The TOKYO COFFEE FESTIVAL 2016 autumn, a two-day coffee festival featuring over 70 coffee shops and baristas from across Japan, will be held on September 24th and 25th in front of the United Nations University in Aoyama, Tokyo. TOKYO COFFEE FESTIVAL, Japan's largest, has attracted over 100,000 visitors to date. This fourth edition will feature five roasters, including Stockholm Roast from Sweden and Simple Kaffa from Taiwan. Experience rare coffees from international roasters and the unique coffee cultures of each country. A talk event will also be held with Eileen Hassi, founder of Ritual Coffee Roasters, a pioneer in the spread of specialty coffee in San Francisco, USA. She will explore the differences between Japanese and global coffee cultures. Tasting tickets (5 tickets for 1,000 yen including tax) will also be available at the venue, allowing visitors to sample small samples of coffee from various roasters.
