“The never-ending pursuit of quality and precision is one of the foundations on which the Japanese culture of craft stands… The entrepreneurial and coffee-drinking spirit of Japan — both the old-school kissaten-style the hip third wave — has inspired much that sense of cohesion was so strong that we felt we simply must bring Standart to Japan, to become a part of the specialty coffee knowledge exchange in one of the most exciting communities in the world. ”“Standart Japan will bring readers the same quality-driven, carefully curated content in three chapters. The pilot issue is an almanac including some of our favorite pieces we published translated into Japanese, and a couple of brand new articles exclusive to Standart Japan.” (Quotes from Standard official website: https://journal.standartmag.com/announcing-standart-japan-c2f1ed56a0e7 )
