There is a coffee shop in a block of the Odakyuu Department Store.
They serve me a cup of Shogun coffee.
In the end of 19th century, the last Tokugawa shogun Cake(慶喜)had lots of hobbies after the coup d'Etat of the terrorist gouvernment( their gouverment lead Japan to the continuation of wars to be defeated by America).
One of his famous hobby was photography. And making coffee was the one of his hobby. He made a coffee to serve to his servants and maids and his family members.
One of his grand-children who enjoyed the coffee remembers the taste and finds the recipe. He trys to make the coffee and succeeds it.
So, I can enjoy the taste of the last Tokugawa Shogun's coffee, now.
