Cafe "ambers" Opens Near Kuramae Station

Cafe "ambers" opened on November 1 near Kuramae Station (Kotobuki 3, Taito-ku). It is operated by HAT (Kotobuki 3), which runs the latte art cafe "HAT COFFEE." It is the company's new venue following HAT COFFEE, which president Kohei Matsuno opened in 2018. The new cafe has a different name and does not serve latte art.

Concept: "A room I love, where I want to be"

The space keeps parts of the exposed concrete and combines vintage and mid-century furniture. Built around wood and a mortar floor, it uses dark green as an accent color on the counter, and the logo is the same green. Each chair has a different shape, and there are 22 seats. "I hope people will sit wherever they like depending on their mood, and find their favorite chair," says Matsuno.

A Cafe Gathering Amber-Colored Things

The name comes from the English word "amber." The pendant lights hanging from the ceiling reminded the owners of dripping syrup, and because amber-colored things such as maple syrup, beer, espresso, and tea are gathered here, the name is in the plural.

Pancakes by Day, Snacks and Drinks by Night

During the day, the cafe mainly serves pancakes. The most popular is the sweet-and-savory meal-style pancake topped with bacon. At night, it offers snacks created by the chef along with alcoholic drinks. Picture rails are installed on the pillars, and the cafe plans to hold solo exhibitions by friends of its designer staff members.

Opening hours: 9:00–22:00.
