COFFEE HOLIC #6 is an event involving various unique cafes from around Kyoto, all of whom will serve coffee made with beans from Guatemala—but roasted and brewed in their own ways.
The event will be sponsored by the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Guatemala in Kyoto and Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS). KUFS celebrates the 80th anniversary of our founding in 2027, and COFFEE HOLIC #6 is as a special pre-event to mark that milestone.

In 2015, the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Guatemala in Kyoto was established on the KUFS campus. The University and Guatemala have strong bonds of friendship, and the minister-counselor from the republic's embassy even pays visits to the campus.

COFFEE HOLIC #6 will take place in various cafes throughout Kyoto City from Sunday, February 1 to Sunday, March 15. Additionally, a special one-day event session will be held on Sunday, March 8 at the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art (Main Building Atrium), during which participants can drink and compare different coffee.
During the event, KUFS Professor Hiroshi Minami will hold an open citizens' seminar titled "Drinking Coffee Based on Ancient Mayan Culture" in the Multipurpose Room, and Takuya Morita, a KUFS lecturer and honorary consul for the on-campus Guatemalan consulate, will deliver a speech. It will be a unique KUFS event that brings together academia and international understanding through the vehicle of coffee culture.
