"Kurasu" is derived from the Japanese word that means “to live” or “lifestyle.” What began as an online homeware venture has evolved to become an internationally recognized leader in Japanese coffee brewing equipment. We also offer a subscription service in collaboration with specialty coffee roasters from across Japan.
You can savor our specialty coffee at our locations in Kyoto, Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, and HK. In 2021, we relocated our roastery cafe from Fushimi Inari to Nishijin. Currently, we roast using Loring S35 Kestrel.
Our mission is to introduce the world to Japanese coffee culture. This includes showcasing coffee products, partnering with roasters, and sharing our signature roasts. Kurasu is not just a retail store for coffee equipment, but also a cafe, a coffee roaster, and a beacon for specialty coffee culture.
