As promised;

Joining a Japanese Coffee Contest: The video!

Here is the video of last week’s article (and in case you missed it):

Joining a Local Japanese Coffee Brewing Competition

And here are some photos from the day:

With Junichi, The Dark Horse, and Kaede-san.

Kaede had an awesome t-shirt!

With Kaede-san, a true inspiration!

2Goshitsu from the outside. Very unsuspecting, but very cool inside!

The certificates came with these awesome cups!

Kaede’s path to the final, she had to win four rounds, not the usual three!

The following are photos by Odera-san

Follow her Instagram here! She posts some really cool stuff from Yamagata and the surrounding areas, including many cafes.

All 9 participants.

My trusty red Kettle, called a Tsuki Usagi ‘Rabbit on The Moon’.

Ryota couldn’t wait to try some of my amazing coffee.

This guy was intense, I learned so much from him!

What else would you like to know about coffee in Japan? Let me know, I’ll see what I can dig up :)

Ka kite ano,

Tim.
