Japan's drip coffee
I wasn't a coffee drinker before I came to Japan. Coffee wasn't that big in my country (Ireland) at the time. But it was big in Japan then and still is now. So I first heard of drip coffee, while in Japan.
Coffee is now also big in my home country, but drip coffee isn't. Supposedly, drip coffee is consumed in other countries. I believe it originated in Germany. But Japan, as it often does, has put its own stamp, so to speak, on drip coffee. Kyoto style slow drip coffee, for example, is uniquely Japanese.
I personally don't drink drip coffee often.But today, and October 22nd annually, is Drip Coffee Day. It was established by Brooks Co., Ltd., a mail-order company headquartered in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, which mainly sells coffee and tea products.
Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com
