Coffee Roaster Labo WATARU

Japan, 〒861-4114 Kumamoto, Minami Ward, Noda, 2 Chome−30−31 フロンティアビル 2F
verified

you're looking at a kumamoto roaster that takes the 'from seed to cup' idea seriously, sourcing green beans directly from producing regions and focusing their work on the roasting and extraction stages, which they see as their specific responsibility to the grower. they lean toward light to medium roasts that let origin character come through, and they engage with cup of excellence lots as a way of understanding and communicating what producers intended. a specialty-focused shop in kumamoto's minami ward, closed wednesdays and thursdays.
