Healing Cafe Time in Uenomachi, a Quiet Residential Area
Uenomachi, Yokohama. On top of a hill, where you can feel the breeze from the harbor, sits a quiet café called “Under Bluff. On a weekend morning, my family of three visited this special place. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it was a space that quietly made us question what richness really means.
A morning spent in a space surrounded by art and tranquility
Inside the restaurant, contemporary art is neatly lined up, creating a refined atmosphere of tranquility. The harmony of wood and concrete is superb, giving it the feel of an art museum. Even the light streaming in through the windows seemed to have been calculated to be a part of this space.
The breeze on the terrace and my daughter’s smile
On a fine day, you should definitely sit on the terrace. The rustle of the street trees and the presence of people passing by on the quiet street. We enjoyed the morning time with the wind blowing in the breeze and few words. My daughter laughed and my wife squinted. It was so comfortable that I wished these moments could last forever.
The best roll cake and fragrant cafe latte
The cake rolls were surprisingly moist. The aroma of chocolate and the light cream were exquisite, and my daughter’s cheeks relaxed with each bite. The café latte was pleasantly mild, with the aroma of the beans enhanced by the mildness of the milk. It was truly a brunch for adults.
Private Wisdom Summary
Luxury” is not about consuming expensive things. This morning made me realize that the true richness is in the peaceful and sincere time spent with family.
Under Bluff is the embodiment of such “quiet luxury. Next time, I would like to sit by that window, and make another memory.
