STREAMER COFFEE COMPANY set out to open as Japanese coffee shop to compete with the rest of the world. This year, it is celebrating 8 years since its establishment. They currently operate 17 independent coffee chains across the country. The company maintains a diverse background of skaters and musicians, but their baristas also boast world class skill in coffee making. It developed its first nitro cold brew coffee in 2014 and successfully put out the Nitro Latte in 2016. They serve 180,000 beverages every month and have many fans from both Japan and overseas.
Now, STREAMER COFFEE COMPANY are challenging themselves to something new: Kuramoto Baisen Charyou Kyouya Hachiemon. The shop’s concept is ‘Japanese style.’
The entrance is fitted with a classic Japanese noren, or sign curtain, that walk through to enter. Upon entering, you are greeted by the shop’s simple and modern decor which is decked out with Japanese elements like white wood furniture and tatami mats. Customers can look forward to enjoying their coffee in a relaxed and spacious environment.
The shop is a nod and support to Gifu’s ride to successful tourism and will cure the fatigue of travel for all its customers by offering them top quality experience.
STREAMER COFFEE COMPANY aim to combine coffee with Japanese-style ingredients. Their main event will be their matcha lattes with harnesses their skilfully made coffee with matcha from Uji in Kyoto. They will also serve other Japanese treats using high quality matcha from Kyoto including shaved ice made with syrup-covered anko, soft serve ice cream, and more.
Their coffee cups, too, remind one of Japan. Mino pottery goes back to the Azuchi-Momoyama period of Japan. This traditional pottery ware first came from Tono, which is also located in Takayama, Gifu.
If you’re looking to enjoy coffee and sweets in Japan in an authentic Japanese-style environment, then look nowhere else.
