The shop was opened in 2020 by a Japanese couple who, after being deeply moved by their first encounter with this coffee in Chiang Mai in 2013, partnered with the producer, Mr. Lee. Cultivated through agroforestry in Mae Jan Tai village, the beans are packed with a unique flavor that evokes the richness of nature and a passion for sustainable agriculture. In 2024, they celebrated their 10th anniversary of sharing Akha Ama Coffee in Japan. Currently, the coffee division (AKHA AMA COFFEE JAPAN) and the sweets division (Coffee Journey & Bake) work together to offer homemade baked goods designed to bring out the best in the coffee sourced directly from Thailand. Open every day from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, you can visit this hidden gem in the backstreets of Kagurazaka to experience the heartwarming "from Thai village to cup" story contained within every brew.

Granary’s Coffee, a beloved spot for many fans in Kita-Senju, closed its Senju location in August 2024 due to the demolition of its building. Currently, the shop has consolidated its operations to its roastery in Oji, Kita City, embarking on a new chapter. The owner, with over ten years of experience in roasting, holds the unwavering belief that "roasting determines the entire flavor of the coffee." Through a process of self-taught trial and error, he pours his heart and soul into bringing out the maximum potential and unique characteristics of each coffee bean's origin. His passion is so intense that he is known to discard beans if they do not meet his exacting standards in the pursuit of his ideal flavor. The Oji location is currently being transformed into a cafe space where customers can relax, read, or study, much like the previous shop in Senju. In addition to drip coffee and bean sales, the menu is planned to expand gradually. Along with the ultimate cup of coffee meticulously crafted by the artisan owner, a precious "place to belong" is being nurtured in Oji—a place where you can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend quiet time in self-reflection.

Darestore Coffee & Eatery, the second location of "darestore" in Sendai, opened in December 2021. It is a roaster cafe that handles high-quality specialty coffee carefully selected from around the world. To maximize the diverse flavors coffee possesses—like fruit, flowers, herbs, spices, or chocolate—they confront their ingredients daily and continuously update their roasting techniques. While "DARESTORE COFFEE ROASTERY" houses its roaster within a hotel, this branch in Kokubuncho offers the major appeal of enjoying a fulfilling breakfast and sweets (during cafe hours) along with a fresh, in-house roasted cup. It is an indispensable spot for discussing Sendai's coffee culture, valuing and delivering the "individuality of coffee" born from its growing environment and the producers' dedication.

"AIOI COFFEE" is a specialty shop for home-roasted coffee and baked goods, run by a husband and wife. The shop's name is derived from "Aioi-no-Matsu" (paired pines), which symbolizes marital harmony and coexistence. Likening their shop to two trunks growing from a single root, the husband's "roasting" and the wife's "baked goods" — two distinct personalities — come together to create a single harmonious space. The logo, born from a past promise, embodies the wish for the shop to spread its branches and leaves like a large tree, becoming a comfortable place that connects people. Inside the shop, carefully roasted coffee and gentle-tasting baked goods that complement it are offered. Open from 11 AM to 6 PM, it is a warm establishment where one can casually stop by in their daily life and enjoy a peaceful moment, much like resting in the shade of a large tree.

FENDER CAFE, located within "FENDER FLAGSHIP TOKYO" in Harajuku, Tokyo, is the world's first and only original coffee shop established by Fender, one of the world's leading guitar brands. Supervised by the popular California-based roaster VERVE COFFEE ROASTERS, the cafe pursues the fusion of music and coffee. It offers a selection of meticulously crafted coffee menus, including the original blend "IN TUNE" made with carefully selected beans, and "1954," named after the birth year of the iconic Stratocaster. Lattes with names reminiscent of guitar specifications, such as "Telecaster Maple Latte" and "Stratocaster Rose Latte," are a must-try for fans and casual visitors alike. The food and dessert menu is also extensive, featuring satisfying tuna sandwiches, apple crumble with ice cream, and other items that pair well with coffee. Furthermore, the cafe also serves alcoholic beverages like beer and cocktails. This luxurious space, adorned with instruments, is a new cultural spot in Harajuku where visitors can relax and quench their thirst while feeling the passion of music.

SCHOOL BUS COFFEE STOP NAKAMEGURO, the first Tokyo store of a renovation company that seamlessly connects a cafe and a design office, has opened at the foot of Meguro Bridge, where the Meguro River, one of Tokyo's most famous cherry blossom viewing spots, intersects with Yamate-dori Avenue. The inorganic, monotone-based facade combines vintage and mid-century elements with street motifs reminiscent of NY pop art. It offers a "next-level space" woven from materials and colors, setting it apart from previous stores. Inside, there are meeting booths for renovation consultations and a building material exhibition corner. Customers can casually ponder their ideal home while enjoying authentic espresso and lattes. It is a new type of lifestyle hub where you can simultaneously absorb creative inspiration and enjoy comfortable relaxation, blending into the artistic and fashion-forward atmosphere characteristic of Nakameguro.
