■ What is “Arabica Kyoto Arashiyama”?

"Arabica Kyoto Arashiyama," located in a charming area at one of Kyoto's famous tourist spots.

Located about a 10-minute walk from Arashiyama Station, our shop is situated in an area where you can enjoy many quintessentially Kyoto sights, such as the Togetsukyo Bridge and the Katsura River.

The store has glass walls and a modern atmosphere that’s incredibly stylish.

When you think of this store, its “%” logo is pretty well-known, isn’t it?

I’ve heard that this logo was designed so that people would recognize it at a glance when the owner launched the coffee division.

Its resemblance to coffee cherries is obvious to anyone who sees it, and because it’s so familiar to people around the world, it quickly became popular.

Operated under the concept of “Seeing the World Through Coffee.”

The Arashiyama branch is located along the Katsura River, and with its lush, green scenery, you’ll be captivated by the atmosphere even before you place your order.

This is a small coffee stand—a modern-style shop with a white color scheme that retains the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese house.

Inside the shop, there’s a display of green coffee beans from all over the world, which really conveys their passion for coffee.

This company owns a coffee farm in Hawaii and, in addition to operating as a green coffee bean trading company, has also entered the business of distributing “Slayer Espresso”—the world’s premier espresso machine—and is opening franchise locations in various locations.

Our current main store is located in Higashiyama, Kyoto.

A lot of people actually come here after seeing it on social media like Instagram♪

■ The coffee at “Arabica Kyoto Arashiyama” is delicious…♡

The "Slayer Espresso" espresso machine is used even in cafes with a global presence.

This machine is generating a lot of buzz because it allows baristas to adjust the water volume and extraction temperature, enabling them to serve the best espresso.

With traditional machines, one drawback was that it was difficult to vary the flavor of drip coffee, but now baristas can control the entire process—including pouring hot water and letting the coffee bloom—to create their own unique brews.

That’s why the flavor varies slightly depending on the shop and each barista on any given day—and that’s part of the appeal of being able to enjoy an authentic taste.

The menu features simple offerings such as espresso-based coffees and pour-over coffee, yet the café attracts many customers every day.
