Brand Concept
Sitting in silence listening to the pine wind
As you sit quietly, you can hear the faint sound of the pine trees swaying in the wind. The brand name "quissaco" comes from the Zen phrase "Kissako," which means "Come on, have some tea." In our busy modern lives, brewing coffee with your own hands and taking a breather brings rhythm to life and creates space. We support healthy daily life by creating products that can be loved for a long time.
Vision/Mission
Gankoku ni Matsuoeru (Gankoku pine planting)
The 2050 problem facing the coffee industry and the environment surrounding domestic manufacturing may be a harsh valley. We have decided to plant pine trees there, with an eye to 100 years into the future, as a guidepost for the next generation. Based on Japanese manufacturing technology, we aim to create soil in which diverse seeds can grow by delivering environmentally friendly, high-quality tools to the world.
About SOL'S COFFEE
SOL'S COFFEE is a specialty coffee shop based in Kuramae, Tokyo.
SOL'S COFFEE, which operates quissaco, was founded in 2009 and has been operating a specialty coffee shop based in Kuramae, Tokyo for 15 years.
In 2021, the father of the company's representative, Rieko Arai, suddenly passed away due to COVID-19. This project began when she inherited a metalworking factory that had been in operation for generations in the downtown area of Tokyo.
Since childhood, I have been taught that "Japanese craftsmanship is something we can be proud of on a global scale," and so I decided to create new metal tools for enjoying coffee. I would like to spread Japanese craftsmanship to the world with these Made in Japan coffee tools.
The Japanese tea ceremony phrase "Kissako" means "please have some tea", so how enriching it is to make time to drink tea (coffee). By doing so, you can take a break from your busy daily life, listen to the sounds around you, feel the seasons, and calm your mind.
By making it easy to enjoy delicious coffee drinks, we hope to make coffee more accessible to people and to provide a comprehensive presentation of its greatness and the story of coffee from the producer to the customer's cup.
