Every Friday, we feature a one-on-one Q&A with Japas, our resident curators: Maíra Kimura, Yumi Shimada, and Fernanda Ueno—founders of Japas Cervejaria. They will share their personal reflections on culture, travel, and the everyday moments including their connection to Japan.
Q: A touch of Brazil in Japan?
Yumi: Francoile had Brazilian coffee when I visited, and Café Paulista has ties to Japan-Brazil immigration history.
Fernanda: There’s also Natural Cafeína in Karuizawa—worth a detour if you're traveling via Shinkansen.
Maíra: For a laid-back vibe, I recommend Bar Blen blen blen—a little slice of Brazil in Japan.
