Okinawa: Unique Coffee Culture
At Okinawa, coffees shops are more unique than other area in Japan.
Almost of them are not so large shops. But owners of the shops have a strong preference for coffee. Such as coffee beans, roasting or ways of drinking.
One of such unique Coffee shops is "MARUI Coffee"
Trade mark of the owner of "MARUI Coffee”
MARUI Coffee
"MARUI Coffee” is the coffee beans specialty shop.
The owner of "MARUI Coffee”, Moriyoshi INAMINE, said
"my coffee is the deepest roasted in the world."
The deeper coffee beans roasted, the sweeter taste of coffee becomes. He said that the important point is “oil" in coffee beans. He roasts coffee beans just before flame up, but the "oil" in coffee beans remaines.
Amazing technique in roasting coffee beans
It is difficult to see timing. He roasts coffee beans not by machine, with handy equipment. It is said that no one can roast as him.
In hot day of Okinawa, he stands in front of fire for 8 hours, roastes coffee beans and watches them carefully.
Like “Yoda” in Star Wars
I feel like he is Master “Yoda” in Star Wars. His ability of roasting coffee is very amazing. But he never boasts of his ability. He enjoys working for coffee.

He roasts coffee beans by hand, so quantity of coffee products is not so many. It becomes sold out immediately. If you want to buy his coffee beans, you should visit shop in the forenoon.
The shop is coffee beans shop, so coffee drink is not available. On weekend or holiday, if you’re lucky to meet owner of shop, you may enjoy tasting of coffee.
