Kugutsu-sou (くぐつ草)

No.001

Kugutsu-sou is a fashionable cafe for a moment that exists which is in Kichijoji-city of the liveliest young person in the Musashino area, west of Tokyo.

The entrance stand still quietly in the corner of the shopping mall where many people come and go every day. The arch of a black plastron seems to start inviting the person who prepares, is given [no] decoration, and comes the Gothic to the another world.

When the dark stairs where a small lamp lights up are descended, like the way of a secret hideout in the cave there.

The dim inside of a store does the ceiling of the arch type like the cave turned over. The air of substance that recycles wood with an old chair and table as it is is caused. The decoration of the inside of a store is calculated atmosphere in top priority as if the setting of the fantasy movie and draws in the coming person to the world of fantasy by what done to attach.

That should be so, "kugutsu" means pappet in old Japanese, and this cafe has been managed by puppet theater "Yukiza" since 1979.

My favorite in here is thick Black Coffee and a set of the bread pudding cake.

Everything in this cafe has feeling deferent world from reality, this make you feeling strangeness at a moment, so really nice place i think.

please visit once by all means!
