Baristart coffee is a coffee stand where you can hear all about the milk produced in Hokkaido and its relation to the coffee scene in Japan.
What makes the best coffee? Everyone believes that the most important thing in a good cup of coffee is the beans. Of course, we think so too and in fact, we are particular about coffee beans. We source high quality beans from roasters in both Tokyo and Sapporo to pair with our milk.
So then why is “milk” so important? Because we were born and raised in Hokkaido and we grew up with an abundance of dairy. Hokkaido’s dairy and livestock industry is the strongest in Japan . Over 50% of the milk in Japan is produced in Hokkaido. The cool climate and vast farmland make it ideal for raising cattle.
Since we were children we’ve seen hundreds of cattle roaming across the rich landscape of Hokkaido. A bottle of milk from Hokkaido has been always around us. We would like to show people around the world our lifestyle through a cup of coffee. With that in mind we decided to open a coffee stand which focuses on the uncompromising quality of milk from Hokkaido. That’s the reason why we opened “Baristart”.
