'Partner', situated in the heart of Sasebo city, is a nostalgic retro-style classic cafe that has retained its Showa-era ambiance. As you ascend the stairs, the old-fashioned doorbell welcomes you with a gentle chime.
Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by latticed curtains and modern chairs. Soft light filtering through the windows reflects the changes of the city, altering the ambiance of the shop over time. With a long history of 40 years, this cafe can be described as a part of Sasebo's cityscapes.
The thick and juicy handmade omelette by the owner, with just the right spiciness of the sauce, is a perfect match with the coffee. It's the kind of combination that makes you want to forget time and savor it slowly, truly the 'best partner'.
In the retro shop where smoking is allowed, enveloped by the kind smile of the owner, it's a moment to share memories with someone. When visiting Sasebo, why not spend some quiet time at this longstanding cafe?
