*Happy Valentine’s Day everybody*
I always wished to make people happy with my hand brewed coffee on bike. My dream has come true on Valentine’s Day!
Charinco (Bicycle) + Rie = CharRie’s
HAHA… I’ve been studying hand brewed coffee techniques at a local café and tought it would be cool to serve to my friends and customers at Circles which is my favorite bike shop in Nagoya and has a big influence on my life. The owner of Circles let me use a little space for setting up my bike café as a Valentine’s special event. I always make miracles at Circles so I did it! I sold out 100 cups of coffee at the 1st day, yaaaaay! 
Rum Ball & Gateau Chocolat made by Izumi & Rie
*Thank you for coming*
￥300 with chocolate treats (￥200 for a Refill)
Hand made milk caps.
Wrapping cube sugar.
CharRie's bike café totally matching the colors with Circles.
Circles offered me to do this every Sunday starting on March 7th *Thank You*. I have a crazy friend “Crankee“, he invented his BBQ SURLY, we will put our bike kitchen toghether next time!
I have a confidence with my coffee, it is actually soo GOOD!! Please stop by Circles in Nagoya and say hello to my coffee bike when you ever get a chance to visit Japan.
Thanks a lot to Circles and everyone who stopped by and had my coffee, to all my great friends who supported to put me up and had awesome happy time together.
*Have a happy coffee*
