The roastery of "Allpress Espresso" will relocate to MMoP.
"Allpress Espresso," founded in New Zealand, began roasting in Japan in 2014. Since then, based in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, Tokyo, it has led Japan's specialty coffee culture. After about 12 years of activity at its Tokyo roastery, its operations will move to the complex facility MMoP in Miyota Town, Nagano Prefecture.

As MMoP's long-held concept as a "cultural hub open to the community and daily life" aligns with Allpress Espresso's values of fostering community around coffee, world-class coffee culture will be disseminated from Miyota.
Please look forward to MMoP's new landscape, where diverse perspectives and dialogues will be born alongside the aroma of roasting, in anticipation of the autumn opening.
