    While traveling, I sometimes skip booking hotel breakfast to keep up with my itinerary. Instead, I look for a café along the way, buy a coffee to wake myself up, and get a sandwich to go to fill my stomach. Once, I stopped by Ueshima Coffee House and ordered a latte. The coffee was rich and aromatic, the milk flavor was mellow, and overall it was quite good—somewhere above average. Ueshima Coffee House is a coffee brand owned by Japan's UCC. It combines the charm of traditional kissaten with modern coffee culture, with a particular focus on coffee's rich, full-bodied flavor. The atmosphere inside is also a bit calmer and more nostalgic than at a typical fast-food coffee shop. If you have time, I also recommend sitting down and enjoying it at a leisurely pace.
