Kawa Coffee Kainan Shikone

Just as freshly baked bread is delicious, freshly roasted coffee beans are also delicious. Right after roasting, the flavor is still developing, but the chemical changes in the components of coffee begin immediately after roasting. Depending on the type of beans and the degree of roasting, the balance of aroma and richness typically peaks about 3 to 4 days after roasting. The period considered to be the most delicious is around 1 to 2 weeks after roasting when the beans are still whole (not ground), at which point the quality aroma reaches its peak. After about 3 weeks, the aroma becomes almost undetectable, and the coffee turns into a brew with strong bitterness and richness. Major coffee chains and café chains often import beans roasted overseas, which means that by the time they arrive in Japan, the coffee tends to have a more pronounced bitterness. At Kawakoffee, we want our customers to enjoy the best flavor of coffee as a material. With this wish in mind, we calculate the daily usage amounts and roast the beans in-house, always providing our customers with coffee that is at its best drinking condition. This is why Kawakoffee is committed to in-house roasting.

With the motto 'Delicious coffee starts with the beans,' we strive to provide exceptional taste without compromise. To achieve this, we always taste the coffee beans and discuss our selections. Our particularly recommended blends, 'Kawa Special Roast for Bread' and 'Kawa Special Roast for Cake,' were crafted by President Kawa Yoshihiro, who envisioned flavors that pair well with bread and cake, respectively. We carefully select beans from around the world, repeatedly blending and tasting until we finally create our proud original blend. Enjoy the coffee brought to you by Kawa, who has been pursuing the deliciousness of bread and cake for over 35 years.

At Kawakoffee Shop, we use a French press. The French press, which filters with a metal filter, completes the extraction as soon as the coffee grounds are added and hot water is poured. This allows us to consistently extract delicious coffee. Flavors that might be filtered out with paper are present in the cup with the fine particles of coffee in the French press. While a thick powder may remain at the bottom of the cup, this is a unique gift of flavor that can only be experienced with fresh beans in a French press. Please enjoy this fine powder, which is packed with the richness and aroma of coffee.

Characterized by a subtle acidity and fruity sweetness. This coffee blend offers a rich flavor that allows you to enjoy the fluffy, soft texture of Kawa's bread, along with the toasty aroma and gentle sweetness of wheat. It is crafted to be a mild and rich coffee blend that can be enjoyed in balance with a range of breads, from the delicate flavors of hearth-baked bread to the stronger flavors of sweet and savory breads.

Characterized by a refreshing citrus-like acidity. This blend complements the elegant taste of fresh cream and the rich sweetness of sponge cake made with plenty of eggs, resulting in a coffee with a tangy flavor. By primarily using Ethiopian beans and blending them with Colombian and Brazilian beans, we have created a taste that highlights the fruity notes and acidity of the coffee. The crisp acidity allows you to enjoy the lingering strong flavors of the cake.

It has a floral quality reminiscent of black tea. The sweet fruit-like flavor is wonderful, and it is a clean coffee. This method involves mechanically removing the skin and flesh of the fruit, then soaking it in water to almost completely remove the flesh. With the washed method, the beans become more uniform, and you can enjoy the aroma and high-quality acidity.

The rich aroma, praised for its sweet fruit and floral notes, is wonderful, and the uniquely sweet scent of Colombia is its most significant characteristic. The very gentle and soft bitterness, combined with a rich body, evokes chocolate with a sweetness that lingers in the aftertaste. The gentle, high-quality citrus acidity felt in the background further enhances the richness and sweetness.

Peaberry is a very rare coffee bean that is harvested only 5-7% at the tips of the branches. It has a refreshing acidity like the breeze blowing on the Big Island of Hawaii. You can also experience a rich body and sweetness. It has a uniquely wonderful balance.

This is an original jelly drink made using house-roasted coffee beans.
