I think the difference between coffee and other indulgences lies in its “versatility”.
From roasting to extraction, there are surprisingly many steps where the consumer can personally intervene.
That’s why I believe a cup of coffee carries the person themselves.
What they are particular about and what they value.
A person's values and sense of aesthetics are reflected in the brewing gestures and the flavor.
The interesting thing about coffee made by a person is that it precisely mirrors “their individuality”.
There is no right answer for taste; preferences are displayed plainly.
Brewing coffee and having someone drink it—that act itself is already a form of communication.
And coffee also contributes to creating a “space” that makes a person's individuality shine most vividly.
A café is a place where you can set aside your status or title and simply be yourself as an individual.
A free pause within daily life.
In other words, as a third place, it loosens the contours of the heart and gives you time to return to your authentic self.
Activity Introduction
At “Kissa Aoi” in Yodogawa‑ku, Osaka City, coffee‑loving youths use their own roasted beans to carefully brew and deliver coffee, putting their heart into each cup.
We also offer a daily‑changing lunch and homemade sweets designed to pair with coffee. From the equipment and bean varieties to the brewing method, each staff member's particularities are expressed in every cup.
Please enjoy the ever‑changing aromas and flavors together with a tranquil moment.
We also operate as a morning service and a pop‑up café, allowing you to enjoy coffee with a different character each time you visit.
Greetings to Readers and Enthusiasm for the Event
All the members of Kissa Aoi who are participating this time are fourth‑year university students.
Coffee that we have devoted ourselves to throughout our university life—please enjoy a cup of that passion.
