Japanese Coffee Culture?

Evening all.

So I read a few years ago when I first came across Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee, that 80% of it is shipped to Japan... I was surprised when I heard this, just because JBM coffee is so highly thought of (albeit also considered gimmicky/over-rated by some) so I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this- Quả óc chó giá rẻ

Does Japan have a really great coffee scene or is there some other explanation? At the moment I'm getting excited at the thought of Tokyo being full of top class independent cafes, but I don't want to get carried away just yet...

After all, when you google "Japanese Coffee" - the overwhelming result is some sort of canned, cold coffee sold in vending machines with, for whatever reason, the face of Tommy Lee Jones all over them... Japan, got to love it!
