Ogawa Coffee

Ogawa Coffee was founded in 1952 in Kyoto, making it one of the city's three famous long established coffee houses alongside Inoda Coffee and Maeda Coffee, rooted in an era when coffee culture was not yet widespread in Japan. Over seven decades the company has grown into a multi location operation spanning Kyoto, Tokyo, and an international outpost in Boston that opened in May 2015, while maintaining the craftsmanship of its origins through techniques like flannel drip extraction, a traditional method that produces the rich, strong coffee Ogawa is known for. The Tokyo flagship Ogawa Coffee Laboratory, designed by Yusuke Seki Studio, incorporates old paving stones from Kyoto's historic tramways into its interior, while the Sakaimachi Nishiki location opened in February 2022 inside a renovated century old Kyo machiya townhouse serving exclusively ethically sourced organic blend coffees. Select locations store over 21 varieties of coffee beans in temperature controlled cases, and the company's training program has produced a Japan Latte Art Championship winner among its baristas. Ogawa Coffee bridges the gap between Kyoto's traditional kissaten heritage and modern specialty ambitions, offering one of the most historically rich coffee experiences in a country increasingly known for its progressive roasting scene.
