Menicon × IMOM COFFEE: Specialty Coffee as a Gateway to Community Connection — Renovated "miru-on cafe" Opens in Menicon Theatre Aoi Building

Menicon Co., Ltd. (Head Office: 3-21-19 Aoi, Naka-ku, Nagoya; Executive Officer, Representative Director and CEO: Yasuyuki Kappu) announces the renovation and reopening of "miru-on cafe," a café located on the first floor of the west building of its headquarters, Menicon Theatre Aoi Building, in June 2026.

Opened in May 2023 with the concept of delivering enjoyment and delight through the five senses, "miru-on cafe" has undergone a renovation to enhance its offerings. This time, Menicon has entrusted store operations to IMOM Co., Ltd.—a company with expertise in operating specialty coffee shops and a strong commitment to quality. Leveraging the knowledge and experience of IMOM COFFEE, the café now offers specialty coffee, light meals, baked goods, and more.

With this renovation, the menu now centers on specialty coffee from IMOM COFFEE, refreshing the café’s offerings to make high-quality coffee accessible and enjoyable in everyday life.

Located on the first floor of the Menicon Theatre Aoi Building, "miru-on cafe" welcomes nearby residents and workers in the surrounding area.

The café aims to become a space where meaningful exchanges begin over a cup of coffee, fostering connections within the local community through the enjoyment of IMOM COFFEE's specialty coffee and light meals.

Menicon, primarily known for its contact lens business, is also dedicated to creating diverse values related to "seeing." Through this café renovation, Menicon strives to offer visitors a richer and more fulfilling experience.

Comment from IMOM Co., Ltd.

"Behind every cup of coffee are the people who grow the beans, select them, and brew them—each with their own unique backgrounds. At miru-on cafe, we value not only the consistent quality of our in-house roasted specialty coffee but also the diverse network of people involved in creating each product. We hope this space, at Menicon’s gateway, becomes a natural meeting point where delicious coffee brings people together."
