Coffee lovers around the world are talking about a unique cafe in Japan that serves what is described as one of the oldest coffees in the country.
Münch Cafe in Osaka has gained viral attention for offering aged coffee varieties, including a signature 29-year-old brew reportedly priced at more than ₹65,000 per cup.
The unusual offering has fascinated travellers and coffee enthusiasts online.
Aged for nearly three decades
According to viral social media posts, the cafe’s owner, popularly known as Tanaka-san, has dedicated years to ageing coffee beans for exceptionally long periods.
Visitors can reportedly choose from several aged options, including 10-year-old coffee and the rare 29-year-old version.
Even a spoonful tasting sample of the oldest brew is said to cost around ₹1,800.
What does it taste like?
Those who sampled the coffee described the flavour as syrupy, woody and sweet, with a rich, intense character unlike regular brews.
A 10-year-aged coffee was also described as bold and strong after being brewed slowly for nearly an hour.
The cafe’s vintage atmosphere has further added to its growing popularity.
Open almost all day
Reports say the cafe operates daily from 6 am until 3 am, attracting both early risers and late-night visitors.
Its old-world charm and rare menu make it a standout destination in Osaka’s vibrant food scene.
