About

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood in Amagasaki area, Hyogo Prefecture is the stylish cafe “Sukuta Coffee” instagram.com/sukuta_coffee , just a five minute walk from Fukuchiyama Line – JR Tsukaguchi Station or a ten minute walk from Hankyu Takarazuka Line -Tsukaguchi Station. The cafe occupies the bottom floor of a standalone house, once a garage, now partially renovated to accommodate the café. Sukuta stands for Su mu (meaning to reside), Ku rasu (meaning to live) and Ta noshimu (meaning to enjoy in Japanese) and is run by a friendly gentleman who opened the cafe in May 2022.

Designed by the owners wife, transforming a former garage space, the stylish interior of Sukuta Coffee is snug yet inviting. The original rolling shutter remains intact but now sits behind sliding glass doors, adding a touch of charm. The counter boasts a sleek curved design, accentuated by a counter wall finished with exquisite stucco, done by a talented Kyoto plasterer. The stucco finish comprises four distinct horizontal layers, reminiscent of the stratified layers of soil—an homage to the owner’s profession as a soil inspector. Seating options include a wooden bench along one wall adorned with quaint wooden side tables, alongside a few stools positioned towards the rear of the café.

The menu at Sukuta Coffee offers a variety of options to satisfy your cravings. Choose from drip coffee, available in Sukuta Blend, iced coffee, and single-origin selections. Espresso lovers can indulge in café lattes (500 yen), Americanos, affogatos, or straight-up shots of espresso. Non-coffee drinkers can enjoy refreshing orange or apple juice, or opt for a soothing matcha latte or a fruity blueberry smoothie. To complement your drink, Sukuta also offers delicious sweets such as their signature pudding with ice topping, or simply a scoop of ice cream, alongside occasional baked treats.
