Yanaka Coffee-ten Yanaka Shop — Restaurant in Tokyo

As a coffee lover and travelling all over the world for work, I had the pleasant opportunity to try the Yanaka Coffee here after visiting Yanaka Ginza. Well, you may already know that the typical Japanese coffee is just average, and when I saw this shop, it was joy to my coffee nerves.

I walked in to not only find that they were selling their own brand, but many other roasts from all over the world. I felt like a kid in a candy store, not knowing which to try.

And guess what? I ended up trying the Yanaka Coffee, which is their house blend. Honestly, I ended up getting two cups after trying the first one.

Therefore, if you do visit Yanaka Ginza, exit through the went entrance, turn left and walk down the main Yomise-dori street for about 100 meters and you will see Yanaka Coffee-ten.

They don't have a nice seating area except for a couple of chairs outside, so if it is full, just walk a little further, there is an open space when you can stand around.

Verdict? To be very honest, this is probably one of the best coffee I had in...

For all your coffee aroma needs. Ok, i'm not really being facetious - they roast their own coffee beans here, and the aroma from this is simply, mind-blowingly, awesome. (You can also get a cuppa coffee to go. Plain coffee (americano), no espresso, latte, etc. And yes, it is excellent) The beans here are the star - they have bins and bins of beans, their own selections mostly, and you can converse for hours with them on the characteristics, style, type, flavor, etc. Mind you, if you don't have any Japanese, you'll be reduced to "point and pick", but, well,...
