Allpress Espresso Announces Relocation From Tokyo to Nagano in Fall 2026

Allpress Espresso Relocates to Nagano

Allpress Espresso, an esteemed specialty coffee roaster, has announced its decision to close the Tokyo roastery in Kiyosumishirakawa and relocate to Miyota, Nagano, in the autumn of 2026. This transition marks a new chapter for the brand, which has been a staple in the Tokyo coffee scene for over 12 years, providing quality coffee to numerous partner cafes across Japan.

A New Beginning in Miyota

The decision to relocate aims to enhance Allpress' capacity for growth and sustainability within the specialty coffee industry. The new roastery will be situated in the cultural and natural hub of Miyota, located at the foot of Mount Asama. Here, Allpress plans to not only continue its roasting and shipping operations but also to expand its reach into the Asian market.

Miyota has garnered attention both domestically and internationally for its unique blend of nature and culture. Allpress has chosen to establish its new facility within MMoP (Miyota Multi-Purpose Complex), a vibrant cultural hub that promotes various aspects of local lifestyle through art, photography, and culinary events.

Embracing Community and Culture

The essence of MMoP aligns with Allpress' vision of creating an open community. By leveraging the unique atmosphere fostered by MMoP, Allpress aspires to elevate not just the quality of its coffee but also create a space where people gather, converse, and exchange ideas—essences that coffee embodies.

This new location will not only house roasting and shipping functions but will also serve as a venue for various events and activities aimed at educating visitors about coffee culture and the rich narratives behind it. Engagement with the community through such initiatives underscores Allpress' commitment to its values.

Memorial Products to Celebrate Tokyo's Legacy

In conjunction with the upcoming closure, Allpress has crafted a series of memorial products. These items, designed to honor the relationships built and nurtured at the Tokyo roastery, will be available starting April 27, 2026, at both the physical café and online store.

- Arita-yaki Coffee Mug: Handcrafted by renowned Arita porcelain master Kazuhisa Iwanaga, these mugs are designed with both comfort and style, resonating with Allpress' legacy. Available in tile blue and greige, they retail at 3,600 yen (tax included).
- Memorial T-Shirt: Featuring a unique illustration by Chie Kamiya, an illustrator and former café owner, this T-shirt captures the everyday beauty of the Tokyo roastery life. Available in off-white and black options, it retails for 5,800 yen (tax included).
- Kiba Blend: Once the main blend during the Tokyo roastery's early days, this coffee is set to return in July 2026 with refined profiles, offering a balanced and approachable taste that resonates with many coffee lovers.

Celebrating a Legacy Through Events

In the lead-up to the closure of the Tokyo roastery, Allpress plans to host various events designed to appreciate and reflect on the journey shared with patrons. These gatherings will provide opportunities for coffee lovers to connect and celebrate their experiences, solidifying the strong community bond that has flourished within the Tokyo café.
