We collaborated with our local cafe and coffee roaster, Kabuki, to produce our original blend, carefully hand-dripped. We change the way we roast and blend three times a day, to serve a taste that suits the different hours of the day.
Our unique variety of natural wine, sake, craft beer, carefully selected by the NOHGA team, pairs to accentuate the natural flavor in each of our dishes. Including variety, we also highly value the background of each product: the ingredients, the water quality and the manufacturing process.
The NOHGA HOTEL original blend of Kabuki coffee is served throughout the day, from morning to night. Enjoy the "essential Japanese taste" in the specialty beans that owner Yusuke Kabuki had selected himself while personally visiting coffee farms.
