History
Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo is a Starbucks-operated coffee shop and destination in Aobadai, Meguro, Tokyo. It opened on February 28, 2019, as a four-storey venue designed by architect Kengo Kuma. The building uses wood prominently in its interior and exterior, and includes terraces on the third and fourth floors. Its defining feature is a large roasting and storage installation that extends through the building. The Japanese Wikipedia entry identifies the Tokyo installation as the largest among the Starbucks Reserve Roasteries it describes. The Roastery’s concept brings coffee preparation and roasting together with multiple hospitality and retail functions. The first floor is centered on a main coffee bar, Reserve coffee, a retail area for beans and merchandise, and Princi bakery products. The second floor is devoted to Teavana, with teas such as Earl Grey and chamomile as well as matcha, hojicha, and chai, plus tea-related items and sweets. The third floor’s Arriviamo Bar offers alcoholic drinks, including beer, cocktails, wine, and Japanese sake, alongside coffee and food. The fourth-floor AMU Inspiration Lounge is designated for coffee-related events, training, and community activities. The location offers multiple ways to experience coffee, including specialty Reserve selections and varied brewing methods. Starbucks Coffee Japan’s general coffee information explains that Reserve locations offer a wider range of brewing methods than ordinary stores. The Roastery also sells whole-bean coffee and merchandise through its retail offering and official online-store presence. Its bakery and beverage offer extends beyond coffee through Princi, tea, and the third-floor bar. The Roastery is part of Starbucks’ broader Reserve concept in Japan, where Starbucks Coffee Japan has operated Starbucks stores since opening its first Japanese location in Ginza in August 1996. The company describes its mission as delivering excellent coffee experiences and enriching people’s lives, one customer, cup, and community at a time. The Roastery gives that wider coffeehouse proposition a large, immersive format, with design, roasting, food, retail, and community programming combined in one site. The official Roastery website announced a change to business hours effective October 1, 2026: from 7:00–22:00 to 8:00–22:00. This is a future-effective schedule stated in the supplied official-site evidence.
