On December 1, 2021, a new store opened right next to the "Takaoka Daibutsu", one of the three largest Buddhist statues in Japan, in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture! Its name is "amida coffee". The name is "amida coffee" and you can enjoy delicious coffee and sweets while looking out the window at the Great Buddha.

What is "Takaoka Daibutsu" anyway? If you are wondering what "Takaoka Daibutsu" is, please take a look at this article!

In order to revitalize Takaoka, which has recently seen an increase in the number of vacant stores, we want to build a Daibutsu café next to the Takaoka Daibutsu statue! This store was created with the support of more than 300 people through a crowdfunding campaign held in the spring of 2021. The "Great Buddha of Takaoka" is a symbol of the city, created with the best of Takaoka's casting technology. amida coffee offers a menu featuring the motif of the Great Buddha.
Daibutsu Latte" with a slightly mischievous face
First, here is the popular "Daibutsu Latte. The original latte art is very cute. Depending on the day, you can see a slightly chubby Daibutsu or a Daibutsu that looks like an old man.
If you see the "Daibutsu sponge cake," it's a good thing you ate it!
The "Daibutsu Castella" is depicted on this signboard. It is baked in a Takaoka copperware baking mold to make it fluffy and moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. Until now, Daibutsusaburo, a non-profit organization, has taken the lead in selling Daibutsu Castella at events such as the Takaoka Nabe Festival, but amida coffee has taken over the idea of bringing Daibutsu Castella to more people and has realized sales at its permanent store!
However, when I went to the store at snack time that day, the last piece was sold out right in front of me...too bad.... Next time, I would like to visit earlier to get it.
There are many other menu items with the image of the Great Buddha, such as soft-serve ice cream decorated with a round cookie that looks like a spiral hair. It is a perfect place to stop by after visiting the Daibutsu or while sightseeing in Takaoka, so why don't you take a rest at the Daibutsu Cafe while admiring the handsome Daibutsu? If you go there by car, please note that there is no dedicated parking lot for the store. We recommend that you use the nearest "Takaoka City-operated Otachiya Parking Lot," which is about a 4-minute walk away.
