Hikari Cafe

#australiatrip ‘Hikari’ sounded like a Japanese style cafe name. You know I love Japan… especially their culture, food and coffee also vintage cloth as well! When I first saw Hikari, I had a very simple interior and clean. And Even though this cafe is Located in the CBD, The atmosphere is not hectic. Their signature menu are Matcha, Hojicha Latte. Most customers ordered them. Honestly I thought about following them But I was curious about their coffee more! So I just ordered a Longblack. I drank the Longblack inside the cafe, It flavor similar to what I had imagined. When I went to Tokyo this year, I had been Cafe tour and when I visited Leaves, Mameya, Ash etc. their Basic blends had a bit acidity, strong nutty and sweetness! Sure their specialty coffee had very distinct characters. Maybe, I think Hikari also prefer the japanese coffee style, their coffee had not high acidity unlike Aus. So they are different from other cafes especially Aus Cafe style. I felt this is their identity and sucess strategy for another market. Anyway! I like japanese style cafe and also Hikari as well:) Addresa: 317 Swanston St, Melbourne, Australia
