I'd say coffee is popular everywhere in the world now. They have Starbucks over there, that should give you some clue.

You mean that type of coffee that is made from the beans that were crapped out by Civets? I kinda doubt there will be many who Japanese who'd want to pay 50$ for a cup of coffee... but, of course I might be wrong.

Are you kidding? The Japanese are the largest consumers of Kopi Luwak in the world.

I saw that on a TV show in Japan. The "talento" went nuts for it.

Talento?

Don't think I've ever seen a Japanese program where the talento didn't go nuts over just about anything they tried!

kopi luwak (civet coffee) definitely is the best coffee. if you have tried it, you would know what the difference.
the taste very smooth.
anyway, does anyone know where i can try to sell this product in japan?

Actually, as with everything, the best coffee is really a matter of opinion. Most people agree that Indonesian coffee in general is not for everyone. If you really want to see what everybody else thinks, Where is the Best Coffee in the World?

Long story short, it appears as if Brazilian is the favorite, although again, it's really a matter of opinion. I've never had Brazilian coffee, I hate Starbucks, and really, the only coffee I like is the one from my own island, to me, all the others leave something to be desired.I don't drink that much anymore, as it's not really healthy anyway.
