Moroccan coffee brand Bacha Coffee has opened its first Japanese flagship in Tokyo’s Ginza district, marking a significant step in its global expansion.

The flagship occupies a three-storey site in Ginza 5-chome, one of Tokyo’s most competitive luxury retail precincts. Covering 377sqm, the space combines a ground-floor retail boutique with two upper-level coffee rooms, positioning the location as both a retail and hospitality destination.

Design cues draw on Bacha Coffee’s origins at Dar el Bacha in Marrakech, adapted for the Japanese market through the use of red ochre tones, black-and-white chequered flooring, geometric lattice details and carved cedar wood.

The Ginza location carries more than 200 varieties of 100 per cent Arabica coffee sourced from 35 countries, including Yemen, Ethiopia, Jamaica and Hawaii. The range includes single-origin coffees, blends, flavoured options and Naturally CO2 Decaffeinated coffees. 

“Our address in Ginza is much more than a boutique: It is an iconic showcase for Bacha Coffee in Asia,” said Maranda Barnes, chief commercial officer of Bacha Coffee.

“We want to offer much more than an exceptional coffee: this destination is a true invitation to travel, a place where each cup tells a story of craftsmanship, passion and savoir-faire.” 

Earlier this year, the brand confirmed plans to grow its presence in Japan through a franchise partnership with local railway operator The Tokyu Group.

Bacha Coffee currently operates 37 locations across 14 cities in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, including Paris, Seoul, Dubai, Singapore, Taipei, and Hong Kong, and has outlined plans to establish a presence in major global capitals by 2030.
