Tabelog ratingHoriguchi Coffee Otemachi One is a compact specialty-coffee stand located in the lobby of the Otemachi One building. It stands out for its unique system of nine numbered blends, each representing a different roast profile and flavour, from bright and fruity to deep and rich. The coffee is brewed to order using specialized dripper machines that replicate the precision of a hand-pour, resulting in a consistently clean and well-balanced cup.
Reviewers consistently praise the clarity and quality of the coffee. The blend system is a highlight, with guests frequently recommending #2 for a brighter, fruitier taste, #7 for a deeper roast that works well in lattes, and #8 for a potent but smooth profile. The staff are often described as knowledgeable and happy to help customers navigate the choices to find their perfect bean. The availability of decaf and seasonal single-origin options is also a plus.
The experience is focused purely on coffee. There is no food menu and no dedicated seating; customers use the ample public benches and sofas in the building's lobby. Some visitors find the cup sizes small for the price, and a few have noted that service can be slow during peak times when only one staff member is working. While most interactions are positive, rare instances of unfriendly service have been mentioned.
Expect to pay around ¥500–¥700 for a coffee. Reviewers in 2024–2026 reported paying about ¥580 for a hot blended coffee (like No. 7), ¥550–¥600 for an iced coffee, and ¥630 for an iced latte. Specialty drinks like the Espresso Mojito were around ¥820. For coffee aficionados who appreciate the quality of the beans and the careful brewing process, it offers good value. For those looking for a large, inexpensive coffee or a snack, it may feel pricey.
