    REC COFFEE

    REC COFFEE is one of Fukuoka’s most famous coffee shops due to its associations with Yoshikazu Iwase. He’s a two-time winner of the Japan Barista Championship (2014 and 2015) and has been a major influencer in the country’s coffee scene, aside from establishing REC. After selecting the type of coffee you’d like, you can also choose your preferred beans. In addition to espresso, REC also offers filter and hand-drip coffee, with a vision to reconnect with Japan’s coffee heritage. It was the kissaten (a traditional tea/coffee room) where pour-over and siphon coffee all began in the country. REC is striving to create a contemporary take on this long-established tradition while offering some of the best specialty coffee in town. The stylish space boasts plenty of seating where you can relax while you enjoy your brew. REC also sells a variety of home-roasted beans in-store, with the option to try them before you buy.

    Offering more than 10 different types of lattes, manucoffee has played a leading role in Fukuoka’s specialty coffee scene. A few years ago, they opened their fifth store in Shirogane, which is referred to as the Kujira shop.

    Aside from offering outstanding coffee, Manu also regularly hosts artists and musicians for live concerts and events. They take their coffee very seriously and visit their growers once a year to buy beans directly. Carefully check their opening hours before you visit, as they close periodically to roast beans, which can then be purchased at the Kujira store to take home with you.
