Do the Japanese people as a whole not drink coffee in the morning.

Here I am up at 5:00 a.m. and can't find a cup of Joe LOL

I did find a 24 hour store across the street where I could buy a cup. Not the best but it does the trick until the CL opens at 7 a.m. (which I find to be late as well)

Just curious as to why thats all

7-11, Lawson, Family Mart all have full auto drip, or espresso type machines. Also McCafe (if available in your 'hood) should be available 24 hours a day. The convenience store by the cup coffee is nominally better than the canned, bottled, cartoned coffee !
