Now that November has arrived, the mornings when we gather for event load‑in preparations are wrapped in a slightly crisp, cool air.
As the venue preparation progresses, the fragrant aroma of freshly brewed coffee begins to drift gently, and I feel, "Today looks like it will be a good day as well."
For us, coffee is not just a beverage; it is a "trigger" that connects people.
It can start a conversation or serve as a signal to take a short break.
Just having that one cup makes the event’s time flow a little more gently and comfortably.
We hope that those who are drawn by the aroma and pause their steps can enjoy serendipitous encounters and warm conversations.
With that sentiment, we will carefully brew each cup on the day of the Japan Coffee Festival.
Activity Introduction
We are based in Ibaraki City, Osaka, and focus our activities on event booths.
The number of booths we will have in 2025 is about to reach 50.
Even so, this year we have taken on new challenges such as starting our own roasting, introducing a semi‑hot‑air roaster, and holding a market for the first time organized by Flavor.
In addition to event booths, we also spend about a week each in spring and summer assisting at coffee farms on Amami Ōshima and Tokunoshima, where we have had a connection since the founding of our circle.
Guided by the motto "Deliver coffee that serves as a catalyst for connecting people," we will continue to move forward step by step.
Greetings to Readers and Our Enthusiasm for the Event
This will be our second booth at Asahi‑dori Shopping Street!
Having become stronger than last year, we will do our utmost to deliver delicious coffee.
