Japan has exceptional quality coffee, and it has nothing to do with any American influence. Coffee syphon bars are very popular. Many of the world's best and most expensive coffee ends up in Japan, as can be clearly seen in COE auction results.
Forget about roasting your own coffee, as it may not be practical in many of the apartments and is likely to set off smoke alarms.
As to price, it is hard to guage value. Assuming the quality is good (and it should be) the price seems fair. Give it a go and report back your findings.
