01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Whether you have just learned how to set up the pieces or want to return to the board after years away, Shogi Cafe COBIN welcomes players without any stiff formality. Unlike traditional dojos or study halls, it offers a relaxed cafe setting where staff help arrange friendly games between visitors of similar skill or join you at the counter to work through tsumeshogi checkmate puzzles. Parents and children can get absorbed in shogi or other board games, while solo visitors might quietly browse the rows of strategy books over a drink.
From Alcoholic Drinks to Cafe Standards
A broad selection of beverages is on hand while you contemplate your next move. Beer drinkers can choose from Heartland, assorted craft beers, and Shandygaffs with sweet or dry ginger ale. The bar also pours highballs, gin and tonics, sweet or dry ginger highballs, Moscow Mules, and liqueurs such as Cassis Orange and Kahlua Milk. For those seeking a focused session or a quiet break, non-alcoholic options include hot or iced coffee, black tea, green tea, and oolong tea.
An Accessible Visit Style
The cafe is open daily from 13:00 to 23:00 and accepts reservations. Payment can be made using QR code methods such as PayPay and Rakuten Pay, and all visits are eat-in, allowing you to settle into a seat. Staring down at the board with a glass in hand, you can savor the quiet pleasure of working out your strategy.
