Comment from Shinsaku Miyama
"The reason I, with no prior experience, was able to challenge myself and become a world champion is because I was blessed with great instructors and colleagues. Through this school, I want to convey that anyone who seriously faces coffee can become a top-notch barista. And I hope to increase the number of people active both domestically and internationally, further enhancing the social value of the barista profession and culture. I also want to broaden the entry point for beginners and those who want to enjoy it as a hobby, thereby invigorating the entire coffee industry."
