La Casona

Apollon's Gold is a Tokyo roaster that's been quietly building a following since 2017. Their beans come in two flavours of philosophy: an Omni Roast built to work however you brew it, and a Classic Espresso profile for the ristretto crowd. You'll find them in two spots around the city — the Kitanomaru Espresso Bar and the Akasaka Cafe Roastery — so there's somewhere to actually sit and drink the stuff. They also ship worldwide and run a global wholesale side, so you don't need a Tokyo postcode to try them. Worth a look if you want versatile, well-made specialty coffee from Japan.
