Any suggestions for decent espesso?
Thanks.

There's a Milan-based Italian establishment, Via Quadronno. With
three Tokyo locations, it should be a convenient matter to locate a
nearby ristorante. Provided The New York Time's recognition of its
own branch, credited for having the best espresso New York has to
offer, presumably for no less than, in like kind, a transparently
transposed service. . . cin cin, or banzai, as may be the case.

Seems I recall the Japanese and a taste for they they in particular
adopted, as coffee came in a large sense instrumental to a build up
and subsequent cultivation from Sumatra and perhaps directly Vietnam.
Curious then how it -was- adapted, if at present largely seen for
mechanized concoctions apart from simply brewing it. As cosmopolitan
as Tokyo is - I doubt it wouldn't be absent, although as for the rest
of Asian interests, perhaps it's a minor role.

He even build his own warm house to plant coffee in Japan.

Maybe you can try Cafe Bach (http://www.bach-kaffee.co.jp/)in tokyo. I
don't know how is the cafe, but I read a book written by the owner
about coffee roasting, it's a very good book.
Here is the link to the map:

When I lived in Japan, I wasn't really all that interested in what I
drank, so I wasn't paying attention to whether a place sold espresso
or not. But, I don't remember ever seeing espresso on any of the
menus there.
The biggest coffee shop chain is Doutor. After that, you'll find
Starbucks and then a whole bunch of smaller cake shops that sell
coffee (that is, small pastry shops that sell a "sit down and drink
coffee with your cake" experience.) Most coffee sold in Japan is of a
much higher quality than what you'll find in the U.S., including most
of the specialty shops here. Doutor sells two drinks - "hot" (which
is a good, strong hot coffee) and "American" (which is a watered down
version of "hot"). Of course, they also sell iced coffee.
Most of my experiences in Japan are a few years old, so espresso may
have caught on over there. But, the Japanese don't really like the
overly sweet candy bar drinks that use espresso, so I'm betting that
if you really want to find espresso there, you'll have to go to
Starbucks.
