Japanese Cafés

In Japan, coffee is not limited to kissaten, the country’s traditional coffee shops, or to modern international chains. It is also very commonly drunk from a can bought in a konbini or one of the countless vending machines found throughout the country. UCC launched the first canned milk coffee in 1969, before it became widely popular during the Osaka World Expo in 1970.

Since then, this format has become a genuine part of everyday life in Japan, served cold during the summer and sometimes hot from vending machines during the cooler months.

Black, lightly sweetened, milky, mild or more full-bodied: the recipes are varied and designed to be drunk directly without preparation. Japan also enjoys mizudashi kôhî (水出しコーヒー), coffee slowly extracted in cold water, whose flavour is generally rounder and less marked by bitterness. Among ready-to-drink Japanese beverages, coffee naturally sits alongside Japanese bottled and canned teas and Japanese sodas and soft drinks.
