This isn't your typical Starbucks; it's more like an interactive coffee experience. Each floor has its own unique features, and there are exclusive items for sale. I bought a few cups and souvenirs to take home as keepsakes. They're very memorable.

Starbucks Reserve® Roastery Tokyo is one of only five Starbucks Roasteries worldwide and the only one in Japan. It houses an on-site roastery within its 2,966-square-meter space. This special venue brings together a passion for coffee, Japanese craftsmanship, and the spirit of hospitality. The building, designed by architect Kengo Kuma, is also a highlight.
The building has four floors, each offering something different. The first floor features a coffee bar, roasting equipment, and the authentic Italian bakery Princi®. The second floor is home to one of the world's largest TEAVANA™ BARs, while the third floor houses ARRIVIAMO™ BAR, which serves craft cocktails. The fourth floor features AMU TOKYO, a community space.
Inside, visitors can watch the roasting equipment in action and get a close look at the approximately 17-meter-tall Copper Cask, the Roastery's centerpiece. Other experiences found only here include savoring coffee while chatting with baristas, tasting stone-ground matcha, and trying craft cocktails. It is a coffee wonderland where visitors can experience coffee culture with all five senses.

I was really surprised after visiting the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo. It's completely different from a typical Starbucks! The moment you step inside, you're surrounded by the aroma of coffee beans. The huge copper roaster is an impressive sight, and it's fascinating to watch the beans move through the copper pipes. Each of the four floors has a different style, and the wooden interior designed by Kengo Kuma feels warm and refined. You can also see the Meguro River in the distance from the third-floor terrace.
The baristas are incredibly skilled, and the freshly roasted beans have such a rich aroma. You can watch the entire process as the coffee goes from green beans to a finished drink. The overall experience is fantastic, and coffee lovers should definitely make a pilgrimage here! -

Watching the beans being roasted and the drinks being prepared on-site is very distinctive. It's a completely different experience from a typical Starbucks. -
