🇯🇵 MOKABLE COFFEE CRAFT plans an October flagship in Tokyo

MOKABLE COFFEE CRAFT is scheduled to open its first flagship in Kuramae, Tokyo, on October 5, following a September crowdfunding launch for its whole-bean coffee concept. The brand turns coffee beans into edible products as well as drinks, and says the new store will give visitors a fuller introduction to that bean-to-snack approach through limited experiences and retail.

Why it matters: Kuramae remains one of Tokyo’s most active small-scale food and design districts, and MOKABLE’s proposed format is distinct from a conventional espresso bar. It is a credible opening watch for readers interested in coffee projects that move beyond the cup without leaving the ingredient behind, although the concept should be judged once the flagship is trading rather than on crowdfunding momentum alone.

World Coffee Championships has confirmed Le Quang Cuong (Nicky), representing Vietnam, as the 2026 World Cup Tasters Champion after the Bangkok competition. The event ran May 7-9 at World of Coffee Bangkok, with 46 competitors and a final ranking that also included Catherine Queiroz, Mehmet Sogan, and Mizuki Tagami.

Why it matters: Bangkok is a Filter Notes city, and hosting a major global sensory competition is a useful marker for readers tracking where the specialty coffee calendar is concentrating attention.
