A seat for a bonsai

A bonsai-themed specialty coffee house in a Ginza back-alley — beans roasted at our own Shirafushi roastery and brewed by hand, one cup at a time.

A small coffee house in a Ginza back-alley, arranged around a single living bonsai.

Like bonsai, truly good things endure — a room set for a single cup and a single quiet hour, built on that idea.

Beans are roasted in small lots at our own Shirafushi roastery and brewed by hand, one cup at a time. Plaster, charred cedar, a coffered ceiling — a quiet Japanese café for the five senses.

The room

Plaster, cedar,
lantern light.

Shikkui plaster walls, charred yakisugi cedar, a coffered ceiling. A single bonsai breathes at the centre of the room. Walk in — there is only the next cup.
