This weekend, the Water Garden Life Creative Art Fair will hold a New year's Coffee Festival.

I just returned from Japan and visited a small coffee shop in Kyoto, which is highly recommended by my friends in Kobe. The name of the store alone is very attractive: "Wife & Husband" is located next to Yachuan, the shop is very small, and the couple stand quietly in the coffee bar in the wooden-framed glass window, concentrating on the rush.

In the dim light space of the two tables and bar area, which can only hold about 10 people, there are the couple's collection of ancient props, dry bouquets, and neatly arranged tiger rattan thermos for guests who want to have a picnic by the river. bring coffee or biscuits, but also provide rental chairs, tables, a very interesting concept, savor life in the sun.

Unexpectedly, in the first week after coming back, the Water Garden was also ready to start the possibility of having a picnic and tea, gathering four experts to make coffee, which made people look forward to it.

In fact, I learned from this trip to Japan that if I focus on doing one thing well, I will achieve accuracy. Every drop of coffee, decoration, and concept conveyed represents my own requirements.

The boss said that he preferred the taste of baking, so he only offered re-baked beans in the store. instead of accommodating because of market demand, he attracted a group of people who loved him, just like we set up stalls in the market. newcomers gather because of our uniqueness, and every hand worker and small farmer has his own idea that he wants to convey. Through peace of mind food, people can connect with nature. So Helen will come up with several works that go with coffee this weekend, and look forward to your participation.
