To commemorate the 20th anniversary of its founding, the local free paper "Osanpo Jimbocho," which has been covering the book town of Jimbocho for 20 years, is currently attempting to raise funds through crowdfunding to produce a "complete omnibus edition" of all past issues.
To support this initiative, a one-night-only standing bar event called "Snack Osanpo Jimbocho" will be held on the evening of Friday, June 20th at PASSAGE by ALL REVIEWS, a bookstore located on Suzuran Street in Jimbocho.
The event will be hosted by PASSAGE by ALL REVIEWS after closing time, with Ishikawa Keiko, editor-in-chief of "Osanpo Jimbocho", inviting the specialty coffee platform " CROWD ROASTER ", which was born in Jimbocho, to help liven things up by providing coffee drinks!
At this event, we will be serving a special coffee cocktail called "Black JIMBO Lucien" inspired by "PASSAGE"!
Using recipes that are popular at famous bars in Ginza, you can enjoy a new coffee experience that is unique to Jimbocho.
Of course, we also offer CROWD ROASTER 's carefully selected hot and iced specialty coffees.
