Rokumei Coffee, the specialty brand founded in Nara in 1974, opened its second Tokyo outpost, Rokumei Coffee Shibuya Scramble Square, on March 5, 2026, and debuted a location-exclusive Shibuya Scramble Square Blend created exclusively for this location. The new café sits on the second floor of Shibuya Scramble Square, near the Stream-side entrance at 東京都渋谷区渋谷2-24-12 スクランブルスクエア 2F, and is listed as 98 meters from Shibuya on local transit information.

The Shibuya Scramble Square Blend is built from beans sourced in Colombia, Ethiopia, and Costa Rica and is roasted at light to medium-light levels. Company copy describes the cup as offering "bright fruit notes reminiscent of white peach and lychee, layered with nectar-like sweetness and a crisp, clean finish." The blend is designed "to reflect the dynamic spirit of Shibuya" and, according to the launch materials, "Mirroring Shibuya’s ever-evolving cityscape, the blend’s composition will change with the seasons."

Practical details for shoppers and commuters are explicit: business hours are weekdays 08:00–21:00 and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 09:00–21:00, and the shop lists a contact number of 03-6421-0303 for inquiries. The store's facade and interior were described as a "bright glass façade" that "blends seamlessly with the vibrant movement of the city outside, creating an open and welcoming atmosphere." The retail area is noted as well-stocked with drip bags, café bases and other coffee products, and two opening lucky bags were offered, labeled Coffee Bean Lucky Bag and Drip Bag Lucky Bag.

Menu prices and bakery sourcing are provided: espresso is listed at ¥480, drip coffee decaf at ¥650, and a Dried Fruit Pound Cake is priced at ¥490. Baked items come from the brand's Rokumei Bakes operation, with copy specifying "All breads and baked goods are supplied directly from Rokumei Bakes, the brand's own bakery café, made with Nara Prefecture-grown wheat and rice flour and minimal additives." Photographs and captions associated with the opening show other baked options such as a Black Soybean and Hojicha Pound Cake and retail packaging for drip bags and an "Original Blend 'Shibuya Scramble Square Blend.'"

Company background provided with the opening notes that the head roaster "has won the Japan Coffee Roasting Championship (JCRC)" and that Rokumei's baristas "work closely with each customer to recommend a cup that suits their taste and occasion." The brand mission appears in the materials as a simple guiding line: "spread a circle of happiness."

The Shibuya shop is presented as part of Rokumei Coffee's push to expand its presence in Tokyo and to offer a city-center space that "offers visitors a place to pause and find a brief moment of calm within the city’s flow." With the Shibuya Scramble Square Blend slated to rotate with the seasons, the new location doubles as a retail outlet and a seasonal tasting window into Rokumei's roastery work and Nara-rooted bakery supply.
