MuuCOFFEE has launched two new coffee blends in Ebina, Japan, available from July 31, 2026. These innovative “sake coffee” drinks use craft beer and gin made from bread crusts, created in collaboration with local brewery Better life with upcycle.
The products combine local craft beverages with coffee, offering a unique taste experience. Pricing aligns with typical specialty coffee in Japan, with drip bags starting at ¥280 and larger packs at ¥1,000.
About MuuCOFFEE and the Collaboration
MuuCOFFEE, based in Ebina City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is known for developing “sake coffee”—a blend of coffee with various types of Japanese alcohol. This latest collaboration involves Better life with upcycle, a brewery operated by a long-established local bakery, which produces craft beer and gin using leftover bread crusts. This upcycling approach creates new value from ingredients that would otherwise be discarded.
