3 unusual teas and coffees to discover absolutely at Kafé Buki
In this Japanese coffee shop located in the Sentier, come and discover 3 rare and unusual teas and coffees as well as Japanese pastries signed Tomo.
A place of life at the crossroads of contemporary and ancestral Japan, Kafé Buki, located in the discreet fishmonger’s street, guarantees an immediate change of scenery with its post-industrial décor, designed by Michaëla Mesguich, where light wood and metal meet brick, all lit by red suns (Taiyo in Japanese) which represent the Japanese goddess of the Sun, scattered everywhere. From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., people come to work (wifi and sockets available), read manga from the library (available for sale), watch one of the videos dedicated to Japan on one of the giant screens or simply chat with friends.
Founded by Olivier Tordjman, a lawyer with a passion for Japan, and Nir Chouchana, bartender-barista one of the most recognized in France, Kafé Buki also stands out for its ultra-sharp menu of drinks where you can enjoy roasted coffee for the home and organic teas, which is accompanied by Japanese pastries signed Tomo such as matcha or black sesame mochis, cakes or dorayaki, as well as a must-have marcha/white chocolate fondant. Among the liquid creations to be discovered are the following:
Le matcha Kurimu
Bright jade green, matcha tea is immediately recognizable by its bitter and vegetal taste. If the matcha latte is now a drink on the rise (whether it is prepared with milk or white chocolate), its version topped with Kurimu offers an alternative that is all the more regressive and interesting in the mouth thanks to its matcha whipped cream that breaks the bitterness of the tea.
The 24h coldbrew
Cold brewed by drip for 24 hours, the cold brew is served iced and is distinguished by its velvety and deep taste and impressive concentration of caffeine. Prepared for 24 hours, it is served the next day.
Siphon coffee
Prepared from beans carefully selected according to the season and roasted by the house, the coffee prepared with the siphon is unlike any other. Invented in the nineteenth century in Europe and recovered by the Japanese at the beginning of the nineteenth century, this technique exalts the taste of coffee like never before and the experience is worth a look.
Café Buki, 20 Rue Poissonnière, 75002 Paris, open from 8am-6pm
