KIELO COFFEE ROASTERY Opens in Asakusa
On June 25, 2026, the latest addition to the Tokyo coffee scene, KIELO COFFEE ROASTERY, opened its doors in the heart of Asakusa. This coffee shop, developed by After THREE Co., Ltd., aims to become the leading company in the coffee industry, continuing a relentless journey towards success.
A Visionary Young Company
Founded in 2021, After THREE operates two brands: KIELO COFFEE and X coffee, boasting five locations across Tokyo. With an average employee age of only 26 years, the company embodies fresh energy and a commitment to learning, which they identify as their strength. Their overarching goal is to ensure lasting happiness for everyone involved in the coffee industry, emphasizing the importance of quality coffee, a supportive work environment, and contributing positively to society.
Nordic Design Meets Japanese Craftsmanship
The concept for KIELO COFFEE emerged from the founder, Hiroki Yoshike, during his experiences in Finland as a student. He was captivated by the happiness-infused culture of the Nordic countries, which is rooted in their design philosophy, community spirit, and coffee traditions. This rich cultural heritage directly influences the ambiance at KIELO COFFEE, creating a harmonious blend of the extraordinary and the everyday.
The interior features a Nordic design aesthetic paired with pop color palettes, combining it with Japan's exquisite woodworking techniques to create an inviting space. The first floor houses a barista counter offering hand-dripped coffee starting at 800 yen, while the second floor provides an eat-in area for coffee enthusiasts to relax and enjoy their brew.
Coffee from Seed to Cup
KIELO COFFEE's commitment to excellence starts with sourcing the finest coffee beans. Regular cupping sessions allow the team to select from a wide range of 20 to 30 coffee options, often visiting farms across the globe to collaborate directly with producers.
During roasting, they maintain a controlled environment to ensure the beans are roasted consistently, employing roasting profiles tailored to each coffee variety. They primarily opt for Nordic roast styles, enhancing the fruity qualities of the coffee, ensuring a delightfully aromatic experience.
Constantly striving for top-tier quality, the team participates in barista competitions, with each member aiming to achieve unprecedented excellence in their craft. The menu typically features around 20 different types of coffee, providing customers with varied choices reflecting their deep-rooted connections with coffee-producing regions worldwide.
