Coffee roasters and coffee shops are opening one after another in the Kiyosumi-shirakawa area with its laid-back, old Tokyo feel. The pioneer was The Cream of the Crop Coffee, which opened in 2012. It was the only place at the time that was mainly a roaster, and became popular through word-of-mouth. Today, we introduce some leading roasters and cafes, including those that are a part of an overseas chain and those run by locals, that are making their appearance in the eastern part of Tokyo.
