In a precinct of central Tokyo, surrounded by inspiring historical sites, we are roasting to bring the flavors of each terroir and season. Initially started as a small coffee shop, Apollon's Gold is always an artisanal small batch coffee roaster. Our coffee has been loved by so many coffee enthusiasts and featured by the best renowned coffee shops in the world.
Each single batch is roasted by our experienced roaster/owner and gets through rigorous cupping sessions operated by our tasters with multiple experiences in food and beverage industries. Roasting, quality control and green purchase, each task is independent in Apollon's Gold so that each feedback shall be free from bias. This system enables us to keep elaborating the quality of our coffee.
Our roasting is renowned for unique "omni roasting" style thanks to our experience of Italian style espresso roasting in the very beginning of the career. We are mainly aiming to bring each coffee's potential sweetness to achieve omni roast so that each coffee speaks its terroir by the brightness. We are using CoffedSR5 classic drum roaster with unique profiles that especially focuse on the drum rolling speed and the airflow setting.

He has been mainly engaged in mixology industry here in Japan with classic cocktails and several years of career as a barista. This multi talented guy is also doing photo shooting and cocktail recipe creation for Apollon's Gold brand.
We love all those delicious coffees yet we would say Apollon's Gold team is a big fan of micro climate: always trying our hardest to bring the best out of each terroir. We see that especially when the cultivar matches the land perfectly. Mainly sourcing bright washed coffees along side some delicate natural process coffees that would make the terroir shine. We are especially enthusiastic to source classic coffees (Brazil naturals, Costa Rica honey and most washed coffees) as we believe that those coffees would represent our roasting style and philosophy the best. Of course we are always looking to introduce some outstanding/competition style coffees from all over the world regardless of the processing and cultivar!
