Large wooden building with pot plants hanging from it at Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo

Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo

Posted on

While it might seem counter-intuitive, Tokyo is currently home to the largest coffee-roasting store of American chain Starbucks. It’s called Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo and it’s  something to behold.

Located in the cool Meguro district, beside a river that teems with people during cherry blossom season, the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo has some serious credentials. The impressive four-story building was designed by Japanese architect wunderkind Kengo Kuma, it’s home to a 17-metre tall copper coffee roaster and it houses a café, a bakery, a tea house, a bar and a terrace across its multiple floors. There’s even coffee and souvenir merchandise to buy. This is all intertwined with a network of pipes that zing the coffee beans around the structure and a packaging production line. It’s like an uber cool Willy Wonka factory – only it’s pumping out coffee instead of confectionary. 

Whether you’re a fan of chain-store coffee or not, Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo is all about the atmosphere and the experience. It’s a genius branding exercise that turns coffee into an event. The hordes of people trying to get in can’t be wrong.
