My wife\u2019s family is from Issou in Yakushima (and that\u2019s why I run a coffee shop in Yakushima).<\/p>\n<p>I have a chronic bronchitis. When I&#8217;m in Tokyo I have a terrible cough, but I don\u2019t cough at all in Yakushima.<\/p>\n<p>In the morning, I usually get up around 7:00, my son leaves for school at 8:00, and then I start roasting coffee beans. I hope that people can enjoy the sweet and fruity-bitter taste of the coffee more than anything.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Beginning with \u201cBlue Bottle Coffee\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>I went to an organic marketplace called \u201cFerry Building\u201d in San Francisco, and I happened to come across a pop-up style \u201cBlue Bottle Coffee\u201d shop.<\/p>\n<p>The cafe latte that I had there was very delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Looking closely, information such as organic milk and fair trade coffee beans was specifically written.<\/p>\n<p>It was very impressive because a lot of consideration was given in order to introduce lots of things without being overbearing. It made me want to open a similar kind of coffee shop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What Yakushima gives<\/h3>\n<p>When I am in Yakushima, I can take time to stop and think.<\/p>\n<p>If I ran a coffee shop in Tokyo, new trends would gradually force their way on me, and I would feel like I\u2019m losing my own style.
