Fukumame

If you prefer coffee with restrained acidity and bitterness, Fukumame Blend may be worth considering. Those who have tried it describe a light, clean taste. Unsure which beans to choose? You can explain what you like and ask for advice. One customer, who usually uses a Moka pot and prefers lower acidity, says Cafe Amaro was recommended to them.

Reviews also mention purchases of single-origin beans and peaberry coffee, not just blends. One drinker recalls the peaberry’s fragrant, full-bodied character, and says the beans swelled when hot water was poured over them. Choosing beans for a cup brewed at home can be part of the pleasure. Several customers also mention enjoying a cup of coffee when they bought beans—a welcome chance to try the shop’s coffee before or after choosing what to take home.

You can drink in or take your coffee away. One review describes having an iced coffee on the terrace, so Fukumame suits both a stop for a cup and a visit to pick up beans.
