Book-Style Lafcadio Coffee "Writing with My Ears"

This original blend coffee is themed "Coffee that makes Yakumo feel close." The "Kakitsubata Blend" is a well-balanced blend of mocha with a fruity acidity and beans with a bitter taste and richness. When you open the box, you'll find an episode of Yakumo's story titled "Writing with Ears." You can also enjoy "Azukitogi Bridge," a one-page ghost story set in Matsue.

＜About the Lafcadio Coffee (Booklet Type)＞

While Yakumo is famous for his ghost stories, his personality, life, and philosophies are still not widely known. In 2009 and 2014, Nakamura Chaho was invited by Mr. Koizumi Bon, Lafcadio Hearn's great-grandson, to attend an international symposium on Koizumi Yakumo in Greece. In 2015, we connected with local people through a matcha experience as part of the "Open Minds of Lafcadio Hearn" project, which was finally held in his home country of Ireland. Born in Greece, raised in Ireland, and eventually naturalized in Japan to change his name to "Koizumi Yakumo," Lafcadio Hearn was a literary giant. He traveled through foreign lands and finally found peace for his soul in Japan. A fragrance and taste that connects people across borders and time. We hope that you can feel Yakumo's gaze in every drop. Through Yakumo's stories × ghost stories × coffee, we hope to provide a time for you to reflect on the individual, the literary giant Koizumi Yakumo.
