SHIKISHIMA COFFEE FACTORY

Founded in 2020 in Shikishima-cho, Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, with the theme of "enriching daily life with pleasure."
We are a coffee roaster located in a nature-rich area, adjacent to Shikishima Park, one of Gunma Prefecture's largest parks. Our store design reinterprets the Japanese aesthetic of "KISSA," and we primarily use siphon brewing, which, despite its foreign origin, symbolizes Japanese coffee culture.

Our air-conditioned roasting room is equipped with three roasters of varying sizes and a cupping space. We strive daily to offer our customers new discoveries and stimulating coffee experiences through coffee. Since coffee is a luxury item and customer preferences vary widely, we offer a range of roasts from light to dark.
We focus on roasting each bean to suit its characteristics, striving to bring out its individuality without compromising its flavor profile or inherent qualities. Within this, we explore the distinctiveness of the producing regions and roast with a commitment to the coffee's "texture" and "sweetness."
　
Additionally, our shop employs a Q Arabica Grader, an international coffee appraiser certified by the Coffee Quality Institute. We store green beans in a suitable constant-temperature warehouse, measure and record their moisture content. For each roast, we verify the roast level with a roast color analyzer, remove defective beans through a process called hand-picking, and thereby extract a clean flavor with rich characteristics.

Currently, with the evolution of times, various sourcing routes have become available. We strive for a diverse range of sourcing, from small-scale direct trade to numerous unique trading companies, reflecting the small yet varied nature of a micro-roaster.
While securing seasonal origins, we take a comprehensive view of processing, varietals, and roast levels, aiming for a lineup that enriches our customers' daily lives with the joy of coffee.
Our slogan is "LOCAL (small production areas) TO LOCAL (small consumption areas)," and we are committed to identifying even smaller, more segmented production areas and connecting them to small consumption areas, such as where our shop is located.

In addition to the existing large-scale flows, we believe that bringing the appeal of coffee to small local regions through small, intricate areas like capillaries and through agile micro-roasters will enhance the overall richness, depth, and breadth of specialty coffee. We plan to further commit to what local consumption and micro-roasters can achieve in the future.
