We have a live broadcast on ThinkTechHawaii in Japanese. Today's guest is Ejiri Mika from Hawaiian Coffee Company. This is the continuation of the previous talk, but we have Samuel from Konan. Samuel Bokushi. Yes, Bokushi. How did you start with that? Well, I got a lot of coffee. And actually, I arrived in Gannemono, in 1867. I think you know the people in Hawaii. The first Japanese people in Hawaii, in the Edo period, in 1867, there were 153 Japanese people in Yokohama, and when they arrived, they became Gannemono, so it was called Gannemono. Yes. I arrived in Gannemono in 1868, but two years ago, in 1866, there was a Mark Twain, who was a journalist of the California Sacrament. He said he had a lot of coffee. I see. That's why people in Nishikawa named him. I see. Mark Twain, who was a journalist, said he had a lot of coffee. Yes, he had a lot of coffee. Why was he like this? Why didn't he do it in Manoa? Yes, but as you all know, for the sake of coffee, it is said that the ideal natural environment is everything. For example, what is the natural environment? For example, the soil. Yes, there are two kinds of soil. There is Mauna Kea, Mauna Luau. Yes, there is a lot of organic matter and there is everything necessary for coffee. I see. Of course, Hawaii is the strongest in the morning. Yes. In the afternoon, there is a little rain. Yes. In the evening, there is a shadow. Yes. For example, even in the afternoon, coffee is sold. Is that so? When you go to North Shore, there is a pineapple field. Yes. At the end, there is a coffee field. Oh, is that so? Yes. If you don't have a chance to go to Kona, when you go to North Shore, there is a coffee field on the edge of the pineapple field. Yes. There is a shadow tree that makes a shadow. Shadow tree. Yes. In the evening, the shadow tree is sold for coffee. Oh, it's a technique. Yes, there is a tree that makes a shadow. However, Kona is already a police car, so you can make a shadow as it is. I see. There is no need for shadow trees. So, Kona is a ideal historical condition. Yes. In the evening, it becomes quite difficult, so the difference in temperature is intense and there is a sweet taste. Yes. Yes. I see. Kona coffee is famous. Yes. That is, as I mentioned earlier, white house. Yes, there are other, for example, coffee fields. Of course. As I mentioned earlier, there are also oafs. Yes. Recently, for example, there are mawis, kawaito, and over there, coffee farmers also make their own coffee. I see. Yes. However, there is no such thing as coffee. Yes. As I mentioned earlier, Kona coffee is the world's third largest coffee. The world's third largest coffee. Yes. This is the Jamaican Blue Mountain. The Jamaican is the Caribbean. The Caribbean. Yes. Then, there is the Tanzania Kirimanjaro. Kirimanjaro. Yes. I think many of you have heard of it. And then, there is the Kona in Hawaii. Yes. This is the world's third largest coffee. I see. Yes. The Kona coffee in Hawaii is one of the three largest coffee in the world. Yes. However, Kona coffee is the third largest coffee. Yes. The Kona coffee in Hawaii has been talked about by many Japanese people. Did you know about it? No, I don't know. I just want to make it clear. Yes. I want to tell Japanese people what I heard. Yes. The Kona coffee in Hawaii is the Kona coffee in Hawaii. Yes. Yes, it is. Yes. The Kona coffee in Hawaii has been left by about 30 to 40 people. I see. Most of the people left it. 150 people. 150 people, 30 people left it. The 30 people went to California. Yes. The rest of the people left it. I see. And the people left it. And the people left it. The people who came later. At that time, the Tokyo B3 industry was gradually falling. I see. Yes. The Kona coffee in Hawaii was originally made by the Tokyo B3 industry, but it was changed to the Tokyo B3 industry. I see. Yes. And when it comes to returning to the original, the people left it. Yes. So, it was a big risk for the Kona coffee in Hawaii. Yes. So, it was a risk for the Kona coffee in Hawaii. Yes. So, it was a risk for the Kona coffee in Hawaii. Yes. So, it was a risk for the Kona coffee in Hawaii. Yes. So, the Japanese were claims that they wanted to return it. So, when we first started the Kona coffee in Hawaii, it was committed to taking more interest than they did on their own. Okay. The Japanese gave money depending on their freedom and independence to quickly make such costs. The Kona coffee was involved by the Japanese We are taking good care of it, so we will be able to drink a lot of this coffee from now on. I would like you to drink it slowly. Before you taste it, you can buy coffee, for example, you can bring it back to Japan, or you can buy it in the supermarket. I think the way to preserve it is a little important. What is the way to preserve it from the experts? Coffee is a very long-lasting thing. But if you wait for a while, the scent will fly away. If it is a bag that does not cut the wind, the temperature will go up, but there is no change. In Japan, it gets hot all of a sudden in the summer. It's good when it's in the cooler, but if you cut the cooler, it will get hot inside the house. So it's a refrigerator or freezer. There are people who put it in the freezer, but do you want to put it in the freezer? Yes, in the end, the temperature is the same. So the bag that cut the wind is the same? Yes, it's hard to put it in the freezer. The main purpose of coffee is to avoid the moisture, the humidity, and the參加. And then two. So in order to avoid these three, It means that the moisture, humidity, and the humidity will be avoided. So once you cut it and make coffee, you immediately take out the air from the bag. Yes, this kind of bag. You do this like this. Yes, yes, yes. And then there is a bag with a zip lock. Yes, plastic bags and such. You put it in there again and take out the air. Take out the air. Yes. And then the refrigerator. It's not a freezer. It's a refrigerator. If you put it in the freezer, the temperature of the bag will be different. It will be different. There are times when the humidity will be different. That's right. Yes. So the coffee that you opened is anyway milk and air. You put it in the zip lock again and put it in the refrigerator. It's not a freezer. I want you to put it in the refrigerator. Yes, that's right. So if you cut it, it will be better to drink it in about two weeks. And then the Hawaiian coffee company is talking about it. Yes. And then you taught us how to store it. There are people who can bring it back to Japan. For example, do you have any hints that you would like to pay attention to? After that, I want you to drink it as soon as possible. If you keep it as it is, especially lion coffee, it's famous for coffee. It has various flavors. It has a scent. It's a delicious coffee that you can drink without sugar, but the scent is more and more. So if you open it once, you can drink it as soon as possible. Well, it would be nice if you could call your friends a lot. It would be nice if you could call your friends a lot. It would be nice if you could call a lot and drink it. Let me show you the picture here. As I mentioned earlier, there are several things. Could you explain this to us? This is what we dry the seeds. We remove the seeds. We dry the seeds. We dry the seeds. This one has a thin skin. A thin skin? Yes. When you remove the thin skin, you can see the green color of the seeds. This is the one with the thin skin. This is what we dry the seeds. This one has 10,000 yen. This one has 10,000 yen. When we dry this one, the color changes. It's a single seed. Yes, it's a single seed. It turns black. This one has a deep color. It lasts for 14 to 15 minutes. This one has a thin skin. This one lasts for 10 to 11 minutes. This one has a short skin. What happened when you didn't have any money? In the past, when I was born with lion coffee, Americans bought me green beans at a food store. I went to the kitchen at home with a frying pan. You went to the kitchen? Yes. That's how it turned out? I think there are people who burned it. I think there are people who didn't put it in well. I see. It's a lion coffee. It's been used for a long time. I was born in 1864. I see. I think lion coffee is 155 years old. 155 years old? Yes. It's one of the best coffee brands in the US. I see. Can you show the last two photos here? What is this? This is a coffee from Japan. When I put it in a paper bag and sold it, I put a postcard like this. It's like Alice in Wonderland. It's a new design. I see. It's a collection. It's cute. This is not from Hawaii. This is from Ohio. It's a lion coffee from Ohio. I was born in Ohio. It's been used for a long time. It's been used for a long time. It's been used for a long time. It's been used for a long time.
