Beyond
product

"Largo" promises to maintain the highest standard of
quality and delivery
with its continued pursuit for
excellence.

Reason of
Luxury

Coffee beans handled with delicacy

In tandem with unique technology

  • Selected Materials

    Carefully selected coffee beans with
    an
    exceptional aroma and taste.

    "Largo" uses 100% carefully selected Arabica beans.
    Arabica beans are susceptible to pests and diseases making cultivation difficult.
    As a result, they are cultivated with care.
    The rich aroma and well-balanced taste are proof of their superior quality.

  • Quality

    Highest quality maintained by strict
    standards.

    Independent inspections conducted in Japan and overseas at various stages from the country of production to each manufacturing process and shipment.

    Maintained excellence of our coffee is ensured with each and every step of the process being carefully controlled.

  • Roasting

    Preserving the essence of freshly roasted
    aromas
    "Aroma Freezing Process"

    The "Aroma Freezing Process" is a roasting process developed originally by UCC. Roasted beans are quickly cooled to -2°C immediately after roasting, the cool air containing the aroma is circulated to cool the beans, locking the freshly roasted aroma inside the beans.

Fresh Aroma
System

World's First "Fresh Aroma System"

Our production system that maximizes aroma and achieves crema perfection

The "Fresh Aroma System" is UCC's profound manufacturing system that focuses on aroma and freshness, those being key factors for coffee flavor. We incorporate our proprietary technologies in blending, roasting and packaging.

Even more aromatic than immediately after roasting

UCC's distinctive aluminum can for packaging stands as a key factor. Through a three-week aging process within these cans, the overall aroma of the extract increases by 22% higher than immediately after roasting.
The aroma spreads as soon as the can is opened, providing an aromatic performance unlike anything you have ever experienced.

Technology

Coffee Thoughts and Techniques

UCC's technology that creates many "firsts" in
the industry.

The UCC Group's founding spirit of "Delivering
delicious coffee to as many people as
possible,
anytime, anywhere" continues to support its
advanced innovations.

  1. "Largo", The Pinnacle of UCC

    "Largo" creates coffee with an aroma never experienced before, made by aging coffee beans in a special aluminum can using the world's first "Fresh Aroma System," a process originally developed by UCC.

    The birth of UCC's pinnacle brand "Largo" is the result of countless innovations through the years.

  2. World's First Canned Coffee

    One day, Tadao Ueshima, the founder of UCC, bought a bottle of coffee milk at a train station.
    However, the train bell rang unexpectedly early, and without finishing the bottle, he returned it to the store and jumped on the train.

    He thought to himself "Is it possible to make a coffee that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere?"
    This thought led to the creation of the world's first canned coffee, "UCC Milk Coffee".
    Since then, more than 50 years have passed, and UCC Milk Coffee continues to be loved by everyone.

  3. Japan's first coffee bean packaging
    created with a commitment to
    flavor

    Oxidation is the worst enemy to coffee's original flavor and aroma.
    UCC was the first company in Japan to begin manufacturing fresh coffee in vacuum packaging (VP: Vacuum Pack) using oxygen-impermeable wrapping material at the first fully automated factory in the Japanese coffee industry, which was completed in 1970.
    This technology is still used today in the "Coffee Exploration" brand series.

    In addition, UCC has adopted its proprietary manufacturing technology "Super Aroma Manufacturing Method" for VP products, which seals the entire process from grinding to packaging to prevent exposure to air, sealing the freshly grounded coffee aroma into the powder without losing it, and enhancing the aroma at the time of serving.

  4. Japan's first unsweetened
    canned black coffee

    UCC developed Japan's first unsweetened canned black coffee in 1987.

    "UCC BLACK Zero Sugar" uses the "3-temperature natural drip method," in which the temperature of the dripping water is divided into 3 temperature zones (low, medium, and high) to bring out the aroma in the low temperature zone, the balance in the medium temperature zone, and the richness in the high temperature zone.
    To ensure that our customers enjoy the true flavor of coffee, we use 100% fresh coffee with no added flavorings, and continue to evolve by reviewing the roasting, blending, and extraction process.

  5. The crystallization of Passion
    and Expertise in Coffee

    For almost 90 years since its establishment, the company's dedicated spirit has remained the same: "We want to deliver delicious coffee to as many people as possible, anytime, anywhere.

    Our innovations continue to maximize the potential of coffee.

    The premier luxury brand, "Largo", is the crystalisation of UCC's passion and innovation.
