Embracing Autumn with Flavorful Coffee Pairings
In a delightful fusion of flavors, BAKE INC., a renowned sweets brand based in Tokyo, has partnered with Sarutahiko Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster, to unveil an innovative product line. Starting October 1, 2025, customers can enjoy the experience of a unique coffee pairing set designed specifically for the autumn reading season.
The Collaboration Inspiration
BAKE INC. has a long-standing commitment to enhancing the enjoyment of their sweets through thoughtful drink pairings. Recently, the company conducted a survey on its official social media, asking followers which beverages pair best with their confections. Remarkably, coffee claimed the top spot, leading BAKE INC. to team up with Sarutahiko Coffee—and thus, the idea of coffee and sweet treats came to life.
Sarutahiko Coffee is known for its rigorous sourcing method termed “Direct Trade,” wherein they establish direct relationships with coffee producers, ensuring exceptional quality. The collaboration resonates with their shared mission: to deliver happiness through quality coffee and sweet treats.
What’s Inside the Coffee Pairing Set?
The collaboration rollouts feature six beautifully curated sets that combine different BAKE INC. confections with handpicked coffee blends from Sarutahiko Coffee. The blends—spanning from medium roast to dark roast—have been carefully selected to complement flavors of popular products from BAKE INC., including the acclaimed butter sand cookies from PRESS BUTTER SAND and imaginative sweets from the fictional WHITEY CONFECTIONERY.
