COFFEE SOLDIER

Q&A

Two time All Japan Champion Barista Takemoto Shunichi joins us for a chat about the best coffee in Kagoshima

HOW DID YOU GET INTO COFFEE

"

?

COFFEE

I started out as a pâtissier. When making cakes it’s common to make sponge the night before and chill it overnight. I never really liked this. I thought if I had a shop of my own, I would make everything from scratch on the same day.

I was inspired by a professional barista and his dedication to trying to make the perfect coffee right in front of the customer.

COFFEE

High quality coffee is affected by factors like sunlight, soil quality, humidity, and timing of the harvest. At Coffee Soldier we spend a lot of time selecting beans, and we use different beans each year to ensure the highest quality.

I hope that people visiting Kagoshima can stop by Coffee Soldier, take a break and enjoy premium coffee, lovingly made one cup at a time.
