Our Story
The beginning
The theme ” Live myself ” has been a long theme for Kentaro.
While working as a Japanese chef, he has gradually built up his own vision of
real service for customers.
Therefore, he has decided to start his own coffee stand in Okinawa
which integrate new concept and space.
Journey
Kentaro traveled to Portland Oregon in the fall of 2014 for the search of his theme.
There were solid culture such as “do it yourself” spirit, mutual aid, and localism which
was happening all generations.
There was a strong passion in each person`s mind.
They followed their own will with appreciation and love.
Through the journey, Kentaro had figured out his theme
which is to create a coffee stand with new concept.
