There is a popular coffee shop in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. the manager is a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's disease who once dropped out of school because of a "developmental disorder." now he makes good use of his extremely sensitive sense of smell and taste to concentrate on baking delicious coffee beans. The flyer of the coffee shop read, "turn what I can do into something that only I can do," and then his background story was reported by the media and moved many people.

According to livedoor news, Iwano, who suffers from Asperger's disease, has been unable to integrate into the circle of other students since childhood because of his stubborn and sensitive personality, and refused to go to school after he was promoted to junior high school. However, he, who was diagnosed with a "developmental disorder", once went to special education institutions to take classes, but still could not find a way "suitable" for him.

However, during the period when Iwano stayed at home after dropping out of school, his parents also found that his son had some unusual talents. Iwano is extremely sensitive to the taste of food. Even if he tastes the same seasoning, he can tell that he comes from different places. In addition, he has a stubborn personality. If he is interested, he can always do the same thing for a long time.

When Iwano was in the second year of junior high school, an acquaintance gave him a second-hand coffee roaster, which turned on his interest in coffee and spent five hours a day teaching himself to roast coffee beans. Soon after, a well-known coffee roaster from Tokyo went to the area to hold a training course. After seeing Iwano's talent, he decided to coach him personally to make his coffee roasting skills improve by leaps and bounds.

Seeing that Iwano finally found his interest, the parents were so happy for their son that they decided to rent a shop near their home and opened a coffee shop called "HORIZON LABO". They told him not to rise up, but to be the manager of the coffee shop.
