The fine art of a perfect cup of coffee

The Irukaya coffee shop has a rigid code of conduct and you only get one shot.

I blew mine just by dialing the number.

Owner Hiroshi Kiyota keeps a blog on which he describes the kinds of people that will never set foot inside his reservation-only shop.

I could go on. The website does.
