The Allure of Hokkaido Coffee: A Coffee Culture Nurtured by Nature
Hokkaido is famous for its seafood, ramen, and sweets... but did you know that its coffee culture is also secretly thriving?
Surrounded by vast nature, dedicated roasters carefully roast Hokkaido coffee. This time, we'll introduce you to its many charms.
What is Hokkaido Coffee?
"Hokkaido Coffee" is a general term for coffee roasted and sold in Hokkaido.
Hokkaido is dotted with unique roasters in various places such as Sapporo, Asahikawa, and Hakodate. Coffee brewed carefully, cup by cup, in a cool climate and clear air, is characterized by a somewhat gentle and refreshing taste.
Why Coffee in Hokkaido?
It might seem surprising, but Hokkaido has an optimal environment for coffee:
- Cool Climate - Ideal for storing roasted beans
- High-Quality Water - Abundant soft water, such as melted snow from the Daisetsuzan mountain range
- Relaxed Pace - A culture of careful craftsmanship
Especially Higashikawa Town, located at the foot of Daisetsuzan, is known as a "town of photography" and attracts creative people. Such an environment fosters a dedicated coffee culture.
