Tokado Coffee is the domain of Naoki Goto — the 2013 World Coffee Roasting Champion and the first person ever to hold that title. A licensed Q Grader and JCQA Chief Instructor, Goto approaches roasting with scientific precision and an almost spiritual reverence for the bean. The Hakata Riverain shop offers nine carefully selected varieties at any given time, each roasted to reveal its origin character with zero compromise. Goto also collaborated with Panasonic to create "The Roast," a home-roasting system that brings his profiles to domestic kitchens. For anyone serious about understanding how heat transforms coffee, Tokado is a pilgrimage.
