Coffee Yamakawa

Little coffee roaster shop. They have a variety of different green bean choices. But it is impossible that you can get your coffee immediately. You should order the beans and few hours later you can get them.

terrible coffee it must have been left stale for too long, there’s no taste notes at all despite the looks of it being its own roastery. I ordered the special coffee but was delivered the drink within less than a minute. If you are an enthusiast drip coffee drinker you know it takes quite a while to prepare. Normally i don’t have issues with bad coffee as long as it’s cheap but this place is not, Run!

This shop is legit. They roast beans from all over the world in-house. Passionate owner, speaks enough English to pass on his coffee recs. 💯

My wife and I decided to get a cup of coffee at this interesting-looking coffee roasting place while strolling around. Biggest regret however. The owner was so self-absorbed, unwelcoming and unfriendly. For 2 minutes he didn’t even bother to greet me and kept doing his own thing, which was so unlike Japanese hospitality. And the hand drip coffee wasn’t even good.

This was, hands down, the best coffee I had in Japan. The owner roasts his own coffee to order, weighs his beans, and does a proper pour over. He is super nice and speaks great English. On my last day I asked him to roast me a few kinds of beans, and the next morning, they were ready waiting for me.

This is the kind of coffee shop that is a hidden gem. No tourists, no fancy drinks, the smell of roasting coffee in the air, and a hard-working local that takes pride in his coffee. If you visit make sure to get a hot pour over and explore his vast bean selection with coffees from all over the world, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Papua New Ginuea, Yemen, Colombia, Cuba. He will treat you right!

Have been there a few days ago. The coffee was really really good! There was an old lady serving us and she explained some stuff to us (in Japanese). The coffee place is very small so max. 6 people can sit inside but they have many different coffee beans, which you can buy! Can highly recommend this place :)

Lovely find in a quiet neighborhood. Proprietor speaks good English. Amazing coffee, amazing knowledge of his craft.
