This list will guide you to the cheapest – and most expensive – coffees in the country.
While Japan has made a name for itself around the world for its high-quality green tea, which comes in a variety of styles and flavours, there’s also a thriving coffee culture here too. For many Japanese, drip coffee is their drink of choice, and when it comes to finding a place to sit down and enjoy a cup of Joe, there are a number of popular coffee house chains where you can pull up a chair.
With so many coffee houses around the country, the problem then becomes knowing which one to visit. Here to help clear things up for everyone is Japanese illustrator and Twitter user @utinoinu2, who recently shared this graphic showing the price of coffee at different cafes around the country.
