This long history and experience brings depth and flavor to the coffee at Arum Coffee Shop.
Hand-drip brewed coffee
At Arum Coffee Shop, coffee is not just a drink, but a story that is unleashed from each bean.
Here, the story is told in each cup through the careful method of hand-drip.
The owner selects the best coffee beans, grinds them with precision to maximize their characteristics, and brews them at the proper temperature.
Depth of Golden Mandarin
For example, the Golden Mandarin coffee bean is characterized by its strong aroma, richness, and moderate acidity.
Offered at 500 yen per cup, this coffee has the charm of changing the mood of the day with just one brew.
Baristas carefully grind the beans by hand and take their time to brew the coffee with hot water adjusted to 80 degrees.
Each drop traps the original flavor of the coffee bean in the cup.
A drink to be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere

Special time with coffee
Brewing coffee is an art form at Arum Coffee Shop.
The owner selects the beans, grinds them, and carefully drops each drop into the cup.
The process itself provides peace of mind and special moments for visitors.
Through coffee, small communication between baristas and customers is born, which is an important time at Arum Coffee Shop.
In this way, at Arum Coffee Shop, each hand-drip coffee is not just a drink, but a story and a connection between the customer and the owner.

For example, cherry blossom mousse in spring, mango tart in summer, and other seasonal sweets await you.
Of particular note is Arum Coffee Shop's signature chocolate cake.
This cake attracts many repeat customers because the chocolate is not too heavy and the sponge is just the right amount of moist.
And the store's signature blend of coffee to enjoy with the chocolate cake.
This coffee is easy to drink with a hint of bitterness, making it a perfect match for chocolate cake.

Asian beans also have a heavy body and a subdued aroma.
At Arum Coffee Shop, when customers select coffee beans, we ask them what kind of flavor they prefer and what kind of equipment they use to brew their coffee, and then we suggest the best beans for them.
