Japan's No.1 Coffee
Since 1933, Ueshima Coffee Company has been distilling the unique culture of Japanese craftsmanship into every cup of coffee. The finest quality beans are taken on a journey from seed to sip, and precision roasted under the watchful eye of our Japanese coffee masters for an exceptional flavour.
Where tradition meets innovation
We're dedicated to craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability
Our principles
Discover the unique essence of Japan
For Ueshima the difference lies in our expertise. Honed over eight decades, our distinctively Japanese approach, creates an authentic and unique flavour. Characteristically smooth, bold in flavour, and low in acidity. Our blends capture the heart of Japan’s unique coffee culture and the type of coffee enjoyed in coffee houses and homes across the country.
Craft in every cup
In Japanese culture, becoming a master is a lifetime’s work. Our coffee masters have spent decades perfecting the brewing process. Here is some of their wisdom, distilled.
Better coffee beckons
We know people can be a little bit surprised and intrigued by the idea of Japanese coffee – two worlds which don’t usually collide (in Europe, anyway), merge for something new and different.
That’s why – with the help of Maneki-neko – we’re rolling out a weird and wonderful brand campaign across the London Underground, social media, and video on-demand services (YouTube, Sky, and ITV Hub).
Traditionally found in entrance ways, Maneki-neko – the beckoning cat – is a Japanese icon that brings good luck. So, who better to help us launch Ueshima in the UK?!
We know – it’s a bit unusual. But so are we.
And we think it’s time to let the good people of the UK know, #bettercoffeebeckons…
Huge thanks to Maya Fuji – the Japanese artist who worked on this campaign in collaboration with Nexus Design Studios – and Uncommon London, who helped us launch our first ever ‘above-the-line’ campaign in the UK.
