There're huge copper roasters roasting beans to be sent to the Reserve stores worldwide. The also show roasting processes using other small roaster and the large display shows the kind of beans being roasted as well as their farms.

Another interesting thing to watch is when the five kinds of roasted beans are sent to the glass cyclones through the tubes. My best pick is the "PANTHON BREND NO.1" because it's so delicious and available only here. You can also choose brewing methods including espresso, drip, coffee press, siphon, etc.

In the huge underground storage warehouse, they have piles of beanbags from the farms from a variety of places. And, we can watch them from the window facing the lavatory at the restroom. Even though they have bar counters and table cafe floor on the 1st and 2nd floors, I still feel like I'm in a big factory. And, because it takes only 20 minutes to walk from the original store, you can compare the tastes of the two stores. In my case, I always try many kinds of beans and become very high by the time I leave.

Let's look outside. The young leaves reflecting the spring sun look like a beautiful prism. And, the yellow green is different from the one in autumn and I feel their vitality to grow more.

This couple from Chicago seemed to enjoy the downtown fresh green and they made me feel happy, too.

How about a French lunch? This is also a renovated restaurant. I love this kind of retro place with a high and wide ceiling.

They also have tables, but I like this counter because it's like an open kitchen connecting the kitchen and the customers and I feel like I'm eating at home. And, as soon as they prepare the meal, they serve it while it's very hot directly to me. I almost said, "Mom, can you get me some tea?"

The baguette (parisien?) was so delicious, too! It reminded me of the thick loaf bread in Japan and now I miss it.

This Thambar is magical. It changes the mood completely and stimulates my imagination.

I'm sorry. I wanted to focus on the pretty tulips, but when I looked into the viewfinder, I found another beautiful flower on the mirror and I had to focus on it. This camera gets attached so easily.

And, I found another beautiful flower emanating gorgeous spring scent throughout the store and her luminance was about 5000W. Me? My eyes have 10,000 volts, but the lenses are broken.

I shot these hanging flowers with the Hektor. I bought it around when I brought the Visoflex because I heard it works wonderfully with the Visoflex. And, I used it with the M8 to get longer focal length. It was so hard to focus, but I love this shot and the bokeh generated by 15 diaphragms is beautiful. This guy is 60 years old. He isn't assertive, but kind and smart. So, I like him very much.
