Masae Nagata – Barista at Coffee Reino
Thirty-nine years ago she began making coffee in this space, the Coffee Reino – Reino meaning “sample” in Japanese. Four decades she has been welcoming Japanese and tourists from different parts of the world into her living room in such a way that many call this their living room as well. Since her husband retired two years ago, they stand and sit and converse the whole day long, listen to music, prepare coffee and share quiet and busy moments – all around coffee.
