A curiosity found in Japan for all coffee lovers.
Japan has become one of the most popular tourist destinations worldwide, and in recent years it has become very common for people around us to travel to the land of the rising sun. It is a place where we can enjoy all kinds of experiences, and one that many people dream of visiting day after day, but what few expect is that it also stands out for its coffee. The city of Osaka, in the Kansai region, is home to the oldest coffee in the whole country.
This is The Munch, a café in Osaka that serves 30-year-old coffee, with a single cup costing more than £500. Its owner, Tanaka, has dedicated four decades of his life to this popular drink, and if you are in the area, it is open every day of the year.
A curious and unexpected way to sell coffee
It is one of the most unique drinks in all of Japan, and goes beyond 30-year-aged coffee to include a 10-year-aged coffee that the owner himself makes by hand for an hour. A moment that may seem long, but becomes an instant when you are in a place surrounded by so much history, and with an owner who is passionate about what he does and the coffee he offers his customers.
A coffee with a flavour as delicious as it is powerful in the case of the 10-year-old coffee, but the 30-year-old coffee is described as an incomparable experience. An incomparable coffee that can also be sampled in a small sample to dispel any doubts about this rarity available in Japan.
