It is common to drink coffee as hot coffee, but now it is usually drunk as iced coffee.

Is the origin of iced coffee unknown?

Because of the various theories about the origin of iced coffee, we are not sure what is clear. There are some differences, some of which are scattered around the world as their own cultures.

As the origin of chilled coffee, the most influential theory is the Algerian-born drink called "Masaguran".

Coffee and sake "Masa Gran"

Massagland is an alcoholic beverage with cold coffee, sugar and liqueur. It is said that in the nineteenth century, the French spread drinks in colonized Algeria.

It is said that this is the main theory of the origin of iced coffee because it is the oldest in literature.

Iced coffee in Japan

The origin of iced coffee is that the Japanese theory has returned to the Taisho era. A leading theory, "starting to drink iced coffee in Taisho era", is likely to be popular from the fact that the existence of "iced coffee" is described in the menu of Meiji-era Internet cafes.

Through cold iced coffee

Iced coffee spread in Japan is not like making Masaguran that turns ice cubes into coffee. It seems that this is a way to pack coffee in a bottle, soak it in water or ice and cool it. Due to the influence of ice, I avoided the thinning of coffee.

It is said that Japan is the birthplace of this iced coffee.

The origin of irrigated coffee in Indonesia

On the other hand, Indonesia is said to be the birthplace of coffee. Coffee beans grown in Indonesia are strong and have a strong bitter taste and cocktails, so it seems that the form of water extraction has spread to improve the drinking mouth. This drained coffee is called "Dutch coffee".

In Indonesia, refrigerators are difficult to oxidize because they are effectively preserved, so it is a common manufacturing method in Indonesia.

An overview of the birthplace of iced coffee

As mentioned above, as the root causes of iced coffee have been confirmed in various countries, it cannot be said to be born in Japan.

In Japan, there is a culture of cold storage of watermelons and cucumbers in summer, so it may be affected by the birth of Japanese iced coffee.

Massagland in Algeria and Dutch coffee in Indonesia have also developed in their own way, and iced coffee has settled down according to world culture.
