Following its expansion into the Kansai region on March 23, 2018, when it opened a machiya-style café in Kyoto that sparked widespread discussion, Blue Bottle Coffee disclosed in late June that it would open a second Kansai branch – also its ninth store in Japan – located in Kobe.

This Kobe branch continues Blue Bottle’s minimalist store style in Japan, enhanced by the nostalgic atmosphere of the Western-style buildings in the Old Foreign Settlement where it is located, creating a unique coffee space.

A minimalist, design-focused space has always been a hallmark of Blue Bottle Coffee.

Blue Bottle Coffee’s Kobe branch opened on July 20. Currently, Blue Bottle has seven stores in Tokyo, located in areas such as Kyobashi-Hakuraku, Aoyama, Shinjuku, Roppongi, Nakameguro, Shinagawa, and Sangenjaya. The chain’s rapid expansion in the Kansai region has also made Blue Bottle fans curious about where the next new store will be located in Japan.
