If your kitchen smells like a roastery and your idea of a good time is debating pour-over ratios, head to the Tokyo Coffee Festival.
What happens?
The Tokyo Coffee Festival is back in Aoyama, bringing together some of the best roasters from across Japan.
There’ll be everything from clean, third-wave cups to more full-bodied offerings, plus sweets, crafts, and a few wildcard stalls for good measure, all in the courtyard of the United Nations University.
Schedule
The Tokyo Coffee Festival takes place twice, in early summer and again in winter.
The winter edition is scheduled to take place on December 13 and 14, 2025.
Days 1 and 2 typically feature different coffee shops, so check the official website ahead of time to make sure you don’t miss your favorites.
Tickets
Entry is free, but you’ll need to pay to sample coffees.
The ¥2,700 advance reservation set includes a heat-resistant tasting mug, four tasting coins, and a zine exploring coffee shop connections. Same-day tickets cost ¥3,000.
