AMBER&JADE ROASTERS

Step past the roaster just inside the door, and the rich scent of beans sourced from around the globe drifts through the air. Situated along the shopping street in Numabukuro, AMBER&JADE ROASTERS is run by an owner with experience as an international judge for the Cup of Excellence competitions. Taking care of every step personally—from green bean procurement to roasting and precise extraction—the shop draws out the distinct personality of each origin.

A major draw here is tailoring the roast profile to your mood and taste. Prepared hot, light roasts release a sweet, fruity fragrance from the cup, while a dark iced pour offers deep body and roasty depth. The shop also serves decaf coffee roasted differently for hot and cold extractions, preserving full, genuine flavor even when you want to avoid caffeine. French press brewing is a house hallmark, yielding a notably smooth mouthfeel that carries the bean's whole character.

Along the counter, you will find baked sweets to accompany your cup, including madeleines, pound cakes, and daily muffins. These modestly sized, gently sweetened treats pair cleanly with bright acidity and deep roasty bitterness alike.

Upstairs on the 2nd floor, seating offers a quiet spot to settle in. It functions just as smoothly as a regular neighborhood stop for a takeaway cup on a walk or for selecting freshly roasted beans to brew at home.
