Jazz＆Coffee GOOD BAIT
Chiryu, Aichi
Tucked away in the town center of Chiryu, Jazz & Coffee GOOD BAIT is the kind of modern kissaten where vinyl reverence and bar hospitality meet — an intimate haven for people who come to hear music the way it was meant to be heard. The room feels intentionally lived-in: low amber lighting, well-worn armchairs, stacks of LPs and a vintage amp that make every trumpet solo bloom; by day the baristas pull precise espresso and pour-over coffee that matches the careful attention paid to each record, and by night the space softens into a quiet listening bar where regulars and travelers swap recommendations. What sets GOOD BAIT apart is its curatorial ear and sense of community — the owner often spins rare pressings, hosts small live sessions and themed listening nights, and keeps conversation respectful so the music stays front and center. It’s an unpretentious, soulful stop for anyone exploring Aichi’s music culture: a perfect pause on a day trip from nearby Nagoya or a deliberate detour for jazz lovers wanting an authentic local experience.
