ACID COFFEE TOKYO

Putting it into words in every way possible. Beginners should start here.

Different breeds are as different as Chihuahuas and Shiba Inu dogs. Roughly speaking, the higher the altitude, the better the coffee tastes. Remember the two basics: natural and washed. Even before brewing the coffee, the owner, Kenta Tsukada, cheerfully explains the basics.

As they say, "A shop for beginners run by nerds," they always have about 30 types of beans in stock, from daily beans to top lots that cost over 10,000 yen per cup, and encourage you to try them all. They also offer half cups at a 40% discount, and you can buy beans from as little as 16g, which is the equivalent of one cup.

"I want to make coffee a higher priority in people's lives, so that they can enjoy coffee like they would buy a new T-shirt. That's why I speak to my customers in their vocabulary. For example, I talk about coffee using the vocabulary of whiskey, craft beer, art, and film."
