Since Blue Bottle Coffee opened its flagship store in Tokyo’s Kiyosumi-Shirakawa in 2015, it has not only won the hearts of locals but also become a must-visit spot on many travelers’ Tokyo itineraries. Whether you’re a fan of indie-style aesthetics or a coffee enthusiast, you’ll be captivated by Blue Bottle Coffee’s minimalist design. Now, following its sixth store in Shinagawa, Blue Bottle Coffee has opened its seventh new branch in Sangenjaya!

This time, Blue Bottle Coffee didn’t just choose the laid-back neighborhood of Sangenjaya for its new location—it also transformed a 50-year-old former clinic into a cozy coffee shop. This gives the brand, often associated with “modern” and “trendy” vibes, a fresh new look. In Japan, “chaya” (tea house) means “a place for rest,” and by setting up shop here, Blue Bottle Coffee cleverly blends retro and modern elements. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and experience the clash of traditional lower-city charm with stylish specialty coffee.

Additionally, Blue Bottle Coffee Japan has collaborated withSeattle-based outdoor lifestyle brand MiiRto launch two new insulated tumblers—the “BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE TRAVEL MUG” and “BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE COMMUTER CUP”—available starting November 1. These versatile cups are designed for both everyday use and camping, and their simple, sleek design has quickly won over online shoppers. Pre-orders are already live, so while you’re visiting the new Sangenjaya store, keep an eye out for these hot new items.

Travelers planning a trip to Japan, don’t miss the chance to see how Blue Bottle Coffee blends historic renovation with stylish coffee at its new Sangenjaya shop—add it to your itinerary today!
