Discover a Place that Nurtures Mind and Body in Front of Kusatsu Station

In a corner of niwa+ (Niwa-tasu), a multi-purpose complex in front of Kusatsu Station, Shiga Prefecture, the distinctive Oceania-style cafe and wine restaurant scenes has opened its doors. Breathing new life into the former location of Kanou Shoujuan, this establishment embraces the theme of Wellness × Happiness, offering food and a space that nourishes the mind and body of every visitor.

From morning to lunch and dinner, scenes offers menus tailored to each time of day, catering to various purposes. Whether you seek a leisurely cafe experience, a satisfying lunch, or an evening at a wine bar, this new spot meets a wide range of needs.

Today, we will delve deeply into the value scenes aims to provide, focusing particularly on the appeal of Flat White Kusatsu and our commitment to quality ingredients.

Seeking a High-Quality, New Experience in Daily Life

In modern times, we no longer simply dine; we also place importance on the ambiance, the quality of what is offered, and even its impact on our physical and mental well-being. Even when choosing a cafe, people have various purposes: to relax away from the daily hustle, to focus on work, or to share conversations with loved ones.

Coffee enthusiasts, in particular, often seek an authentic taste, paying close attention to the aroma and flavor that unfolds with each sip. Furthermore, in our busy lives, there's a growing desire for health-conscious meals and quality time with family and friends. To meet these diverse modern needs, scenes has prepared a special space and time just for you.

Anticipating Flat White Kusatsu

In recent years, Flat White has garnered significant attention among coffee lovers. Popular in Oceania, particularly Australia and New Zealand, this coffee is characterized by a rich body and smooth mouthfeel, made by pouring finely frothed milk into espresso. As there are still few establishments offering it in Japan, some may even search for Flat White Kusatsu to find this special cup.

At scenes, we use specialty coffee beans from New Zealand-born Allpress Espresso, allowing you to enjoy an authentic flat white experience right here in Shiga Prefecture. We hope this single cup adds a new splash of color to your daily life.

The Profound Dedication Symbolized by Flat White Kusatsu

The Flat White Kusatsu, which can be called a symbol of scenes, is more than just a beverage. It is a vital cup that demonstrates our deep commitment to embodying the theme of Wellness × Happiness in how we welcome our guests.

The Exquisite Flavor Woven by Allpress Espresso

• New Zealand Specialty Coffee Beans: We have chosen specialty coffee beans from Allpress Espresso, originating from New Zealand. Thanks to their high quality and unique roasting method, these beans deliver a deep, rich aroma and a clear taste. The fragrant richness that spreads with each sip, and the delicate sweetness that lingers in the aftertaste, truly make for a blissful experience.
• Optimal Milk Froth for Flat White: The essence of a flat white lies in the exquisite harmony between espresso and milk. Finely steamed milk, with its silky smoothness, integrates perfectly with the espresso, further enhancing the coffee beans' inherent flavor. The ability to experience this authentic taste in Shiga Prefecture is one of scenes' major attractions.
• A Cup to Refresh Mind and Body: The relaxing effects of high-quality coffee are immeasurable. A cup of Flat White Kusatsu is not merely about caffeine intake; it gently envelops your mind and body, soothing daily fatigue and providing new vitality.

Passion for Food that Embodies the Theme Wellness × Happiness

Our commitment at scenes extends beyond just coffee. Under the theme of Wellness × Happiness, we aim to provide a dining experience that delights both your mind and body. This means creating menus that are not only delicious but also promote inner health and a sense of happiness through every bite.

For instance, our popular breakfast item, Avocado on Toast (1078 yen), features a generous amount of fresh avocado, creating a visually vibrant dish that also considers nutritional balance. Our Eggs Benedict and Hamburgers, highly praised in reviews, also use carefully selected ingredients, with ingenious preparations to maximize their natural flavors.

• A Harmony Woven by Seasonal Ingredients: We actively incorporate seasonal ingredients that change throughout the year, striving to offer the most delicious dishes of each season. Carefully selecting every ingredient, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, high-quality meats and fish, we aim to enrich your dining table.
• Menus that Color Your Day from Morning to Dinner: We offer a diverse range of menus tailored to various times of the day, from morning dishes that brighten the start of your day, to energizing lunch meals, and leisurely dinners enjoyed with wine in the evening. For example, our scenes Big Brekkie for breakfast is a vibrant plate featuring crispy yet fluffy toast, perfectly ripe avocado, beautifully plated eggs, bacon, sausage, and roasted tomatoes, offering a superb balance in one dish.
• Hospitality in Every Detail: When serving meals, we pay attention to every detail, such as warming plates before serving and providing substantial, comfortable cutlery. These small considerations are sure to elevate your dining experience to an even higher level of quality.
