    • If it's not the "mood" music being played as loud as at a disco, you'll inevitably be surrounded by Japanese girls, ladies, whatever, who speak or shout at each other in a volume that reminds one of the drill sergeant in a typical army movie.

    I could understand it if they were a distance from each other across a big table but the loudest ones always seem to be right next to each other. No sense of volume. They know exactly what they're doing by calling it 'American Coffee' since it's the weakest coffee you'll be served in most of those places, often not very good and very reminiscent of coffee you used to get everywhere in America, especially diners and family restaurants.

    I do agree with whoever said they heat the milk too hot though. You should never scald your tongue when drinking a milk drink and the stupid, wasteful coffee cup sleeves would be far less necessary if they didn't heat them so high. You want proper milk, youll have to buy a glass. And no, we dont do low fat. I think Doutor's name was misspelled in the article. It's "Doutor", not "Dotour". Correct me if I'm wrong, but I noticed that many coffee shops here in Tokyo don't offer decaffeinated coffee.

    I want this option when it's already past 7pm, otherwise I can't sleep. I end up buying juice or a snack instead. They not only don't serve it, they have never heard of it. My wife requested decaf when she was pregnant and got blank stares. They had no idea it even existed. I remember reading somewhere that the president named company after a street or district in Portugal. Overall, in Japan, you get what you pay for, and you WILL pay for it if you're a connoisseur as compared to McDonald's in the morning lover.

    Japanese Coffee Consumption Perks Up, Finland World’s Top Drinkers

    I asked about the milk in one place, they said it was miruku. I said "miruku milk, or gyu-nyu milk"? I like cold canned coffee, but I think they are getting smaller and smaller. One is even named One Shot! It is actually equivalent to about two shots, so I am sure the cans will continue to shrink. My boy friend when in High School got drunk and stupid one time. That's describes exactly what I despise about the west and what makes me respect Asian countries more than any western country. You won't find many unemployed hipsters spending lazy weekdays in coffee shops talking bad about "normal people" while sipping the overpriced coffee their parent's trust fund money bought them.

    Europe's and the US's bigger cities are infested with the hipsters. Sign of the end times for the west, methinks. I've never had any trouble ordering something and the service is alright. No smoking environments is what really got me to keep going there. I'll stay with Starbucks Drive-Thru..

    Oh yeah, I'm not very fond of ordering inside the store and just hang out in there for hours Husband and I always order the same: Like Nicky, I head to Starbucks. Only because it is smoke free. It Doutour were smoke free, I would be there. However, they are usually covered in a haze of blue smoke and sleeping salarymen. Great to take out but if I can't find a seat and get cancer when I do, I'll head elsewhere. Can't believe that all coffee houses haven't noticed Starbucks incredible crowds at all times!!! A total ban on smoking is not hurting their sales, it totally helps!

    You won't find me inhaling someone else's thoughtless clouds of rancid cancer. The Dotour's inside Shibuya station on the tracks is nonsmoking. Still waiting for that to be extended. Some Dotours and others have the dreaded fishtank for smokers with NO doors between. Oh, just get over it Japan and ban smoking totally! I have been voicing this to managers a lot more as clearly many people are fed up with the smoke.

    Starbucks kept me satisfied however. I didn't really like the coffee houses there, such as Kohikan..

    At least Starbucks was smoke free. Strangely no mention of Australia in the article.

    As any Aussie - or visitor knows - Australia takes it's coffee deadly serious and is the second biggest consumer per capita after Brazil. We are famous for coffee culture and pretty knowledgeable if I may add!

    Sign in Get started. He settled on the Tsukiji area to open Turret, believing that a delicious fish market deserved to be paired with delicious coffee. And what decaff that does exist here, would meld iron it is so bitter and acidic. This is in addition to the 3, standard McDonalds locations. I thought the Inuit were drinking it well before then. Her portrait of their endurance, proliferation, and diversity aptly illustrates how coffee drinking establishments accommodate social and personal needs, catering to a range of tastes and functions.

    I've been largely unimpressed by the Japanese coffee chains and find the coffee very bland. If you appreciate coffee, go to a small local business - some of them here have dozens of world blends on offer. Keep away from the chains and avoid ANY canned coffee like the plague! And yeah - smoking, coffee and the Japanese go hand in hand - if you don't like smoke - buy yourself an espresso machine like me!

    I have started to notice lately small coffee shops opening up with no smoking stickers proudly displayed on the front door! Going to start checking them out. Starbucks led the way to a smokeless environment, and I wish a lot of success to them and greater coffee choices for me. Starbucks; the always stuffy, with too many people, sitting way too long, coffee shop, has de-caf beans, available, to take out. Consuming coffee and having a "coffee culture" are two different things. I know I am from Seattle the place that defines coffee culture in ways that are sometimes way beyond belief.

    First of all, the availability of coffee does not mean that there is a culture associated with it. Culture requires that people interact and that there is interaction between individuals who share a cultural thread. The isolated, unfriendly nature of cafes in Japan hardly warrants consideration as interaction. Second, a coffee culture must have far greater flexibility than the presence of a few Starbucks, Tullys and Dotour. Where are the corner espresso stands that are the core of coffee culture in cities like NYC, Seattle, SF and much of the rest of the planet?

    Another huge distinction is in tobacco use. Smoking is still a large part of Japanese culture, and kissaten are havens for people to sit down and light up a cigarette to accompany their cup of coffee. Many larger cafes and coffee chains prohibit smoking. James Freeman, the founder of Blue Bottle Coffee — a popular, large specialty coffee chain — visited Japan as a teenager.

    This idea of kodawari really shines through in Japanese-made specialty coffee equipment — most notably, the Hario v60 manual coffee brewer. The Hario v60 is a fundamentally important brew device in specialty coffee circles. In that sense, paying attention to mundane details is essential. Hario, the company that created and manufactures the v60, was founded in Tokyo in It started by producing and selling glass products to be used for physical and chemical purposes.

    After nearly 30 years of research, they produced an environmentally-friendly heatproof glass. In Hario launched a glass coffee syphon as their first home product, followed by a cloth filter version in The v60 was first launched with glass and ceramic variants, but now has plastic, metal, and copper variations.

    Japan's coffee culture

    The copper version, while expensive, has awesome thermal conductivity resulting in a better extracted cup of coffee. The v60 is used everywhere: I use my v60 for both hot and iced coffee nearly every day. Blue Bottle Coffee opened its flagship shop in Tokyo to much media fanfare, resulting in 2-hour lines just to get in the door.

    In an article from PerfectDailyGrind. These quality shops have played a big role in cementing the demand for third wave coffee in Japan. An ongoing discussion in the Japanese coffee scene is whether specialty shops and kissaten can co-exist. Kissaten, it seems, are beginning to lose popularity as older generations die and younger coffee drinkers look for a more modern take. Others say that kissaten will inevitably die, making way for the next generation to fill the void. If people pick one place to get their coffee from, where will they choose?

    Only time will tell. Basically, you brew hot coffee as you normally would, but the hot liquid is immediately cooled when it comes into contact with the ice. Then, as the ice melts, the coffee remains properly extracted. The science behind Japanese Iced Coffee is solid: You get to smell them while you brew and for a short time after, but the actual cup loses these aromatic compounds. By immediately and quickly cooling down a cup of brewed coffee, these aromatics get trapped in the beverage. This is one reason why Japanese Iced Coffee captures the dramatic, fruity, and acidic notes that other methods like cold brew have a harder time holding onto.

    Japanese Iced Coffee has probably been practiced in Japan for a long, long time. Peter Giuliano is one of the people in the coffee world where when he talks, people listen. At least since , and probably earlier, Peter Giuliano has been preaching the good news of Japanese Iced Coffee to just about anyone who will listen. He discussed it with a journalist from Imbibe Magazine for an article in , he wrote about it in his blog, Pax Coffea, in , and he wrote an article about it for Fresh Cup Magazine in to name just a few instances over the years. There, iced coffee called aisu kohi was ubiquitous.

    Every pastry place served iced coffee, in a tall chimney glass with a tiny pitcher of liquid sugar on the side.

    Japanese coffee drinkers would sip it in the afternoon, chatting and eating sweets. I ordered one just to explore. Aisu kohi opened my eyes. LATTEST is an espresso bar, which opened in with the aim to train and empower female baristas, and values great coffee and also connecting people. The cafe is located off the main street of Omotesando. One of the best coffees in town is served by skilled baristas who impressively draw latte art on coffee cups. Another great collaboration of flowers and cafe, Nicolai Bergmann is a flower shop produced by the Danish flower artist who creates beautiful and creative flower art with a stylish Nordic essence.

    His significant work, the Flower Box is a popular item for gift. Currently, there are over 10 stores in Japan, and its flagship store is located in Omotesando area together with the cafe NOMU. The cafe is decorated with green and flower, and healthy and creative meals and drinks are served.
