with 7 832 000 bags. Japan has a rich history in the careful and meticulous preparation of food and beverages Historically Japan was not a coffee culture but the mid 1800’s saw a dribble of beans coming into the country, mostly being consumed by the Dutch traders of Nagasaki. In 1888 Eiki Tei in Ueno district wanting to emulate the cultural vibrancy of French café’s opened a café only lasted a few years unfortunately being before his time. Japanese being the masters of imitation inspired several other cafes those in the Ginza district did well.
It all came to a halt after the Second World War when Japan banned all imports of coffee. Things moved in the 1960’s when instant coffee came back and in 1980’s Hiromichi Toriba started Duotor coffee that was very successful and later has evolved to compete with Starbucks concept of the third place and the Kissasten’s that evolved to become places of old school, high quality, hand created beverages with their hand dripped pour over style.
Kissasten’s are all about coffee and socialising over the black beverage. They have become a favourite tourist destination due to their extra services provided like newspapers and old style service in a retro environment.
Japan has the honour of being responsible for the Hario V60 dripper which is ideal for Vietnamese coffee being a single piece drip brewer with a paper filter. It was in 2004 that the dripper came into being. The name comes from the V shape and its 60 degree angle. The intent was for a drip through coffee that was to be cleaner tasting rather than steeping grounds.
How do the Japanese mix coffee and alcohol? How about a Sochu Mohito
Zesty and refreshing like any mohito Ideally cool and refreshing on a hot summer afternoon.
