At Maruyama Coffee, we’re involved in the entire coffee process:
from sourcing the beans to pouring the cup.
That way, we can make sure that every sip tastes great
—and communicates a clear message from the grower.
In 1991, Kentaro Maruyama opened the first Maruyama Coffee location in Karuizawa, a resort town in Nagano Prefecture. Ever since, we’ve built a strong, loyal base of customers in the local community and across Japan.
Kentaro Maruyama is a leading figure in the coffee world. Every year, international tasting competitions convene in coffee-growing countries around the world—and no other coffee expert has received more invitations to serve on those judging panels than Kentaro has. He also spends roughly six months out of the year trotting the globe to purchase top-notch beans—which he selects himself—via his ever-expanding personal network. The focus is on distinctive, high-quality beans, which he purchases directly from growers. Once the beans make their way to Japan, we use our unique roasting techniques to turn the raw materials into finished products that retain their inherent charms and deliver rich, flavorful coffee experiences. From wholesalers to individual customers across Japan, people keep coming back to Maruyama Coffee for what they know they can expect: extraordinary coffee, done the right way. We’re looking forward to giving you the experiences we pride ourselves on.
A MESSAGE FROM
KENTARO MARUYAMA
Thanks to all the support we’ve received from our customers and other connections, Maruyama Coffee is celebrating its 28th year in business.
We started buying coffee beans directly from growers in 2001. As we’ve forged relationships with more and more farmers, we’ve been able to serve better and better coffee to our customers. That success would never have been possible without the loyal base of patrons who keep coming back to our store locations and the people across Japan who make Maruyama Coffee their source of high-quality coffee beans. I can’t thank you all enough. We’re committed to bringing the absolute best in the coffee world—great-tasting beans, high-quality products, and top-notch service—to every customer.
From all of us at Maruyama Coffee, thank you. We’re looking forward to serving you soon.
President, Maruyama Coffee Co., Ltd.
