There are two kinds of coffee shops in Japan.

One is a coffee shop of regular drinks and snacks called "Kissa_ten (shop enjoying tea)".
The other is a special coffee shop called "Kouhii_senmonten (coffee only shop)".

There are many types of coffee beans in special shops.
In a special coffee shop, coffee experts will manually create coffee according to customer's order.
There, a cup of coffee is about 500 yen -1000 yen price.
Light snacks are also offered, but there are fewer types than "Kissa_ten".
A good shopkeeper brews good coffee and a poor shopkeeper puts off tasty coffee.
So customers will be careful and choose shops.
The awful taste shop closes in 1 - 2 years.

There is also an intermediate shop of two kinds of coffee shops.
There are cheaper coffee in fast food shops and convenience stores.
Some shops use machines to make relatively good quality coffee.
The coffee situation in Japan is complicated.
