Finding the best coffee in Nagasaki
The best coffee in Nagasaki isn't a chain. It's the independent café where the barista dials in espresso every morning, the roastery that names the farm on the bag, the brew bar that takes filter as seriously as espresso. Roasters maps 6 of them.
A quick test for any café in Nagasaki: ask what is on filter today. A specialty bar will name the origin, the process and often the producer, and brew it to order.
