Japan's Best Cafes in Tokyo ☕️

[@seerasan]

The number of Tokyo Cafes I've hit up since living here is uncountable, but here are a few of my favs that I'd love to share with my fellow coffee/cafe lovers 🫶☕ Which was your fav? Did I miss any you recommend, LET ME KNOW! (There might be a part 2 for Tokyo in future 👀)

[@monotonehell]

Fun fact "Cibi" is Italian for "foods" and is pronounced "Chee-bee".

[@c0ym0nty]

The Matcha Tokyo my fave! I always go for the Japan premium and yeah, I wish I could drink it every morning 😁 I will try that Houjicha next time

[@penlennon3576]

@@monotonehell Cibi in Melbourne is pretty awesome too

[@ITravelSometimes]

Mia Mia in Higashi-Nagasaki is the best in Tokyo IMO. Its run by a bloke from melbourne, even has anzac biscuts!!

[@allistervilliers9442]

@seerasan I've just finished travelling through Japan using loads of your cafe recommendations 🙏

[@Baelnorn]

More cafe videos please. I loved the vibes and variety.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

I love cafes. I'm going to start a new format on my channel where I feature 3 different cafes in a different city each time. I stumbled upon your channel while doing research to decide which vlogging camera to upgrade from my phone filming, and I'm staying because you seem cool and interesting! Hugs from Québec, Canada 💜

[@greysuit17]

Stumptown is out of Portland. Really great coffee!

[@metalgearbill8827]

We’re going to Japan in October and you e just added so many places to our list. Thanks for the great video

[@CHASE88888]

That coffee definitely looks good I'm gonna try that place someday

[@DtlaDaisy]

I love the "Japan cafes" playlist you're building!! Can't wait to see more episodes of this from different areas in Japan❤

[@scottieh6542]

Love me some coffee and tea! Can’t wait to cafe-hop in Tokyo! Thanks so much for your content - love it!

[@billyhiggins1908]

Hi Sarah ahhh perfect timing thanks for sharing great cafe locations in Tokyo I definitely need to check out the Norwegian style. Please stay well cheers!

[@nagasako7]

Tokyo has so much cafes, you could probably do cafe episodes for 20 years lol.

[@seerasan]

It's overwhelming that I can't go to them all!!!!

[@YanBrassard]

Literally I'm beginning to think that I'll be too broke to go a month in Japan in October, but watching this cafés video makes me think that I should put everything on my credit card and still go to Tokyo and bankrupt myself. lol and if I'm brankrupting myself, I will blame seerasan Of course I'm kidding about the last sentence

[@myceliasedits2704]

The much anticipated sequel to the Kyoto Cafes video. Great stuff! Hope to see more.

[@vinyalonde]

Thank you for posting this. Wonderful video. I have come to appreciate Tokyo as one of the greatest cities in the world and my favourite thing to do there is just walk around and take it all in. This sort of video is a really helpful guide to enjoy this wonderful city.

[@runningonemty8566]

Fuglen🐦....amazing and the brown cheese with Norwegian waffles and straeberrys , still dream bout it.

[@JavGaracia]

You are a Superstar. So refreshing. Don't stop the wonderful content just being you. Amazing . And Grace.

[@TimothyJohnsonMusic]

Was staying next to Kiti-sando coffee and Cibi for about a month, but Cibi was my favorite due to the nice food and the in-house made baked goods! Also, highly recommend Shige no Coffee in Sumida, he roasts his own beans and is super nice to chat with!

[@ruddesigns]

As a Norwegian, I can confirm that brown cheese on bread is a breakfast staple! I / my family rarely eat brown cheese on bread though, but it's a must when we make waffles at home.

[@LisaSamaritan]

We have it in Sweden to. Here it is called "Messmör". The waffles looks like traditional Swedish ones to.

[@CHASE88888]

[@silverian]

Nice to see coffee places from various countries. Norway as Scandinavian country felt so near one. I remember when I travelled with my friend many years ago to Lofoten.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

2:36 I was wondering if it had the brown cheese that Cecilia Blomdahl (on Svalbard) always had!! Now I want to find out if there are Norwegian cafes in Québec or Montréal so I could try it!!

[@aerojcordero]

Absolutely love hearts light coffee! Ken is amazing and super cool

[@rdklick]

My wife and I visted Torahebi in May and Campbell was our barista. He's great.

[@Miriko93]

Norwegian here, brown cheese is a very normal thing here - you have a bunch of different types and it's kind off a thing everyone have in their fridge😅. Combining the Waffles and the brown cheese is a must try☺️ Love your videos, you have such an awesome energy!☺️

[@alexschwalbach8229]

Thanks for the great video and a list of places to visit when I finally make it back to Japan! As someone who has been deeply ingrained and working in the Specialty Coffee scene since 2006 in the US, it's really cool to see these places through the lens of a "regular customer ", if you know what I mean. The US was integral for the 3rd wave movement, while Scandinavia joined in and helped take "coffee science" to the next level, but... the Japanese and their dedication to craft, and especially, service, really takes this kind of coffee experience to even greater heights and have set the standard for a handful of years now.

The bread in that first shop looked - and sounded - amazing. Haven't seen such bread in Japan before. 🤤

Coffee Supreme! Glad to see one of the Wellington Coffee Brands I frequent representing New Zealand :D They've even got all the merch, style and the same La Marzocco machine!

Really great video! I need Sarah in my life like I need my morning coffee every day ☕😋 I'm so glad to see that the cafe culture in Japan is still strong, not overtaken by Starbucks everywhere. My wife and I will be in Osaka later this summer and we'll be sure to check out some cafes around Kansai while we're there. It'll be my first time back since 2008. I'm so looking forward to it! It sounds like you've only covered the tip of the iceberg with the number of cafes in the Tokyo area. Definitely please do more. Always great content.

[@whatsnextreisen]

Our personal favourit was Glitch Coffee and Roasters GINZA, also mermaid coffee is very nice with a huge been selection

[@justileopard]

Thanks for sharing your fav cafe in Tokyo! I’ve been there so many times but I haven’t been one of these because there are so many cafes in Japan! In my opinion, Japanese make BEST coffee😂. I saved them in my list and will definitely visit them next time.

[@chocolau]

They all look so good! Would love to grab a coffee with you❤❤

[@katrinlausch3078]

Brunost /Mysost etc is actually no real cheese but made of the "leftover" whey which is cooked down for hours and the sugar in it caramelizes over the time. Just before the end sheep's/goat's milk or a mix of it is added and cooked with it to give it its more interesting richer flavour. Then it is cooled and eaten sliced. You could make it at home, if you have the time but the smooth not grainy texture is hard to achieve. Eaten on bread, on pancakes, cheesecakes, cookies, milk shakes, ice... or savory on sandwiches, pasta, pizza, in sauces it is very nice

[@ufgatorbearify]

Enjoying my breakfast and coffee with you. Coffee culture was nowhere near as advanced in the early 90s in Osaka. No Starbucks in 1992 😮 I actually didn't drink coffee until after Uni when I moved to Japan. But every vending machine and family restaurant had iced coffee and I've been drinking it ever since. Must have been a great video to make! 😊

[@lilahsadventures5717]

Great video, yes us Melburnians do love our coffee ☕️. I am very interested in trying the coffee/science cafe that looks interesting. Thanks for another great video. 😊

Stumptown is from Portland! So cool that it's being used all the way over there! I passed the Fuglen in Asakusa last time I was in Tokyo and it looked so good I was bummed I didn't have time to go in! Glad to know it's worth it for next time though.

I'm such a fan of coffee and fancy cafes, and I'm going to Tokyo for the first time next week! I bookmarked all of these places and hope to try at least a couple of them while I'm there. Thanks for the list!

Brown cheese is the best. Having it around once a week on bread, but its the absolute fav with the norwegian waffles! (if you want the ultimate norwegian experience you have norwegian waffles, with brown cheese and jam (raspberry or strawberry), with sour cream on the side. c:

Omg I love this ! Your videos are always so researched ! I loved hearing about Fuglen origin and also seeing Torahebi, i finally understand where those Tiger coffee beans bags sold at Loft Ginza come from !

Thank you! ☺️ Yes those are the fancy beans at LOFT!!

[@TheCreepypro]

not into coffee but I love cafes and their vibe so I'll just sip on tea and or matcha although that sake coffee sounded interesting!

[@scloh1]

Would love to try the coffees at Torahebi, but Coffee Supreme seems like such a good daily cafe.

[@dhammaboy1203]

Life without coffee is unbearable - so I'm relieved to know Japan is up to the task of sustaining my addiction! 😁☕️ These shops all look like a lot of fun - cheese toasties! 👍 It is cool that the barristers have learnt coffee making in Australia. I have traveled a lot an not many countries can do coffee like Australia!

[@Valimar11]

Pro tip for home matcha making, if you sift your matcha along with sugar and mix well before adding the water, it helps result in a cleaner dissolving process

[@wasabigirl2004]

Thanks, will try it out 😀

[@indigo_died6910]

CIBI as in chibi! I've been to the Melbourne location a couple times, was good.

[@indigo_died6910]

One thing I've always thought about cafes in Japan is that they are pretty expensive for Japanese people, whereas food is good value. Coffees in Japan are more expensive than Australia while the minimum wage is half of Australia's. I wonder why?

[@arceus54321]

i've been walking to the cafe veloce in shoto (near shibuya) a lot lately and i always walk by coffee supreme. i rewatched that part of the video and wow it looked so good. i'll go there tomorrow

But I don't like brown cheese (my partner is half Norwegian, but brunost is just so weird!), so I'll skip that. Also, so funny - I recognized Ben Richard's book in the frame with you because I've bought it myself! Would be funny if you run into him sometime ^^

Shout out to Frankie's that was in Shinokitazawa. Incredible Melbourne style coffee that also had aussie staples like lamingtons... But sadly it closed during rona times. Miss it a lot.

[@melarch]

I was wondering if you had filmed all of this coffee drinking in one day or not 😂 Jealous of all the neat and unique places for different speciality coffees you can go to! America doesn't nearly have this kind of variety. Very few and far in between as well as the quality. I think living in Italy for 6 months had me spoiled. Loved the video! This one will have to be saved for places to go when I eventually get a chance to visit japan!

[@seerasan]

This was filmed over several months 😎 Love how obsessed Japan is for coffee, such a blessing! I'm curious how the coffee scene is in Europe, going there for a family trip soon so I'll find out ☕

Hi Sarah! Thank you for showing some of your favorite cafes! We’re two norwegians coming in November. We’re definitely checking out the Fuglen ones, since we have been many times to the Oslo one and it’s so good! 🍁 I can’t stand the taste of the norwegian brown cheese so I’m impressed with you trying it! I feel like its the norwegian equivalent of Marmite 😂

[@seerasan]

Would love to visit the Oslo one someday! Honestly, the brown cheese wasn't exactly my cup of tea but I enjoyed trying it in the moment haha

[@FlareOfLegacy]

It's great that there's quite a number of specialty coffee stores in Japan - no surprise also that some of them are set up by people from overseas including from Australia. Ngl, seeing this makes me a bit unsure about my decision to book accommodation with breakfast included in Tokyo when you could just go to a local cafe for brekkie (or if being cheap, the conbini), although I guess it does save some money over the long run - cafe food and coffee can get a little pricey having it every day hahaha. I'll see if I can try at least a few of these places on my upcoming trip - should also try more variants too; always seem to err towards a chai latte in Australia for some reason.
