Baristas Take Center Stage at "Sensing Marche" During the Kappabashi Dougugai Festival

At the cafe Sensing Touch of Earth, located along Kappabashi Kitchen Town, the first-ever "Sensing Marche" will be held for three days from Saturday, October 10 to Monday, October 12 (national holiday), 2026, to coincide with the 41st Kappabashi Dougugai Festival.

The baristas who usually serve espresso at the counter will host the marche together with the cafe's management for these three days. Participants include staff members with diverse working styles and personalities: those who work a second job mainly on weekends, those who run a shared-space cafe alongside their work, and those who create art in their daily lives.
