Japanese Coffee Culture and Brewing
Japan has a long-established coffee culture that includes quiet kissaten cafés and contemporary specialty coffee shops.
Discover kissaten culture, pour-over brewing, and Japanese-style iced coffee.
Kissaten
Traditional kissaten are coffee-focused establishments, often known for a slower pace and distinctive atmosphere.
Pour-over
Hand brewing gives the maker control over water flow and extraction. A consistent grind and brew ratio help repeat good results.
Japanese iced coffee
This method brews hot coffee directly onto ice, cooling it quickly while retaining aromatic qualities.
Getting started
Try a medium roast, a paper-filter dripper, and a kitchen scale for consistency.
