The Pour
1
Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos
Wine🇭🇺 Tokaj, Hungary · Furmint and Hárslevelű blend

Golden and layered with complexity born of time and aging, this legendary wine embodies the bittersweet ache of looking backward and the sweetness of memories that linger long after the moment passes.

Tawny Port 20 Year
Fortified red🇵🇹 Douro Valley, Portugal · Port blend

Contemplative and time-worn, this wine's depth reveals itself slowly. Much like Kawaguchi's characters discovering profound truths about love and loss within minutes that feel like lifetimes.

The Mood

In a magical Tokyo café, patrons can travel back in time. But only while their coffee stays warm. Kawaguchi's tender stories explore regret, second chances, and the irreplaceable value of the present moment.
