After expanding into the Kansai region on March 23, 2018, when it opened a machiya-style café in Kyoto that created a stir, Blue Bottle Coffee Japan revealed plans in late June to open a second store in Kansai — also its ninth store in Japan — with the location in Kobe.

This Kobe branch continues Blue Bottle’s minimalist style in Japan, while the nostalgic Western-style architecture of the former foreign settlement where it's located creates a unique coffee space.

Minimalist design has always been a hallmark of Blue Bottle Coffee.

The Kobe branch of Blue Bottle Coffee will open on July 20. Currently, Blue Bottle Coffee has a total of seven branches in Tokyo, located in areas such as Kyobashi, Aoyama, Shinjuku, Roppongi, Nakameguro, Shinagawa, and Mikage. The brand’s rapid pace of expansion in Kansai has also made fans wonder where the next new store might be located in Japan.
