Miyajima Itsuki Coffee (伊都岐珈琲)

Itsuki Coffee is a popular café that has opened stores on Miyajima and in other parts of Hiroshima Prefecture. It’s the first of its kind in the area and is located near Itsukushima Shrine. The menu includes drip coffee, caffè latte, and other dishes that allow you to taste the flavor of the beans, as well as coffee soft serve ice cream made with coffee beans.

Moment of Joy

All of the coffee beans used at Itsuki Coffee are roasted in-house at their roastery on Miyajima every morning. They roast their coffee beans in a large coffee roasting machine and ensure that every single bean is carefully roasted. The coffee beans they use for their daily in-house roasting are carefully selected from only specialty coffee farms that have been rated 80 points or higher in international judging. You can buy their freshly ground coffee beans on-site as a souvenir.
