Find Japan’s largest selection of coffee shops and roasters in one place at the Tokyo Coffee Festival this weekend. This extensive coffee event will feature plenty of coffee, snacks and brewing accessories by approximately 50 coffee purveyors from around the country. If that wasn't enough to keep you caffeinated, there will also be a roundup of independent coffee shops from all over Asia including Singapore, Taipei and Hong Kong.
During the event, you can go around tasting the coffee on offer using the festival-exclusive heat-resistant glass tasting mug. With an advance online reservation (¥2,500 per person), you can begin sampling coffees immediately after picking up your special mug, which includes four drink coins as well as a café-themed zine. Otherwise, a starter set will still be available at the door for ¥2,700.
The Tokyo Coffee Festival is held concurrently with the weekend Farmers Market, so don’t forget to stock up on fresh groceries while sipping on some of the best coffee from Japan and the world. Your weekend of ‘cafe-hopping’ sorted.
