FrontStreet Coffee - Japan's %Arabica Specialty Coffee

%Arabica: The Coffee Shop That Started in Kyoto and Spread to the World

Originating from Discovery Bay, Hong Kong and developed in Kyoto, Japan - in September 2014, Kenneth Shoji and Junichi Yamaguchi opened their shop in a 50-year-old Japanese house next to the historic Yasaka Pagoda in Kyoto. Globally, in just 4 years since 2014, %Arabica, which focuses on minimalist style and specialty coffee beans, has established over 40 stores in 11 countries worldwide.

%Arabica's founder Kenneth Shoji was born in Japan. In Japan, perhaps because coffee shares some similarities with Japanese tea ceremony, coffee is quite common. Japan ranks as the world's third-largest coffee importing country after the United States and Germany. Kenneth Shoji is a coffee enthusiast who has traveled around the world. His rich experience and love for coffee inspired him to create "the world's best coffee." Regarding the logo, he said: "One day I was looking at the % symbol on my computer and noticed it greatly resembled a coffee cherry on a branch. I immediately thought I could use it to build a global brand."

One hundred percent pure taste, one hundred percent coffee dream, one hundred percent high-value coffee shop - all condensed into this large symbol.

The English word "Arabica" in the logo refers to Arabica coffee beans, using %Arabica coffee beans. To ensure the coffee's flavor, Kenneth Shoji特意 purchased a piece of land in Hawaii before opening the shop, specifically to understand the different processes of coffee from planting, harvesting, to processing. A coffee tree can only produce high-quality coffee beans when grown in the right place, with careful cultivation and strict selection. Therefore, every cup of coffee is a concentration of passion and continuous exploration.

%Arabica's philosophy is "See The World Through Coffee," and the world is connected through coffee.
