Mr. Daisuke Tsushima of Galette specialty store "Galetteria Da Sasino". Staff members from each store also participated in the workshop, such as latte art, using the only espresso machine made by Slayer Espresso in the United States in Aomori prefecture.

“I'm happy to be able to practice using this kind of machine. I am grateful for the opportunity to exchange technology,” said Kiyoto, who said that he made time in between his work and rushed from Aomori City. Mr. Tsushima said, "If you usually have a shop, you can not try new things easily. It would be helpful to have a place like this," and he was working on making latte art many times.

Mr. Hirano, who called for participation, said, “In Hirosaki, coffee culture is already rooted, but it is hard to say that espresso culture is rooted in all Aomori prefectures. From a study session like this, I made a new espresso. If more people would like to try it, "he said.

Kazunori Miyagawa, the manager of the “Shirokane Coffee” sponsored the event, said, “Some people called out to us for the first time this time, but unfortunately we couldn't come. I want to make a meeting. "
