Building on the remarkable success of its flagship store in BGC, Key Coffee Kissaten proudly announces the opening of its newest branch at Opus Mall. The new location brings its signature blend of Japanese coffee culture and Italian-Japanese culinary artistry to a wider Filipino audience.
The Opus Mall branch, which soft-opened on January 11, 2025, continues Key Coffee’s century-old legacy while embracing the innovative culinary concept of Itameshi. This style, which blends the words “ita” (Italian) and “meshi” (Japanese for meal), harmoniously fuses the rich culinary traditions of both cultures.
Since its establishment in 1920, Key Coffee has been a cornerstone of Japan’s coffee culture. The brand has pioneered numerous innovations in Japan’s coffee industry, including the introduction of the kissaten culture, the renowned Blue Mountain coffee, and Toarco Toraja. Today, through Key Coffee Kissaten キッサ, the brand continues to bridge tradition and modernity, offering a contemporary interpretation of the classic kissaten experience.
The menu features a blend of traditional and innovative dishes. Kissaten Classics—crowd favorites such as the Horje-San Truffle Egg Sandwich, Kissa Veggie Chips, Okonomiyaki Fries, and Crab Ikura Udon—are complemented by new creations. The pasta selection includes Mushroom Shoyu Batā Pasta, while premium donburi options showcase Wagyu & Onsen Egg and Wasabi Ginger Glazed Salmon variations.
The Napori Signatures section introduces Italian dishes reimagined with Japanese techniques, including appetizers like Corn & Edamame Arancini and Sicilian Sashimi, and main courses such as Kaisen Seafood Pasta and Udon Carbonara. Specialty pizzas, such as Roasted Pomodoro, Amarena Formaggi, and Salmon Gravlax, offer a unique twist, alongside comfort foods like Buta Bianca Doria and Beef Hayashi Donburi.
