Starbucks Japan is launching a new concept store, the Starbucks Cafe & Art Gallery Yanaka Gotenzaka, in Tokyo’s historic Yanaka district on March 28. Housed in a two-story wooden building designed by a local architectural firm, the space will function as both a coffee shop and a rotating gallery dedicated to showcasing young, emerging talent through themed and public exhibitions. The inaugural show features works by Karin Hosono, Shotaro Sanada, and Yu Sora, with select pieces available for purchase.
