🍜 Coffee House TIROL珈琲亭 ちろる

Founded in 1939, it is the oldest café in Asahikawa. It temporarily closed during the second generation, but after the heartfelt pleas from many customers, the manager took over the name and building, and it finally reopened in 2011. The interior, with its red brick walls and high-backed seats, is filled with a nostalgic atmosphere, creating a relaxing and unique space. TIROL only uses specialty coffee beans. With its own roasting method, it offers three different types of coffee beans: light roast, medium roast, and dark roast, allowing customers to taste the variations in aroma and flavor. After ordering, each cup is carefully brewed by hand, ensuring that the coffee's flavor is not diminished, allowing you to enjoy the original deliciousness of the coffee beans. The water used for brewing coffee comes from the springs of Kuro-matsu, praised for its smooth texture. A variety of dishes are available to pair with the coffee. You can enjoy handmade pancakes, sundae ice cream, and homemade soft serve ice cream made with Okoppe (おこっぺ) milk. The meal options are also quite rich, making it a great place to enjoy lunch.

Asahikawa's oldest coffee shop has reopened after some time, allowing visitors to enjoy a relaxing moment in its retro and unique interior. They select specialty coffee beans, and you can feel the shop's commitment through their in-house roasting and the quality of the water used. The food options are abundant, and the handmade dishes have a gentle texture that pairs wonderfully with the coffee.
