Nowadays, it is impossible to talk about "delicious coffee" without mentioning specialty coffee.

From seed to cup. These are the words at the heart of the mindset that runs through specialty coffee. From the seed stage, to the seedling, the fruit being harvested, and the cup of coffee being made into a cup of coffee, proper management is essential for good coffee.

There are various professions in the process from seed to cup, and each requires skill and knowledge. (Quality control, raw bean appraisal, roasting, extraction, etc.) Among them, competitions held annually for the purpose of improving technology in each department are also attracting hot attention from inside and outside the industry.

The winner of the competition is sent to the world competition as a representative of Japan, and this time competes with representative players from all over the world. Recently, Japanese world champions have also been produced. The level of competition in Japan is so high that even passing the qualifying round is a narrow gate. Even in Japan, there are podiums in one or two categories, but podiums (within the top three) in three categories with different specializations are a rare achievement.

Wakoya was founded in 2009 as a specialty coffee bean specialty store in Fukui, and has been single-mindedly facing coffee to improve technology and knowledge.

We believe that each and every thing we have done with the idea of ​​doing everything we can for "delicious coffee" has become our knowledge, technology, and results in the competition. .
