Kurasu Kyoto (Nishijin Roastery)

The Nishijin Roastery is where Kurasu sources, blends, and roasts the coffees served across its Kyoto network, doubling as a coffee bar open to the public in the quiet weaving district north of the city centre. Lighter in foot traffic than Ebisugawa, it offers a more intimate sense of the Kurasu production process and a back-catalogue of roasts not always available at the flagship. The collaborative spirit is evident in the brand's long-running Kurasu Partner Roasters program, which highlights independent Japanese roasters each month.
