Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo Alibiamo Bar

Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo opened in Nakameguro, Tokyo in February this year (2019). it has been a long time since we visited the main bar on the first floor andTibana Bar on the second floor, but this time we report on Aliviamo Bar on the third floor.

As you take the stairs up to the third floor, you are greeted by a colorful wall made of Starbucks Reserve coffee cards. As you proceed, you will see a silo that looks like a laboratory apparatus, and further in the back is a bar counter with many kinds of drinks and glasses. The atmosphere is mature, like a bar in a hotel.

Roastery Amber Ale (craft beer)

An extensive lineup of cocktails featuring coffee and tea, available only here. Cocktails and coffees that do not contain alcohol are also available.

Roastery Amber Ale is a craft beer made with coffee beans roasted at Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo. It has a beautiful amber color reminiscent of coffee. The price is 900 yen for a half pint (tax not included).


When you put your nose close to it, the aroma is like beer. But the moment you take a sip, the flavor of coffee spreads brightly. The beer and coffee aromas are linked together to create a deep, rich flavor. Finally, the bitterness lingers on the tongue, leaving a strong aftertaste. It would be great with a pizza from the Italian bakery Princi, which is available for purchase in the store.

Cocktail "Nakameguro Way

The "Nakameguro Way" is a must-try cocktail if you are in Nakameguro. It is made with shaken cold brew, tonic water and Kinot soda. The price is 1,500 yen (tax not included).


The coffee beans used are Tanzanian Iroma. It is characterized by a flavor reminiscent of lemon, and it certainly has a fruity acidity. The taste is complex, with sweetness and bitterness overlaying it. The carbonated bubbles that gently pop in the mouth lead to a refreshing aftertaste.



The bar has an open-air terrace seating, so you can enjoy a drink while gazing at the Nakameguro cityscape. When you visit Roastery Tokyo, you can enjoy the unique and creative cocktails that only Starbucks Reserve can offer.
