Let's Visit "Dragon Coffee Shop"
"Dragon Coffee Shop" is a fictional coffee shop born from an encounter with the delightful "ojisan" (old man) and wood designer Ryuji Mitani. Minoru Oya, a coffee roaster and author of "What is Delicious Coffee?" (Magazine House), serves as the hired master, and Rumi Nakamura, an illustrator who visited over 150 coffee shops and illustrated for Masato Izumi's "Tokyo Futsu no Kissa-ten" (Heibonsha), plays the role of a part-timer.
The installation space created by the coffee roaster and illustrator will also feature onion toast from Kissa Aroma, a favorite of the two. From the opening day until July 12 (Sunday), both will be serving at "Dragon Coffee Shop."

Three Types of Original Tenugui Made by Kamawanu on Sale
During the event, three types of original Kamawanu tenugui will be sold: Dragon Coffee, Iced Coffee Blue, and Iced Coffee Tea. The event can be enjoyed even on days without talk shows or coffee classes.
