Across the street opposite Maruyama Park in Sapporo, a coffee shop offering house-roasted coffee brewed using the “Nel drip” method

Miyakoshiya Coffee is a well-known coffee shop in Sapporo and its main store is right next to Maruyama Park. Founded in Sappro’s Urasando in 1985, it now boasts 22 branch stores all over Japan including Odori and New Chitose Airport.
