Specialty coffee brand "JM COFFEE" will open its first overseas flagship store, "JM Coffee Ginza Lounge," on the first floor of Yurakucho Itocia in Tokyo on Friday, August 14, 2026. A soft opening will begin on August 8.
Since its founding in 1999, JM COFFEE has pursued excellence in every step of the process involved in a single cup of coffee, from sourcing green beans and roasting to brewing, dessert development, and even interior design.
Based on the technology and commitment to quality cultivated over 27 years, we have continued to grow as a coffee brand in South Korea and have gained the support of many customers.
With this expansion into Japan, we aim to deliver the brand philosophy we have cultivated over the years to our Japanese customers and propose a new specialty coffee experience.
Choosing Tokyo as the first step in overseas expansion
JM COFFEE chose Tokyo as the first step in its global expansion.
Tokyo is Japan's leading economic and cultural center, as well as an international city that attracts many people from all over the world.
This city, where tradition and innovation coexist, and where diverse values thrive, is the ideal location for JM COFFEE to share its brand values and coffee experience with the world.
"JM Coffee Ginza Lounge" is not just their first overseas location.
This is our first flagship store for the world, embodying the coffee technology and brand philosophy we have cultivated over 25 years.
EXPERIENCE LINE
EXPRESS LINE
A new coffee experience proposed by "JM Coffee Ginza Lounge"
At JM Coffee Ginza Lounge, we offer specialty coffees, along with our brand's signature menu items and seasonal offerings.
Our goal is not simply to be a place that serves coffee, but a space that connects people, time, origin, and brand through a single cup of coffee. We design our brand experience from both the menu and the space itself, so that you can naturally feel the unique characteristics (terroir) of the land where the coffee beans were grown and the passion of the producers.
Furthermore, "JM Coffee Ginza Lounge" has introduced the brand's unique Dual Coffee System.
We offer two styles: the EXPRESS LINE, for quickly enjoying your everyday cup of coffee, and the EXPERIENCE LINE, for savoring rare specialty coffees brewed slowly using the hand-drip method.
You can choose the perfect coffee experience to suit your individual lifestyle and mood on any given day.
The interior space is designed to accommodate everyone's preferences, from those who just want to pop in for a short while to those who want to savor their coffee at a leisurely pace. From your everyday cup to your special occasion cup.
JM Coffee Ginza Lounge serves as a brand hub proposing a new specialty coffee culture, offering customers a rich coffee experience.
Future prospects
The opening of JM Coffee Ginza Lounge marks the first step in JM COFFEE's global expansion.
Starting with Japan, we will continue to develop locally rooted brands around the world, respecting the culture and lifestyle of each region.
Based on the coffee philosophy and craftsmanship we have cultivated over 25 years, we will provide new coffee experiences to customers around the world, while cherishing and nurturing the unique charms and stories of each region.
"Global Coffee, Local Passion"
Under this brand philosophy, JM COFFEE aims to be a global coffee brand that maintains consistent quality and value everywhere in the world while harmonizing with the unique culture of each region.
