It doesn’t seem that long ago that finding a decent espresso in Tokyo was quite a difficult thing. There were a few Tully Coffee Shops and a few Starbucks but that was it. A wasteland for those needing a real caffeine fix.
Turret Coffee was the exception, down by the Tsukijii Tuna Market, a hole in the wall with some freshly roasted beans and a small operation making delicious espresso.
Some 7 years later we are back at Turret Coffee to check that the quality remains as high and is still living up to it’s moniker of being ‘the most outrageous coffee shop in Japan’. The answer is the coffee remains excellent.
On the day we visited they had a special coffee, a dark cherry latte assumedly this was a Sakura special, and it was like an espresso cherry ripe (delicious).
So if you live in Tokyo or you are just passing through, make your way over to visit Turret Coffee because it is still excellent.
