Creating a new standard for coffee shops
At ignis , we always carry dozens of nanolot brands, including auction lots that Mr. Dobashi ordered based on his curiosity.
"I don't think about whether it will sell or not. It's an industry where new things are created every year, so I just want to try something new. I'm curious, right? If there's a great bean, I'll definitely buy it no matter how much it costs. I want to try it. Isn’t everyone like that?”
On full moon nights when ignis is open late at night, Dobashi 's fans flock to the store in hopes of encountering rare lots that can only be found here.
Other than black coffee, Dobashi only offers original menu items created from scratch. Noir, a fake cafe mocha that does not use chocolate, and spherical coffee jelly served in cocktail glasses have received attention from the media.

Dobashi 's goal is to create a new standard for coffee shops.
“Everyone says that you can't sell coffee for less than 500 yen, but I believe that if it's good, you can sell it for 10,000 yen.In fact, within a few months of starting roasting, I was able to sell coffee for less than 500 yen. I sold it at an auction and sold it for 10,000 yen.I thought that if it didn't sell, there would be no future in the coffee industry, and I wanted to take it upon myself to disrupt the business model of selling cheap coffee.''
Dobashi is constantly pursuing new forms of coffee without being bound by conventional wisdom.

CROWD ROASTER × Dobashi special BOX too
Mr. Dobashi studied at world barista champion Paul Bassett's shop and joined the famous restaurant GLITCH COFFEE & ROASTERS in Jimbocho, Tokyo from its inception.
Mr. Dobashi taught himself how to roast, and now he roasts all the Top Lot brands sold at ignis himself.
Mr. Dobashi , who roasts small batches, uses a small roasting machine called ``aillio.'' We roast with an eye toward total balance, including texture and length of aftertaste.
