Starbucks Japan has launched a new photo book showcasing 18 of the country's most distinctive coffee shop locations.

The book, designed as a coffee table volume, delves deeper into the unique store designs and the local narratives that accompany each cafe. It features a variety of noteworthy locations, such as the Cafe & Art Gallery Yanaka Gotenzaka branch in Tokyo, which opened recently as a space merging coffee with contemporary art by emerging local artists.
Another featured store is the Yoshinogari Historical Park location in Saga, situated within an important archaeological site representing a major ancient settlement from the Yayoi Period (300 BC to 300 AD). Additionally, the Miyakonojo Kirishima Greenship store in Miyazaki is highlighted, having been developed through a collaborative effort with Kirishima Shuzo, a local distillery founded in 1916.
The book includes a visual preview of the Miyakonojo Kirishima store as it appeared during the design phase, offering an early glimpse of its distinctive aesthetic.
