A New Concept Featuring 12 Culinary Laboratories
Opening March 28, 2026
Ogawa Coffee Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Ukyo-ku, Kyoto; President & CEO: Yoshinori Uda) will open its new concept, OGAWA COFFEE LABORATORY Takanawa, featuring 12 distinct laboratories, on the second floor of NEWoMan Takanawa MIMURE.
Led by President and CEO Yoshinori Uda as Creative Director, OGAWA COFFEE LABORATORY Takanawa has been designed as a space that embodies the three core values of creation upheld by MIMURE, whose vision is “Enriching Life for the Next 100 Years.”
MIMURE: Three Core Creative Values
①The harmonious interplay of space, products, and services that cultivates meaningful, emotionally rich everyday experiences
➁The connection to society is fostered by Japan’s essential food culture and dialogue with producers and places of origin
③The creation of a learning community that serves as a first step toward an inclusive and diverse society
A Vast Culinary Space Designed to Enrich the Body and Mind
The fourth location following Sakurashinmachi, Shimokitazawa, and Azabudai, OGAWA COFFEE LABORATORY Takanawa introduces a new concept where 12 laboratories come together within an expansive 4,000-square-meter environment.
In addition to coffee, the facility will feature 11 new categories—sweets, bakery, open kitchen, pizzeria, gelato, chocolaterie, library, delicatessen, brewery, wine bar, and grocery market. These laboratories will work collaboratively to offer services tailored to the individual needs of each guest.
