Discourse of the Coffee Shop Seikosha Ooya Minoru

About the productJapanese

Who are we contracting with?
In this dark age of consumerism, weakened by social media, gourmet sites, crowdfunding and point cards, he explores the conditions for a "good restaurant." While reflecting on his own errands, he talks from a dog's perspective about the economy, work, media and community. Another round of wise words.

The author, a coffee roaster from Kyoto who runs cafes such as KAFE Kosen in Kyoto and Cafe Geba in Kurashiki, speaks from the perspective of the town and considers how to create a "good cafe" in this day and age.

This is an exciting and profound discussion of coffee shops and small businesses that examines the mysterious phenomena that are encroaching on small businesses today, such as information consumption, authoritarianism, the objectification and alienation of workers and consumers, and even labor exploitation in the name of sharing, going all the way back to social contract theory and using a wide range of keywords such as commons, gift-giving, and local.
