Coffee After All

Cohaze Coffee has been a popular fixture of Tokyo’s trendy Shimokitazawa neighbourhood for 18 years but it will move to a new location in a month’s time. This has set the tongues wagging of the regular customers who sit and debate the situation while the madcap staff and lackadaisical manager go about their daily business as they count down the days. Watching all of this is Aoki, a young woman who spends her breaks sipping coffee solo, sometimes reading, sometimes watching the world go by through the window, and always observing how people from all walks of life end up in or around Kohaze coffee.
