visit in advance. I just walked past that place and thought it was nice. What\u2019s better? I was the only customer during my visit, meaning I could really enjoy a peace of mind while I was there. This is something Tokyo couldn\u2019t offer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/anzyme.com\/theone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC04360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anzyme.com\/theone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC04360.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/anzyme.com\/theone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC04360-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anzyme.com\/theone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC04360-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/anzyme.com\/theone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC04360-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/anzyme.com\/theone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/DSC04360-300x169@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.travellercoffeehouse.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Traveller Coffee House<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[TBC]<\/p>\n<h3>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hk01.com\/\u5373\u6642\u570b\u969b\/239122\/\u540d\u53e4\u5c4b\u518d\u7372\u9078\u70ba-\u6700\u7121\u9b45\u529b\u57ce\u5e02-\u5e02\u9577\u7121\u5948-\u4e0d\u8a8d\u771f\u601d\u8003\u4e0d\u884c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.hk01.com\/\u5373\u6642\u570b\u969b\/239122\/\u540d\u53e4\u5c4b\u518d\u7372\u9078\u70ba-\u6700\u7121\u9b45\u529b\u57ce\u5e02-\u5e02\u9577\u7121\u5948-\u4e0d\u8a8d\u771f\u601d\u8003\u4e0d\u884c<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nagoya is rated the most boring city in Japan.1 That\u2019s what I learnt after I bought my ticket to Nagoya one month ago.
