After enjoying the beautiful red leaves in Kyoto, we are going to Osaka to experience the local customs and culture in depth. Come with me to explore a different Osaka!

Coffee and Collection of a 70-year-old Man

This time I want to take you to experience

A very special coffee shop in Osaka.

This coffee shop is famous for being expensive.

In October this year, the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates also visited.

I ordered a cup of the most expensive coffee, which cost 110,000 yen.

I also took a photo with the store owner.

The owner is a very enthusiastic old man.

He sent me a photo of himself when he was 31 years old.

The old man is now 77 years old.

He is really a Japanese old man with a strong sense of the Internet and Internet thinking.

He has a very interesting translator.

Use this to communicate with foreign tourists.

We have been communicating using a translator.

He said he had a show

It has already received 14 million views on YouTube.

He enthusiastically introduced us to one of his precious collections.

Bought it 43 years ago.

There are only 5 motorcycles in the world.

And now there is only this one left in the world.

A Chinese tycoon wanted to buy it for 70 million yen.

He politely declined.

We first ordered a cup of coffee called Silk Road.

It is 2700 yen per cup.

It is equivalent to about RMB 180.

But this is not the most expensive.

The most expensive one is 2,000 yen per scoop.

I'll taste it in a moment.

The cups that match the precious coffee are also very valuable.

100,000 yen each.

Remember an old saying

“If I hold it in my mouth, I’m afraid it will melt. If I hold it in my hand, I’m afraid it will

Savor the wonderful taste of coffee

The taste of "Silk Road" is very special.

I've never had coffee that tasted like this.

When I ordered, I told the owner that I wanted sweet coffee.

When I drank it, I felt that it had a very strong creamy taste.

Even stronger than coffee.

Sweet with a hint of dark chocolate.

A friend told me that Japanese iced coffee tastes better than hot coffee.

This iced coffee tastes really good.

Of course, the coffee itself is delicious.

Our group

I ordered three cups of espresso and one cup of Silk Road.

There is also the most expensive coffee at 2,000 yen per scoop.

The total cost was nearly 10,000 yen.

This is probably the most expensive coffee I have ever had.

I asked the owner

How did you come up with the idea of ​​keeping coffee in a barrel for 20 years?

He said that coffee is actually made using the same method as wine brewing.

I didn’t expect the effect to be so good.

I want to try this most expensive coffee.

One scoop costs 2,000 yen.

The shop owner said that he got along well with us.

Just gave us a little more.

This taste is really complex.

It has the taste of both coffee and chocolate.

It also has the taste of wine.

A little fermented sour taste.
These flavors collide with each other.

It seems incompatible yet very harmonious.

Put ordinary espresso coffee into the barrel

Aged 24 years,

It has become what it is now.

The most expensive coffee is 2,000 yen per scoop.

This young version is just normal espresso.

Only bitter taste,

The aged version has a distinct wine fermentation flavor.

This reminds me of China's Moutai.

After 24 years, it becomes a vintage wine.

Aged coffee cannot be mass-produced.

The shop owner said that there are 200 CC of this coffee left.

A 40 CC cup can hold 5 more cups.

For example, the scoop of coffee we ordered is 4 CC.

The owner also bought a 4 CC spoon

A container for coffee.

THE END
