Amano Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee bean shop in the Shichiku area of northern Kyoto, with a takeaway coffee counter and a few benches. Its stated aim is good coffee at reasonable prices, with specialty beans bought directly from partner farms.

Each lot is roasted to suit the bean and then aged to bring out its character. The range includes single origins from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Papua New Guinea, Brazil and Mexico, house blends and drip bags.
