JBLで本物のBluesを聞かせてくれる、最高にクールなブルース・カフェ/バー 店内には、ブルース〜ロック〜フォークの名盤レコードが所狭しとコレクションされていて、それを眺めてるだけでもゾクゾクしてしまいます JBLからのレコードの音色はそこそこの音量で、 昭和のジャズ喫茶特有?の「レコード爆音、煙モクモク」という感じはなく、 比較的、健康的&綺麗目です 今回はバータイムにお伺いしましたが、 ランチタイムのランチもおいしそうなので、 いつか頂いてみたいです 2025年4月訪問

どこに座るか迷うほど、おしゃれな椅子と、レコードで流れるブルースがかっこいいです。 趣味に溢れる雰囲気でゆったりと過ごせます。 自家製レモネード、レモンの苦味があって美味しいです。 周りの人は野菜プレートのようなのを食べていて、たくさんの野菜でとても美味しそうです。

ランチで伺いました。 本日のランチが煮込みハンバーグ 1プレートで来るんですが、まず野菜がいろんな種類あってボリュームあります! とっても嬉しいポイントでした! 煮込みハンバーグは味ちょい濃いめ。 ご飯が沢山欲しくなる笑 あっさり野菜コンソメ系?スープも美味しかったです! サンドイッチとかも気になりました。 また行きます!
