Tokyo 2025 – Day 5 – Starbucks Reserve Roastery – 03/13/2025: A Coffee Lover's Dream   Okay, so you've probably seen the photos all over social media – the Tokyo Starbucks Reserve Roastery is not your average Starbucks. It's seriously unlike anything I've ever experienced, and they have seasonal items you can only get there. Seriously, it's a must-see!   First off, the location is amazing. It sits right along the Meguro River, and I can only imagine how stunning it must be during cherry blossom season (sakura!). We were a little early for the full bloom, but honestly, the building itself was so impressive, it didn't even matter.   Imagine a modern warehouse, but with a distinctly Japanese origami-inspired twist. The building is huge, with a massive roastery as its centerpiece, surrounded by these incredible chain link structures. It honestly looks like something straight out of a movie – all sleek lines and industrial chic. Serious...

Tokyo 2025 – Day 5 – Meguro City – 03/13/2025: A Relaxing Day   After four busy days, we decided Day 5 needed to be a relaxing one, to soak in the Tokyo atmosphere. We slept in, then had breakfast before heading to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. This was originally planned for Day 2, but got pushed back. The weather was fantastic – sunny and warm after yesterday's rain in Hakone.   We took the train from Senkawa to Shinjuku, then walked, following Google Maps, to the Starbucks. The walk was pleasant. After about 20 minutes, we arrived. The Starbucks looked great.   #Tokyo2025 #MeguroCity #StarbucksReserveRoastery #TravelBlog #Japan #RelaxingDay #TokyoAdventures #SunnyDay #Starbucks
