Setagaya City, Tokyo, Japan｜Minagawa Coffee

An authentic place for coffee lovers with a relatively short but excellent selection of dark roasted coffee beans. Mari is very friendly and there's always nice music playing in the background :-). Highly recommended!

This coffee bean specialty store is located a few dozen meters from the Ultraman shopping street into the Soshiya housing complex. Even though I lived locally, I didn't even realize a store like this existed for a while. It is a firm, dark roast, with a bitterness and richness, allowing you to enjoy the taste and aroma typical of coffee. It seems like the older sister is managing the place by herself, but she does a very thorough job. The beans are shiny and beautiful. I couldn't help but look at it. The signboard of the tenant that houses the shop is the same as the fish shop that was there before, so be careful not to overlook it. This is a store that I hope will continue to be here forever.

I've become a regular here recently. What really struck me was how beautiful the beans were. The grains are even and shiny, and it looks delicious. They look completely different from the beans you get at Starbucks. Of course the taste is amazing too. I've tried a lot of things, and recently I've been repeating Guatemala, which has a gentle taste.
