Any resident of Tokyo who is even a bit of a coffee connoisseur will be able to tell you that much to our delight, over the last 2 or 3 years there has been massive surge in the number of quality coffee shops selling not only cups of Joe but also gourmet beans which have been carefully selected and roasted on the premises. The people from Lotus cafe were way ahead of their time and have been serving hand roasted coffee since the very first Fuji Rock festival. The owner of the shop is Maki from Aichi prefecture, and he could well be the happiest and most energetic person at the whole festival, especially when you realize he is no spring chicken. A lot of the time (as in this photo) he is dancing around and having fun, but when he is sitting down and roasting his coffee in very traditional looking hand cranked contraption, he is all business.
