When I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, I encountered coffee at a department store event. I couldn't forget the deliciousness of the cup I drank then, so I actually visited that shop. What shocked me there was not only the taste of the coffee. I was strongly attracted by the barista's pleasant service and the warm atmosphere of the whole shop, and since then I started going there almost every week.
As I kept visiting the shop, I wanted to recreate that flavor at home, so I began brewing coffee on my own, teaching myself. I became engrossed in the deepening flavors that changed with each brew, and the fun and excitement eventually led me to enter a competition that judges extraction techniques.
What I cherish is the 'atmosphere' that attracted me at that time. When serving coffee to customers, I strive to provide hospitality that allows them to enjoy not only the taste but also the atmosphere and experience of the place. To me, coffee is not just a beverage; it is a precious thing that taught me about human connections and the richness of space.

Activity Introduction
Our Aoyama Coffee Enthusiasts Club operates under the motto 'Coffee with Fellows. Fellow and Mellow times. — New encounters through coffee —'. In our regular activities we practice drip brewing, latte art, food pairing, café hopping, and we also set up stalls at school festivals and coffee events.
This year, through a pop‑up café, we were able to create opportunities for the new encounters that are the core of our motto.
We hope that, in this event as well, our coffee can become a catalyst for new encounters.
Greetings to the readers and enthusiasm for the event
We are the Aoyama Coffee Enthusiasts Club.
Every year, we look forward to participating in order to connect with the local community in Suita through coffee.
This time, we have prepared a house‑roasted blend coffee that can only be enjoyed at this event.
We will have warm coffee ready for you. Please feel free to stop by!!
