" Three declarations of Wakoya "

1. Purchasing of "good quality raw beans"

Coffee beans are a crop. Depending on the environment and soil in which it is produced, there is a big difference in quality. Quality is not determined by price alone. Our coffee appraisers carefully check the quality of raw beans and purchase only good ones.

2. Quality and freshness control of roasted beans

No matter how good the quality of green beans is, they are meaningless if they are not roasted properly. Our roaster is a talented person who remains in the finals of the Japan Coffee Roasting Championship, where roasters from all over the country challenge to participate in the world competition. He is one of the few roasters who can determine the proper roasting point of beans with the top-level technology in the country. As for freshness management, we would like to provide our customers with beans that are always in a fresh state by thoroughly controlling the temperature.

3. Suggestions for making delicious coffee at home

Coffee is like cooking. Even with good ingredients, the taste will change greatly depending on how you brew it at home. Our coffee specialists will explain how to use the equipment and how to brew coffee in an easy-to-understand manner, and we will also suggest how to choose beans according to your taste. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or don't know about the equipment or the beans.

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. .
