As the largest Starbucks in the world, Starbucks Reserve Roastery certainly can't let us go in and out. Therefore, you need to get a ticket in the waiting room next to the entrance. The system will call 10 numbers each time, so you can basically enter within 10 minutes. Just hand the waiting ticket to the staff in front of the gate, and they'll help you open the door and let you officially enter this coffee spot!

The entire building was designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, using the wood and local elements he is best at, so we can feel the warm and harmonious atmosphere from the scenery in front of us. In the central dining area, we were able to enjoy coffee and pastries while watching the staff prepare drinks.

Next to the restaurant area is the shopping area, where a professional clerk will introduce you to the different coffee beans one by one. The black screen on it, which looks like an airport indicator, changes every few minutes, showing various types of coffee beans. In addition to that, you can also buy souvenirs with Starbucks Roastery printed on them here!

Each type of coffee bean has a brief introduction, and Bolivia, which was being promoted at the time, was also available for us to sample. After we have selected and purchased, the clerk will ask us if we want the original coffee beans or coffee powder, then carefully pack them and attach a beautiful small card so that you can save the coffee bean information.

The most remarkable thing about Starbucks in its entirety is the world's largest coffee bean roaster. The whole device penetrates through each floor, and you can see that the coffee beans are being transported in a transparent rubber tube, and the huge container in front continues to fry the coffee beans, making it the rich coffee in our cup.

The copper pillar next to the coffee tub is designed using Japanese origami. In addition to the iconic Roastery lettering, there are also numerous red bronze cherry blossoms scattered around, like a bronze cherry blossom tree, reflecting a different light as time passes.

Apart from the space on the first floor, the second floor is the largest Teavamna Bar in the world. In addition to placing various teas for visitors to buy, they also offer different specialty drinks according to the season. The wall design on the second floor uses Japanese washi as a design concept to experience traditional Japanese culture. In addition, there is Asia's first Starbucks cocktail bar on the third floor. In addition to promoting Italian aperitives, it also offers a variety of Starbucks mixes for visitors.

The second-floor Teavamna Bar has beautiful cards with a variety of teas, and is one of the most popular places to check in.

After visiting the complete building, we went back to the first floor and ordered 2 cups of coffee and a small cake. Each cup of coffee comes with a matching small card showing where the beans are produced. We spent a relaxing afternoon in such an open space.
