The Interior of thec Mutekirou !


by Kazu

I recognized the interior of the Cafe Mutekirou must have been selected so carefully and actually seemed to be paid much attention of the visitors. On top of that, the separated room looked so fascinating to spend time with family and friends.  
Taking care of the facility may be a little bit tough because the structure seemed to be complicated in details and keeping the large glass sheets of the windows clean must be tough for the staff.  
I think the concept of the cafe is a fusion of "JAZZ" and Japanese taste. I think the cafe is one of the best example to create comfortable space. The huge audio speakers near the piano can make the place the stage of session and shouting.

The Creme Brulee by Cafe Mutekirou !


by Kazu

I found something curious beside the audio speakers in Cafe Mutekirou on that day. A small figure of kitten was so funny and pretty. Soon my creme brulee and my wife's cheese cake were served to our table.
The surface of the creme brulee was so crisp that my wife loved it so much. Of course, the inside was superb, tasteful and sweet. On the other hand,  the cheese cake had so nice soft texture and sweetness. So sophisticated sweetness sour taste struck us as the tool to bring us to the happiest world.
Both of the sweets and ice coffee satisfied us so much that we were wondering if we could contribute to the cafe so that we would be able to visit there again and again for the future. Thanks to the company that run the cafe, the citizens and we can spend quality time in our lives.

What allures the people to Cafe Mutekirou !


by Kazu

It was getting cloudy again even in the City of Iron Muroran. The Swan Bridge also started to be hidden by the lower cloud or fog. While we were waiting for cakes and coffee, I took the photos around Cafe Mutekirou.
It was a little bit too hot to have cold cheese cake and brulee on the deck of the cafe, we took the table near the window inside. I've never seen the fisherman's boat are moving around the cafe but the small port for them was adjacent to the cafe.
I found little small wild flowers beside the deck of the cafe. They were blooming subtly on the ground. The shape was like birds or starfish. They were so small but so beautiful. I hope the plant will bear fruits and seeds to bloom again next year.

The Scenery around Cafe Mutekirou !


by Kazu

Arriving in Muroran City from Kitafunaoka Area of Date City, it was getting fine and blue sky could be seen at the crack of the clouds. We dropped by Cafe Mutekirou run by Miyakoshiya Coffee. Muteki means the foghorn to avoid shipwreck and crash.   
Different from the scenery of Kitafunaoka, the scenery around Cafe Mutekirou was so beautiful as usual and I expected. It was still a little bit cloudy but much better than in Date City.
Muroran City has the iron manufacturing factory run by Nippon Steel Company. The factory creates carbon dioxide as well for food industry and construction. Skewered and grilled chicken and pork are famous cuisine in Muroran City and many branch Yakitori Bistros featuring Muroran Yakitori are in Sapporo and other cities in Hokkaido.

Kitafunaoka Station to Cafe Mutekirou !




by Kazu

We love to visit this train station with surreal scenery against the backdrop of Eruption Bay. I can understand why the citizens of this area chose to live there. I can imagine the life accumulating time and days and watching the coastline of Oshima Peninsula and Eruption Bay.
The scenery of Kitafunaoka Station was not so striking than usual but visiting there satisfied us so much. After taking some photos, we headed to Muroran City to savor the special cakes and another beautiful scenery.

The Eruption Bay facing Kitafunaoka Station !


by Kazu

The east and south side of Kitafunaoka train station seemed to be cloudy or raining. We also had a slight rain early in the morning in Niseko/Kutchan but in Hakodate,so heavy rainfall seemed to have annoyed the citizens.
No train enter the station in Kitafunaoka on that day. The citizens in Kitafunaoka Area could not use the train on that day.Mo train manias could not be seen there on that day.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         k
The Eruption Bay was very calm and gentle on that day. No tanker vessel could not be seen. Thanks to the clean salt water, we could see a herd of small fish in the rippling water.

Italian Family Restaurant Bokka in Date City and Kitafunaoka Station !


by Kazu

We had pasta lunch in one of the most popular restaurant in Date City "Bokka" . I chose clam carbonara spaghetti topped with cheddar cheese. The counter table of the restaurant was more comfortable than expected. 
After that, we dropped by the Kitafunaoka Coffee Roaster House near Kitafunaoka Train Station. But the narrow space in the cafe was filled up with the tourists from overseas. My wife checked up the vacancy of the seat but one of them let their kid stand on the counter table facing the window and Eruption Gulf. So we gave up to have a cup of coffee there on that day.                                                                                 
It was cloudy on that day and the ocean was not shining with the bright  sunshine. Suddenly, an announcement was made under the sky that many train transportation were canceled because of the heavy rainfall in Hakodate and Sapporo City.     k
