Starbucks Japan to bring its Shinkansen-platform café to Nagoya and Kyoto
Starbucks Japan will replicate its cashless, takeout-only Shinkansen-platform café — running since June at JR Shin-Yokohama Station — at Nagoya and Kyoto stations from 2027, betting a tighter payment format can make a few square metres of platform real estate work as a coffee shop.
Starbucks Coffee Japan said on 4 August it will extend its Shinkansen-platform café format to JR Nagoya Station and JR Kyoto Station from 2027, opening the two stores in sequence, according to a release on the company's newsroom.
