A portrait of the artist as barista. Kiyoshi Kawasaki, spreading happiness and joy through coffee.
Turret Coffee, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
Slideshow of these photographs I enjoyed the best (double) espresso of my life sitting at the inside counter, a couple of steps away from where Master Kawasaki had just created it for me.
The flavour was bold, robust, thick, slightly bitter, almost sweet, essentially otherworldly, altogether quite amazing.
