Nakanoya NYAcafe: A chill atmosphere with a special menu!
A stylish cafe will open on the first floor of Nakano City Hall, which will be relocated to a new building in May 2024. We will introduce the appeal of Nakanoya NYAcafe, a place of relaxation for the ward's residents.
Seasonal Menus are Super Chill!
In addition to a wide variety of drinks and food, you can also enjoy seasonal menus. In the summer, you can enjoy frozen drinks with mango or melon, chilled ramen, and tsukemen. Enjoy a blissful moment with these refreshing menus!
Chibi Nakano also relaxes with a refreshing melon smoothie.
Even we, who covered the coffee, were surprised by the "attention to detail" that goes into their coffee. They even change the flavor slightly with each season. When you try it, it's mellow and delicious! It's always a special cup.
Universal design space
The cafe is designed to be enjoyed by everyone, and the space has been carefully designed. There are even small details to make it more accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, and the background music creates a sense of openness. The staff recommends the corner seats, where you can relax while looking out at the greenery.
