The Roast — 焙煎
Note — On freshness
Roast-to-order, in small batches, for over two decades.
Green beans are sourced from origins worldwide, then drum-roasted in modest batches behind the storefront on a quiet Sekiguchi lane. Each lot is cut to order — never warehoused, never anonymous.
Beans are served the day after roast: the brief, exact window we have found returns the cup with the clearest line. Acidity settled. Aromatics still forward. Nothing pushed.
Freshly roasted beans, handed over from the next day. A small craft of over two decades — roasted in small batches, to order.

The Slopes — 坂
Two blends, two streets
Named for the slopes outside the door.
The neighbourhood is a topography of small hills. Two of them give their names to our house blends — a quiet record of the route between the roaster and the river.
