I go to Yokoi Coffee for our regular bulk purchase. Sankakuraifu: Impressions of fragrant nuts. "Sankaku" represents the connection between the customer, producer, and Yokoi Coffee. This is a favorite brand that is easy to drink. Yokoi Coffee Blend: Well-balanced, smooth texture. This was the first blend created in 1996 when the company was founded. Tsubo: Impressions of bitter chocolate. This is the darkest roast blend at Yokoi Coffee, and also a favorite. Momiji: Flavors of brown sugar, milk chocolate, pear, syrup-like texture, smooth and sweet aftertaste. I always buy and enjoy the seasonal blends. Today, I got the blend of the day as a straight drink to enjoy on my way home.

I've seen this particular coffee bean being used in cafes around the city, and I finally decided to visit "Yokoi Coffee Hakkon Honten" which I've seen a few times. Unfortunately, the "Paseo store" had to close down due to Paseo's closure, but the business itself is apparently celebrating its 27th anniversary this year. It's a truly old and established coffee shop, but I arrived completely unaware that you couldn't actually drink coffee inside the store. In the back, the roasting machine was making a clattering noise, and the owner seemed to be adjusting the machine. The atmosphere was more like a roasting factory than a coffee shop. Despite this, I cluelessly asked, "Can I drink coffee here?" The girl who responded seemed a bit puzzled and whispered, "We only do takeout." I ordered an Americano (hot) for 500 yen, which was ground with a mill and brewed using a hand drip method. Before transferring it to a takeout cup, the owner handed me the "Mama Blend," which is a limited edition blend for Mother's Day. It consists of three types of medium-roasted coffee beans, with a base of Bolivia balanced with Guatemala and Ethiopia. The flavor profile includes impressions of peach, papaya, floral notes, honey sweetness, and a gentle mouthfeel. It's a blend with a wish for a comforting Mother's Day. I enjoyed it on a bench in a nearby park. The medium roast coffee had a pleasant bitterness, a hint of acidity, and a sweet aroma, creating a high-quality balance. Personally, I think it could have been even better with a bit more beans. I hope they will continue to operate a cafe in the future.

During my first visit to Teine in December 2022, I had some delicious large servings of Chinese food. On the way back, my companion mentioned a shop that sells delicious coffee beans, so we used the navigation system to find the place. Since we were not familiar with the area, we relied on the GPS. However, when we followed the directions, it led us to a residential house. We had to press the intercom, and they told us to go around to the front. Surprisingly, there was indeed a shop there. I wonder why the GPS directed us to the back entrance (laughs). Later, when I checked on "Tabelog" website, I noticed that many reviewers had visited this place. Looking at the map, I realized it was actually quite close to where I used to work in Miyanosawa. I really am directionally challenged. Inside the shop, there was a counter and a roasting machine in the back where the male owner seemed to be roasting coffee beans. I prefer my coffee strong and deep, so I took the recommendations of the female staff and bought two blends. "Tsubo!" 1,620 yen for 200g, the deepest roast in the shop, it was a bitter coffee that I really enjoyed. "Yukidaruma" 1,620 yen for 200g, a seasonal blend available until February 28th, it was a slightly sweet and refreshing coffee with a deep roast, also very delicious. They had a wide variety of blends, and the coffee was really tasty. Unfortunately, the "Yokoi Coffee Paseo Branch" has closed down, so if I want to drink their coffee again, I'll have to go all the way to Hassamu, which is a bit of a downside. I would definitely visit this shop again if I happen to be in the area.

On the way back from Tsutaya, I stopped by Yoko Coffee, a beautifully maintained coffee shop that doesn't look like it's been around for over 20 years. They offer a space inside where you can enjoy coffee, but today I bought an iced latte to go. It was a delicious iced latte with a rich coffee flavor.

I'm in the area around Hassamu Station. I took a break while walking because I got thirsty. I came to Yokoi Coffee Shop. The shop is located in a residential area. I've had Yokoi Coffee at other stores before, so I had a general idea of what to expect. When I entered the shop, I found out it was a takeout-only place. It was hot, so I ordered an iced coffee. They explained that it's a coffee made with Brazilian Pinhal beans that they plan to release in September. I took a picture outside and then drank it while walking. This coffee was surprisingly lightly roasted. The ice was a big piece that was crystal clear. When I tried it, it had a strong acidity! Because it's lightly roasted, it had a refreshing taste and strong acidity. I've never had an iced coffee like this before. It was really delicious! The ice was pure and the water tasted good too. I often think hot coffee is delicious, but I've never been so impressed by how delicious an iced coffee is. It was truly a delicious iced coffee! Thank you for the meal!

When it gets hot, the symptoms worsen, it is a designated rare disease by the government. Unfortunately, there is no medication that suits me yet. This review is based on my condition and consultation. Likes and comments may be delayed, thank you for your understanding. [August 2019] "Yokoi Coffee" is a specialty coffee shop. This is the main store, with a branch at JR Sapporo Station Paseo. I had an "Espresso Tonic" at JR Sapporo Station Paseo, which was just to my liking. After lunch at Ion Mall Sapporo Hassamu store, I decided to visit. I visited for the first time with my usual companion. This shop is located in a residential area near Kuwanon and Hassamu Street in Nishi Ward, Sapporo City. Please check the exact location of the shop on Tabelog. The shop is made of wood, and it feels like a part of a house was renovated into a store. Therefore, the entrance is difficult to enter with a wheelchair or walker. I decided to have an "Espresso Tonic M" at the terrace seat next to the shop. While waiting, I was offered a cold and good-tasting "Iced Coffee" for tasting. After a 6-minute wait, the "Espresso Tonic M" appeared. ■ Espresso Tonic The base is espresso, properly cold. It is black, but slightly sweet and acidic. The tonic drink has a strong taste of carbonation. It tastes more like a refreshing soft drink than an adult taste. Price: M 724 yen (tax included) It is a delicious iced drink suitable for summer. The base espresso feels light, and the tonic taste is prominent. It tastes more like "Coffee Tonic" than "Espresso Tonic". It's not bad, but it's a taste slightly different from my preference. It's a good era where you can drink anytime. My mother's time at "Hokusei Girls' School" was in the midst of the war, and she did not study at the girls' school. She was forced to work under the guise of "labor service" behind the scenes of the war, as shown in the photo. Every day, she walked from Maruyama to perform roller pulling at "Kyokusyu Aviation" or sew parachutes at a factory, and sorted food for soldiers. Regardless of how far the factory was, she had to walk there and back. On her days off, she turned the school grounds into a field to grow vegetables for the boarding students. It was a very valuable source of food for the boarding students. There were no summer or winter vacations, just days of "labor service" for the war. Originally, "Hokusei Girls' School" was founded in 1887 as "Smith Girls' School" from the name of a missionary. In 1894, it became "Hokusei Girls' School" based on the advice of Inazo Nitobe. After the war, the school building had a church and flush toilets, so it became the base for the GYQ activities. Therefore, she couldn't receive proper education even after the war. Especially during the war, it was very difficult with only two meals a day due to food shortages. More than half of the female students forced to work in "labor service" couldn't even bring sweet potatoes for lunch and had to get by with just water. Of course, no one could bring rice balls or any rice. Raised by such a mother, I was taught not to waste any food served. Currently, many food items are being discarded in large quantities due to expired expiration dates. My mother, who laments this situation more than anyone else. Next time, I think I'll buy coffee beans for iced coffee. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Located quietly in a residential area, this shop is constantly visited by locals. I came here wanting to drink authentic coffee for a change! I thought it was a specialty bean shop, but I was delighted to find out that they also offer takeout. Since it was hot that day, I opted for an iced coffee. I chose Guatemala! It costs 500 yen. The price varies depending on the beans. The coffee had a slightly grainy texture, with a finish that had the perfect match of chocolate-like sweetness and acidity! Delicious~. They even pay attention to the ice they use! I'm definitely coming back for more. Thank you for the meal!

March 2019, I visited "Yoko Coffee" to purchase a White Day gift for my mother-in-law. Originally, I was planning to buy the gift at Katayama Coffee in Shinkotoni, but they were unexpectedly closed when I arrived. It was quite a hassle to walk there. I ended up walking for an hour to get to Hassamu. This is for my mother-in-law from my father-in-law, just kidding! On Valentine's Day, he said he didn't want chocolate, just beer as a gift. What a cheeky son-in-law, right? (laughs) So, as a thank you for the beer gift, I decided to give coffee as a gift. After purchasing the gift, they offered me an espresso or an Americano to enjoy. Such a service-oriented shop. The Don Mayo espresso was delicious with a refreshing taste and a solid body. I also bought a souvenir for my wife. With the share I received, I made a café au lait (unsweetened, decaf) by mixing it with milk. It had a light and easy-to-drink flavor. You can gulp it down easily.

It's not a cafe. It's more like a place to buy beans.

This is a store that sells beans. It is not suitable for use as a cafe. The beans are probably not freshly roasted, but roasted a few days ago. When brewed, they do not expand much.

On a certain holiday, I started walking from Hoshioki in Teine-ku and arrived at a coffee bean specialty store near Aeon Hassamu. The shop is located quietly in a residential area, so there are few passersby. Inside the shop, it truly lives up to its specialty store status!! In the compact space dedicated to bean sales, I found a splendid roasting machine in the back, and large sacks of coffee beans under the counter. As a formality, I happened to drink a take-out product in a corner. The BGM was guitar listening music. From the menu on that day, since it mainly focuses on bean sales, there were few take-out products, but I discovered a drink with a mysterious name, even though I was expecting just iced coffee! When I heard that it was coffee with carbonation, I decided to try the "Espresso Tonic M (627 yen)." ...Huh? Suddenly, the lady asked for my phone number, was she trying to seduce me? I thought, but she actually wanted to confirm if I was registered as a customer (^｡^;). If you politely explain that it's your first visit, she will ask, "Would you like to register?" (^｡^;), if she's trying to flirt with you, she will let you know, but if not, she will politely decline. And so, with a sip... Oh! It's sweet and sour, isn't it~♪. This is already a drink that is quite different from coffee. It's like a "juice with the flavor of coffee" thanks to the slightly sweet and sour lime in the Ethiopian Gracho beans and tonic water, which, combined with the refreshing taste, made me feel like having another cup in the latter half♪, but I remembered the price and gave up. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the refreshing taste of this first experience. Thank you for the meal.

"I found a great cafe called 'Yokoi Coffee' in Sapporo with a friend. We were actually planning to visit a coffee shop that was listed in our notes. It's located in a residential area and not very noticeable. When we entered the cafe, we realized it was actually a coffee bean shop. I asked if we could drink coffee inside, and they said yes, as long as we purchased beans from them. I chose a Colombian bean for my coffee. I ordered an espresso and an iced coffee to drink inside. Surrounded by coffee beans, I felt happy. The espresso had a bit of acidity despite what they said, but the iced coffee was delicious. Towards the end, they offered us a French press coffee experience, which was also enjoyable. I ended up buying a French press machine from them. A few days later, I received a thank you card from the lovely ladies at the cafe. Overall, it was a wonderful experience at this coffee shop with a lot of dedication to their craft."

In 2017, I visited the main store of Yokoi Coffee located in Apia, underground of JR Sapporo Station, to purchase some coffee beans. I got lost in a residential area while driving there, but thanks to the map on Tabelog, I was able to find my way to the store. The interior of the store is beautifully themed around coffee, with coffee-related items displayed everywhere. It's quite impressive. I purchased the limited blend "Chi-Ka-Ra" exclusive to the main store, and tried it at home. Chi-Ka-Ra has a strong acidity, more sour than bitter. I usually prefer bitter coffee, but this one is also good in its own way!

This is a small but well-known specialty coffee shop in Nishi-ku, Sapporo, specializing in coffee beans from Central and South America. There are many shops that handle specialty coffee these days, but I often visit this place because I like the way they roast their coffee. The staff show a lot of love for coffee, and you can expect to have a great encounter with delicious coffee here. The coffee oil is also very delicious, so I recommend it for those who drink coffee with a French press or metal filter. This time, I purchased Honduras Los Yoyos, which had a rich aroma and tasted delicious. I will definitely come back again.

Since purchasing my coffee machine, I have been relying on a bean shop for my coffee needs. They grind the beans specifically for espresso, and while other shops can't seem to get it right, I always end up going to Yokois. They offer seasonal limited edition beans, and although they are a bit pricey, you can always count on delicious coffee without any disappointments. When you buy beans, they always offer you a complimentary drink while they grind them, and their cappuccino is especially amazing! I don't know if it's the milk they use, but that creamy texture is something you can only experience at that shop. If you love coffee, be sure to give them a try!

It seems that this coffee shop is very famous in Sapporo. It is located in a residential area, not facing the main street. You can buy coffee beans there, and they also offer complimentary Americano, cappuccino, or espresso to drink in the store. However, it would be nice to have a café space to enjoy the coffee on site. I bought Yoko's Favorite (100g for 520 yen) and Brazil Sitio San Francisco de Assis (100g for 1200 yen) this time. Yoko's Favorite wasn't as strong as I imagined, I prefer something sweeter. The Brazil coffee was amazing, living up to its reputation as the 1st place in the Early Harvest COE. I realized that I prefer coffee with a fruity and floral taste. I will try a single origin with a richer flavor next time. This famous coffee shop has left a good impression on me, but there are still many places to explore!

A cute logo peeks out quietly on a residential street alley. Located in Sapporo and popular in cafes and restaurants across Hokkaido, this hidden gem coffee shop is called "Workshop Yokoi Coffee." Recently renovated, the shop now has a natural wooden exterior. It used to be smaller but has expanded a bit, with a standing bar inside. When you purchase beans, you can choose between espresso, coffee, or cafe latte, and enjoy a complimentary coffee (sometimes iced coffee in summer). You can stand at the counter in the back and enjoy your coffee. The original blend, single origin, and seasonal recommendations offer a variety of over 30 types of coffee. My favorites include "Itsumo no Sanban," "Yokoi no Haru," and "Yokoi no Tsubo." The shop staff are helpful in explaining the flavors and offering samples. The flexibility of the shop, along with the quality of the coffee, makes it a personal favorite. I usually buy "Itsumo no Sanban" and try different beans each time. The shop also offers gift sets with French press equipment, making it a great place for coffee lovers. Overall, Workshop Yokoi Coffee is a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts.

When I used to live in Sapporo, I knew this place where I would often buy coffee beans. It's a bit hard to get to from the central area of Sapporo, but this time I had a rental car so I decided to stop by. This place is known as a specialty coffee roaster. They go on buying trips to Costa Rica, Brazil, and other producers with renowned roasters like Maruyama Coffee from Karuizawa, and then roast the beans themselves to sell. They not only sell in-store, but probably also wholesale to various shops and sell online. The reason I come here is because every time I visit, they make me realize the deliciousness and uniqueness of their coffee. The small shop doesn't have a cafe, just sales, and in the back, there's a big machine for roasting beans. When you buy beans, they make you a free cup of drip, espresso, or cappuccino, and it's really amazingly delicious. I ordered a cappuccino. Just like the description on the beans in the store, the aromas of orange, blackcurrant, chocolate, etc., really come through, one by one! It's hard to feel this kind of aroma when you brew it yourself (maybe there's a difference between home espresso machines and professional ones), so it's surprising when you take a sip. And since it's the same beans, it makes you want to try to make it like this yourself! They also occasionally hold cupping classes (tasting sessions?) and other events in the shop. I envy the locals. They also collaborate with manufacturers to plan sweets that go well with coffee, and seem to be involved in barista contest-related work. It's really impressive how they are active in various fields from such a small shop. This time, I bought Costa Rica Sin Limites and Costa Rica El Bosque Villa Sarchi for my espresso machine. After going back after a long time, I once again felt the greatness of this shop and their beans! From now on, I'll try not to be stingy with the shipping and buy from them occasionally.

I purchased "Itsumo no Ichiban" 100g (520 yen) and "Itsumo no Niban" 100g (520 yen) at the workshop Yokoi Coffee. This is a specialty coffee shop that I have always wanted to visit. The shop is located in a residential area. I had visited the area before on my way back from AEON Hassamu, so even though I am directionally challenged, I was able to find it without getting lost. I have only tried "Itsumo no Ichiban" so far, and it has a refreshing taste and is very easy to drink. When you purchase coffee beans, you get a free cup of coffee, so I asked for a cappuccino. It is a standing counter. I am not a big fan of standing while eating or drinking, but in the cozy and calm atmosphere of the wooden interior with soft lighting, I was able to relax more than I expected and enjoyed the drink very much. Along with the purchased beans, a pamphlet and a drip bag coffee were included. I would like to purchase the drip bag coffee for busy friends as a gift in the future. The coffee beans were categorized as follows: - Refreshing type - Mellow type - Rich flavor type - Elegant/Fruity/Floral type This time, I purchased from the refreshing and mellow types, but I am interested in the elegant/fruity/floral type of coffee. Next time, I would like to try selecting from those genres as well. They also sold bodum products that I like. I would like to purchase the bodum Pavina Double Wall Glass someday.

I went to Yokoi Coffee, a workshop located in Nishi-ku, Hassamu. After stopping by Tokyo Milky Cafe, I stumbled upon this place with sparkling neon lights in a residential area. The shop itself looks like a regular house renovated, with lots of wood giving a warm feeling. Inside, there is a counter on the left, coffee equipment on the right, and in the back, there seems to be a workspace which I couldn't see. They are a specialty coffee shop with a variety of beans, and I bought the Sanban beans recommended by them. They also offered me two other beans to taste with different brewing methods, which was very generous. I had a cappuccino, beautifully made with latte art, and tried their truffle chocolate which was a nice addition. I also bought filters as I ran out, and they provided instructions on how to use them. The staff was friendly and the overall experience was pleasant. The Sanban beans were categorized as a relatively dark roast, but I personally prefer darker roasts. Nevertheless, the coffee was delicious. When I am in the area again, I will definitely purchase from them. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
