Our second tent pop-up is complete!

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by 😊

It was such a joy to chat with those I met for the first time today as well as those who came back to visit again!

I’m also so glad that I could share every single bean from our very first batch, supplied by the wonderful @hitachino_coffee_roastery 🥹

I truly love these moments of connecting with everyone through coffee—it’s what makes this so special for me.

To the customers I kept waiting due to operational hiccups, I’m truly sorry… This time revealed several areas for improvement, and I’ll work hard to ensure things run more smoothly and create an even more enjoyable experience next time!

Speaking of next time, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be setting up shop at @village.market.tsukuba! When I first moved to Tsukuba, I remember visiting Village Market and being struck by its lively, welcoming atmosphere, thinking, “Someday, I’d love to have a spot here.” I wondered if it might be too soon, but I couldn’t wait any longer and decided to take on the challenge 🫡 (so nervous!).

Many amazing people I admire will also be there, so I’m feeling a mix of nerves and excitement, but I’m determined to enjoy the experience to the fullest! I’ll share the schedule details soon 😉
