Yoshinobu Kimura
We met Yoshinobu Kimura in December 2023, at his restaurant in the Minami Aoyama district of Tokyo.
A dinner together with our partners from Koffee Mameya surpassed our every expectation; we were in awe of the artistically curated experience.
The restaurant, aptly dubbed ‘M’ for marriage, showcased precise and experimental servings, thoughtfully paired and paced for an authentic and confident union of flavors.
We delved deeper into conversation, learning more about Yoshi’s fascinating journey as a sommelier and restauranteur. With Rituals, we witness firsthand his love for sake, sushi, and the colorful expressions of Tokyo.
Rituals
We seek inspiration both within and outside our field, collaborating with talented creatives who share our drive, passion, and curiosity about various aspects of life. Each of these connections, however fleeting, has shaped how we create and share coffee experiences.
Rituals is our tribute to these connections, a virtual journal that captures the ephemeral moments where everything clicks, where a vision is sparked, and the perspective shifts. It’s a memoir in constant motion, where each new notion glints in the glow of all that came before.
With Rituals, we celebrate the people and places that inspire us, set amidst the vibrant cities that breathe life into their work.
Our third instalment of the Rituals series takes us on a journey through Tokyo, with Yoshinobu Kimura.
