We Visited Einkonzert the Classical Music Café in Nigawa [Nishitsu Gourmet]

A relaxed moment in the late afternoon

I went to the coffee shop “あいんこんつぇると” in Nigawa, where you can listen to classical music played on records.

The Shop Exterior

Since I stopped by in the evening, the outside had such a nice atmosphere… The double bass (the big violin-like instrument) is the landmark🙂

What I Had That Day

Regular coffee☕, a half-size sandwich, and homemade rare cheesecake!(^^)!

For the sandwich, I chose corned beef! (The lightly toasted bread was filled with a rich, flavorful filling(^^) It was just the right amount for when you’re a little hungry.)

The regular coffee seems to be こんつぇると’s standard blend. The menu said they use carefully selected, high-quality coffee beans blended in-house and brew each cup with care.

The homemade rare cheesecake is made with 100% top-quality cream cheese! (It’s gently sweet, with an incredibly smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture (*^_^*) It pairs so well with the delicious coffee.)

Inside the Shop

It was around the time when it was starting to get dark outside, so the soft lighting inside felt really soothing(*^。^*)

When I entered, there were regular customers seated at the counter.

The shop is filled with records! (The black object in front is a large speaker♪)

You could see the record player through the glass from outside. On this day, flute and harpsichord music was playing～♪

Finally

With its nostalgic atmosphere, “あいんこんつぇると” has been running here for 42 years. The Nigawa River flows in front of the shop, and it’s located along a route where many students walk from Nigawa Station toward Kwansei Gakuin University.

Inside, instead of the crystal-clear sound of CDs, you can enjoy classical music from records, with a kind of luxurious warmth to it. It was a space where both the delicious coffee and the music truly put me at ease. When you want to enjoy a slow, relaxing moment, please stop by(^^)♪♪♪
