Japan's only coffee wonderland that engages all five senses.
Starbucks Reserve® Roastery Tokyo is one of only five Starbucks Roasteries worldwide and the only one in Japan. It houses an on-site roastery within its 2,966-square-meter space. This special venue brings together a passion for coffee, Japanese craftsmanship, and the spirit of hospitality. The building, designed by architect Kengo Kuma, is also a highlight.
The building has four floors, each offering something different. The first floor features a coffee bar, roasting equipment, and the authentic Italian bakery Princi®. The second floor is home to one of the world's largest TEAVANA™ BARs, while the third floor houses ARRIVIAMO™ BAR, which serves craft cocktails. The fourth floor features AMU TOKYO, a community space.
Inside, visitors can watch the roasting equipment in action and get a close look at the approximately 17-meter-tall Copper Cask, the Roastery's centerpiece. Other experiences found only here include savoring coffee while chatting with baristas, tasting stone-ground matcha, and trying craft cocktails. It is a coffee wonderland where visitors can experience coffee culture with all five senses.

Starbucks in Nakameguro, a feast for the senses of smell, taste, and sight.
As soon as you enter Starbucks, you’re greeted by a giant coffee roaster decorated with about 2,100 handcrafted copper cherry blossoms.
The aroma of coffee also hits you right away.
This time I ordered the “Matcha Cream Soda.”
It was my first time trying a carbonated matcha drink, and it surprised me. The delicate matcha aroma paired with the light fizz was very refreshing.
The floating vanilla ice cream added an interesting texture.
It wasn’t sticky or overly milky, but felt more like a dessert.
One drink fully showcased the fusion of a beverage and dessert.
It was truly impressive.
My friend’s hot spiced milk tea came with marshmallows. It was seriously a camera killer—we spent almost 10 minutes taking Instagram-worthy photos, and the marshmallows still stood tall. The marshmallows let you adjust the sweetness of the milk tea to your liking.
They weren’t boring to eat on their own either. It was also surprising to find this kind of marshmallow at a café.
There’s a wall decorated with mugs and another wall made from a collage of about 5,000 Starbucks Reserve coffee cards. From a distance, the cards form the word “TOKYO.”
These two walls are also real film killers. I took lots of beautiful photos while making sure not to disturb any customers who were relaxing!
You can spend 3–5 hours here. It’s a good place to take a short break and have a snack after shopping. After a good rest, you can move on to your next activity.
As soon as you walk in, the high ceilings and huge copper coffee bean storage cask catch your eye. The most special part is being able to see the coffee roasting equipment up close, with the aroma of coffee filling the entire space. The extensive wood decor and glass windows also make the space feel very comfortable.
I've been to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Milan, Italy, and the interior is very similar, like a large Starbucks museum that's worth exploring. However, there is also a smaller Starbucks Reserve store in Ginza that stands apart from the typical street-side locations. Its biggest feature is its collaboration with the renowned Italian bakery Princi, offering freshly made pizza, focaccia, and a variety of refined savory and sweet treats. The store focuses on a “main dish plus coffee/tea” format, with spacious seating on the second floor and a wide selection of exclusive Tavola meal sets. Since space is at a premium in Ginza and seats are hard to come by, some second-floor seats can be reserved online. It's a great place to enjoy an elegant meal or afternoon tea when you need a break from shopping.
This isn't your typical Starbucks; it's more like an interactive coffee experience. Each floor has its own unique features, and there are exclusive items for sale. I bought a few cups and souvenirs to take home as keepsakes. They're very memorable.
This is completely different from a typical Starbucks. The space is incredibly spacious, and the high ceilings keep it from feeling cramped. You can watch the coffee being roasted while enjoying dessert, which makes for a very relaxing experience.
