Wise Man Coffee

Aussie inspired cafe in Koganei

As an Australian, I appreciate the number of Aussie-inspired cafes that have popped up in Tokyo over the years. One I tried recently was Wise Man Cafe in Koganei, which was opened by a Japanese barista who used to work in Sydney for a period of time. Their coffees are fab, the eats menu is pretty limited (some sandwiches, cookies, etc) but I think that really means that the focus is on the coffee...and I appreciated that! The atmosphere was trendy but not pretentious, which I also was fond of. The store is about 5 minutes on foot from Musashi Koganei Station.
