On March 1, 2025, a facility combining a café, select shop, and rental apartments opened in Kanamachi, Katsushika City, at the border of Tokyo, Chiba, and Saitama.
On the 1st and 2nd floors, there is a roasting house and café space for "
Bicycle Coffee Tokyo" from Oakland, California, and a directly managed store by Sunwest called "
SUNWEST STORE." From the 3rd floor up, the space is occupied by the rental housing called "Layover Kanamachi."
We spoke in detail about this new community space with Daisuke Shimizu from
SUNWEST PR and store manager Tasuku Sato.
Coffee Brewed with the Same Atmosphere as Oakland
First, let's introduce the café, which has a large space on the 1st floor. What kind of shop is Bicycle Coffee Tokyo? We asked PR representative Shimizu."Bicycle Coffee was born in 2009 in Oakland, California. The concept came from sourcing organic coffee beans through fair trade, roasting them ourselves, and delivering to partners using bicycles to minimize environmental impact, which led to the name Bicycle Coffee.
