Okinawa Kokusai-dori Makishi （那覇国際通り牧志店）

Okinawa is the most southern prefecture in Japan

and also the prefecture where I hail from.

Okinawa currently has a total of 18 Starbucks stores.

The number has grown in the last few years.

But I think this store is one of the most busiest stores

as it is located smack in the middle of the touristy shopping street.

Back at this lovely Starbucks store again!

My good friend Andrew was in town

so a couple of us got together here to catch up.

We even had an impromptu coffee tasting together.

"Coffee machine parts reclaimed from our stores"

Andrew gave me this pretty Starbucks card made from wood!

It was so much fun tasting the new Reserve coffees

and learning about what food goes well with it.

Loved every minute.

Isn't the rooftop patio pretty at night?

Had a fun evening with my friend Jordan

at one of the prettiest Starbucks stores in Tokyo!

We both decided to try Cameroon Mount Oku.

Cameroon Mount Oku

Guatemala Antigua Finca Medina

The barista who made our drinks
was nice enough to make us a small cup of
Guatemala Antigua Finca Medina.

Jordan taught me how to compare the two.

Talking about the coffee beans
and learning about how to smell and sip.
It was actually like a one-on-one coffee tasting.

PS: Jordan is the best teacher :D

Valencia Passion Tea

We were actually there for a pretty long time.

But, you know, time flies when your having fun!
