Japan was the ninth place of origin of imports from Nicaragua and was the thirteenth country of destination for exports. The Asian country mainly sells coffee, beef tongue, sesame, tobacco, rum, among other products. Nicaraguan coffee is gaining more and more popularity in Japan due to the rise of specialty coffee. Starting this year, one of the largest coffeehouse chains in the world, Starbucks Japan, began selling Nicaraguan “single-origin” coffee, of Nicaraguan origin.
