Sumiyaki Coffee Hokkaido Blend

Sumiyaki Coffee is a one-of-a-kind coffee created through a Japanese roasting method that uses charcoal to infuse the coffee beans with a smooth, full-bodied flavour. 

Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost prefecture, is renowned for its natural beauty, clean air and water, and stunning mountain ranges. 

With its lower humidity and cooler temperatures to the rest of Japan, it provides an ideal environment for coffee brewing. 

Produced by Sapporo Coffee Kan 

Specialty coffee roaster Sapporo Coffee Kan is a pioneer in charcoal coffee roasting with 35 years of sumiyaki roasting experience. They have searched the world, far and wide, to find the best coffee beans possible to compliment this unique charcoal roasting process. The coffee beans are procured from Columbia, Brazil, Honduras and Indonesia, and roasted in Sapporo, Japan. 

The Pros of Charcoal Roasting 

Sumiyaki charcoal roasting removes the excess water hidden inside raw coffee beans. It preserves the special chemical ingredients within the coffee beans, so they don’t lose their freshness and unique flavours. It also decreases the acidity and bitterness of the coffee. 

How to Make a Brew 

What is the best way to brew Japanese Sumiyaki Coffee? The answer is simple, you can enjoy it using your favourite brewing method, whatever that is. We enjoyed the coffee using a paper filter coffee machine. 

The Taste Test 

We were super excited to get our hands on some Hokkaido Blend Sumiyaki Coffee during Golden Week in Japan. The coffee is a strong, full-bodied coffee with a smoky aroma and a sweet and mellow taste. It has a deep flavour with no bitter aftertaste. I love the smokey charcoal aftertaste after drinking. 

Coffee aficionados can enjoy its unique flavour and qualities, while it's very easy to drink for those who don’t like the acidity or bitterness of regular coffee.
