Fuglen : Tokyo Coffee Shop No, 4

Hi all!! I am back here again to post another coffee shop article!! 

As I mentioned before on my last post, I am back in Japan (hopefully let's say 'temporarily' )! For the time being, I will take advantage of this time to travel and catch up with friends.

But quite importantly, I should check out some nice coffee shops in Japan as well!! Since I have grown up my passion with coffee more whilst I was away in the UK (sometimes, some other countries ), I am highly curious what Japanese coffee scenes are like in here. 

I haven been looking into lots of places even when I was still in Brighton.  I am genuinely surprised how many specialty coffee shops are in here particularly just in Tokyo.

Anyways, as I have a plan to go to Tokyo for friend's reunion thing,  I might as well taste some coffee there.  I am actually not from Tokyo and my hometown is called Gunma. 

I got to Shibuya to meet up with my mate, but before that happened I had an hour of free time, so I checked on google map and found this place.  It is called 'Fuglen' !

Address : Tomigaya 1-16-11, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan

Check out that entrance!! How gorgeous does that look?! It is actually my very first specialty coffee shop visit in Tokyo, I felt like I am one of the coffee tourist in a way!! 

I was like, oh my god this looks really attractive!  The house is looking a Japanese old traditional style and as if this is just one of the someone's private house or something. 

I don't have many pictures of inside the shop unfortunately as it was quite busy and felt a bit bad to capture other customers. 

However you can kind of see as soon as you walk into the shop, there is a full of vintage furniture and an amazing collections of those.

The bar is so simply organized  and tidy considering  the fact they sell variety of alcohols, too!!

The staffs are super friendly and seemed to handle English as well.  Of course I used Japanese by the way!.lol

Espresso machine ; LA Marzocco Strada Grinder ; Major Mazzer 

Now, who wants to know what I had? Classic flat white!! 

It was 550 yen which is around £4, so I guess it seems to be expensive and understandable price. I was sat outside, coz it was really nice and chilled quite busy and a bit loud inside. 

I can't really tell why I was so nervous when I first had a sip of this coffee, I felt weird drinking specialty coffee in Tokyo after I did for 2 years in Brighton,

But anyway, coffee is coffee so I was like just do it and see how I feel.  OMG. It was really tasty!!!!  What a great flat white!! really silky smooth milk and great espresso. Latte art is also quite decent!! 

I felt like this is what I needed and It made up for my coffee loss from Brighton!! 

I was quite happy that I found this shop as my first one and made me discover more of these nice ones!! 

Apparently, there is another shop in Tokyo, so whenever you have chance, I would highly recommend to visit either one!  They offer amazing coffees and also people are great and interior they use is fantastic too!!! 

Anyway, I went to a different shop after this, so that one will be up on here soon! 

Cheers!! Y ​
