KALDI COFFEE FARM AEON MOLL Asahikawanishi

kaldi knows its way around a roast. that's not a small thing in a country where coffee culture runs genuinely deep, and where even a mall-anchored outpost can hold its own if the sourcing and technique are taken seriously. you'll find this one on the first floor of aeon mall asahikawa-nishi, in the midorimachi district on the western side of the city, which means it draws a real cross-section of people, not just the specialty-curious. the standing here is solid, and consistently so. kaldi operates as both roaster and retailer across japan, which gives each location access to a range of beans that a single independent shop couldn't sustain alone. worth stopping in when the afternoon opens up, and picking up a bag to take back to your hotel.
