Coffee in Japan


Yes, Japanese drink coffee. Japanese are tea-drinkers, but they drink a lot of coffee too. They usually like it thicker and stronger than in the States - it's more like European-style coffee. Although many people brew fresh coffee at homes, others use instant coffee. They can get the western brands as well as Japanese brands in any supermarket.

Coffee is not usually served in japanese-style restaurants. But you can get coffee whereever western food is served. And there are coffee shops everywhere in the cities.

The coffee shops are probably more European than American. They're more for relaxing over a cup of coffee than for grabbing a fast snack. You can sit in the coffee shop for a long time - even read a book there, and you won't be asked to leave.
