It was when I was in fourth grade. I became obsessed with baking. The world of baking wasn't that sweet. The cakes that were made in large quantities were far too sweet. Without anything else, there was no room to finish them. So, from then on, I encountered a drink that would accompany my life. Yes, coffee.
This is the story of my encounter with coffee, but each person has their own encounter with coffee. Through such encounters, coffee, which was initially a special beverage, gradually blends into everyday life—like sugar dissolving in coffee. That once-sweet coffee becomes bitter through time and experience, and then transforms into a richly aromatic form.
I think there are many kinds of encounters with things and people. In that context, their nature changes over time. I believe that cherishing and enjoying each moment as it changes is the first step to enriching life, because that moment will never come to you again. Why not turn your attention to the present moment?
