Woodberry Coffee

Woodberry Coffee, founded by CEO Musashi Kihara in 2012, started as a single shop in Yoga, Setagaya, and has since expanded to six locations across Japan’s Kanto region, including Daikanyama, Shibuya, Ogikubo, Gakugei Daigaku, and Kamakura. Inspired by Kihara’s experience with specialty coffee culture in the U.S., Woodberry’s mission, "Make The Earth A Better Place," emphasises their belief that coffee can create positive change, connecting people globally and supporting everyone in the coffee supply chain. The brand prioritises ethical sourcing, high-quality roasting, and transparency, earning recognition in Japan’s coffee community with a third-place finish in the 2014 Japan Roast Masters Championship and accolades at the 2020 SCAJ Japan Hand Drip Championship. With certified Q Graders on their team, Woodberry continues to uphold international standards of roasting and brewing, and in 2022, they further committed to ethical sourcing through direct trade with coffee farms in El Salvador.
