A master coffee artisan from Japan, who spent 22 years researching coffee and developing roasts for a renowned Japanese coffee brand, has now arrived in Taiwan. At “Takumi Coffee,” he distills those decades of study into every cup, blending beans to match their individual characteristics and fully express their aroma and flavor. In Japanese cafés, coffee is traditionally paired with wagashi; Takumi Coffee continues this custom by teaming its brews with daifuku. They selected the championship “King’s Daughter” rice daifuku—far more delicate than ordinary mochi, it melts on the tongue. The sesame version is the most popular online vote-getter. Together with a cup of “Japanese Takumi Coffee,” hand-roasted in the classic Japanese style for a clean, well-balanced profile of acidity and bitterness, it becomes an unmissable Japanese sweet set.
