Sakudaira Coffee

Delicious Affogato on the highway

Sakudaira Coffee (Kohi) is a lovely little coffee shop, kiosk style, in the west bound Sakudaira Parking Area on the Joshin Joetsu Expressway. They have a really delicious affogato, an Italian dessert made by pouring hot espresso over a scoop of vanilla gelato (or ice cream). It is not something I see often in Japan. They also sell delicious ice-cream cones too. As a kiosk, there are no seats and tables, but there are some benches outside. At a busy time, like Obon, it can be hard to get a free seat though.
