October sweets and events

It's already in the middle of October!
I thought I have just had a long holiday in Japan, but I feel I need to have another one very soon!!! 😆

After the autumn equinox, the day gets shorter and shorter...
So, it's the beginning of the long dark season in the UK.

No way! We have so many events to look forward to! So I am standing at the kitchen of an-an and cooking away comforting meals for you (almost) every day!

There are two news this month... well, one of it seems to be postponed to the next month, though...

At first, Cafe an-an had a training to serve Small Batch Coffee! Of course, it's official!

About these few weeks, I was practicing making coffee which I was trained to make with tasty Small Batch Coffee beans. Sometimes, I fell in caffeine over-dose, Sometimes had a bit of stomach clump...But I made it!

So, you may find it's funny to serve Small Batch Coffee at an-an, although there is the Small Batch Coffee Roaster around the corner?
Yes, we are at the short distance which we can smell when the coffee is roasted.
That's really handy to us.
We can get the freshest roast coffee from the roaster, anytime.
More over, our beans are from SBC, but we serve coffee from the beans different from one they serve at their cafe.
We get supply of coffee thought to go with Japanese sweets, Wagashi.
It taste less sourness and simple and deep. I like it with milk or soy milk.
I hope you find it interesting to find SBC in an-an style.

The second news is ... all about redesigning menu!
I was going to issue the new menu on thee 1st October, but ... but.. but...
I am still working on it!!!
More Vegan menu
Okonomiyaki & Night Cafe menu added
and some information about starting the an-an royalty card scheme.
It will be A3 size Jumbo sized menu!!!
Just watch this space!!!

Japanese Moon Festival last until 1st November, which is the 13th night moon.
It will be different from the completely round moon on 15th night moon on 4th October. It wouldn't be round. Japanese feels a little missing moon is really beautiful. The moon was shining in the sky beautifully on 4th October, so hopefully another clear sky on the night of 1st November.

This is another sweets from Moon Festival. Japanese believe a rabbit live on the moon. Steamed wheat cake with white bean paste inside. (this contains gluten.)
