How long have you been doing business in Boston?
Ogawa Coffee has been serving the Boston community since May 2015. We proudly
opened our first international shop in the city, bringing our dedication to coffee perfection
from Kyoto, Japan, to the U.S.
What does your company do?
Our company, Ogawa Coffee, is deeply rooted in the art of coffee. Originating from
Kyoto, Japan, since 1952, we specialize in cultivating the finest beans, meticulous roasting,
and serving exceptional coffee, ensuring every cup meets our high standards of quality
and customer care.

What are the benefits and challenges of working in the U.S.?
Expanding to the U.S., specifically in Boston, has allowed us to immerse ourselves in
American coffee culture, enriching our coffee production and exploring new possibilities.
While this presents the opportunity for cultural exchange and learning, navigating the
diverse market preferences and establishing our brand in a competitive landscape are
among the challenges we face.
What is your favorite thing about Boston?
Our favorite aspect of Boston is its vibrant culture and history, which resonates with
our values of tradition and innovation. The city's appreciation for quality and craftsmanship
in coffee makes Boston an ideal place for Ogawa Coffee to share our Japanese coffee
culture and dedication to excellence.
