The owner is Shun Kurosawa, who won the Japan Hand Drip Championship (JHDC) in 2020. It will be renovated in 2023 and moved to a 5-minute walk from Tachikawa Station. The store, which had been in use since opening in 2016, has been converted into a roastery. “For a while after we opened, we used roasted beans that we purchased.Since then, we have been honing our roasting techniques with the aim of becoming an in-house roaster, and we have finally been able to reliably reproduce the flavor that we envisioned. At Sen, we are located outside of the city center, so we are conscious of creating a clear flavor that is easy for anyone to drink, with a theme of being closely connected to the local area.” Taking advantage of the store’s renovation, they introduced Brewvie, an up-and-coming fully automatic drip machine that catches the eye of the store. “You can set a detailed extraction recipe just like when brewing by hand, and the taste is extremely reproducible.In addition, while the machine is pouring hot water, It’s very efficient because we can communicate face-to-face.”
