This spring, he opened his long-awaited roastery in a townhouse near the alley, and started working with Hiroko to support the alley. “We used to display and sell works by artists here, but it was closed for a while.By turning this into a coffee roastery and office in an alley, we hope to connect artists with everyone. I would like to turn it into a place and sell goods.I would also be happy if I could tie up with everyone in the alley."

In fact, a collaboration between Mr. Morio and the residents of the alley has already begun, and the store's logo was created by designer Soma Endo, a resident of the alley.

Morio's goal as a roaster is to create something that even people who don't like coffee can drink. We always have 7 to 10 types of beans on hand, varying the degree of roasting to suit the beans: light, medium, and dark. Why not grab a cup of coffee and take a walk down the alley to find your favorite spot?
