For the first time ever, The Barista League is landing in Tokyo on the 12th of June, bringing its one-of-a-kind barista competition to Japan’s vibrant coffee capital. This high-energy, multidisciplinary event will see top baristas from across the region team up and test their skills through sensory challenges and fast-paced rounds, all judged by industry legends including Yasuo Ishii, Miki Suzuki, Taka Ishitani, Shinsaku Samurai Shin Fukuyama and Daiki Hatakeyama.
As official sponsor, Rancilio Specialty is proud to support the event with its RS1 multi-boiler espresso machine, featuring Advanced Temperature Profiling technology. The RS1’s precision and thermal stability empower competitors to unlock delicate flavor profiles—critical in challenges like the 15-minute Drinks Challenge, where every extraction counts.
Guests can expect more than just competition. Enjoy local coffee roasters, food, fun games, and visit the Rancilio Specialty booth to play the Guess The Temperature Profile game where participants may walk away with a special prize. In a city where tradition meets innovation, The Barista League: Asia promises a night of creativity, community, and unforgettable coffee.
