Chapter 12 Planning of the Tourism Agency

"Excuse me, are you busy?"

"Eh, Kitamura-senpai, may I ask...... What's the matter?

……

At the Tourism Agency of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, while Novice Kawada of the Tourism Regional Promotion Department was working, Kitamura walked into the office of the Policy Planning Office of the Tourism Regional Promotion Department with some embarrassment, and then found the same bureaucrat he met when he first joined the Tourism Division, and greeted him.

"No! no! No, no, seniors really don't dare to be, that ...... If it's convenient, I can't delay you a little bit!"

"Eh, excuse me...... Is there anything you can do?"

"Hey, actually...... It's a friend of mine who runs a coffee shop near Yoyogi Park, so if I could, I would like to ask if I can add her shop to this overseas promotion project."

"Huh...... I'm sorry, but can you ask first, but the name of this coffee shop is ......?"

"It's called Sakura-no-Sato Coffee, and their main coffee is mainly made from the sun-dried Geisha from the Emerald Estate in Panama, and their specialty drink is a coffee beer with a silky beer-like taste......

"Coffee beer, wait a minute, could it be that you just said that the coffee shop run by Sakurako Takudai, the winner of the last All Japan Coffee Contest?"

"Well, you know her, yes, it's his coffee shop, excuse me...... Can you put it in this issue of overseas promotion? Please!"

"Actually, I'm a coffee lover too, so I've heard a little bit about Ms. Takuju. This thing you are talking about...... I think it's fine, but I'll find a chance to ask the head of the room for advice. Wait a minute, I'll report to the head of the room about the Sakuranosato coffee shop, and if there's any news, I'll contact you again, what do you say?"

While Sami Kawada and Noao Kitamura were discussing how to get Sakurano Sakurato to be promoted overseas by the Tourism Agency, Shota Furuta, the head of the Policy Planning Office, suddenly rushed back from outside. As soon as Furuta Shota entered the door, he saw Kitamura Mingfu who was discussing things with Kawada Shami here. For this guy who was admitted to the elite bureaucracy of the Tourism Agency at the age of 39, Furuta Shota naturally heard of it. It's just that he's never spoken to the legend of this tourist hall before!

"Novice, there's a guest!"

"Hey, section chief, this is Mr. Kitamura from the Tourism Resources Division, and Mr. Kitamura is the senior who was admitted to the Tourism Agency with me!"

"Oh...... I'm sorry, I've met you a few times before, but ...... I still haven't said hello!By the way, Kitamura-san, may I ask...... Is there something going on?"

Hearing that the section leader took the initiative to ask Mr. Kitamura about his intentions, Kawada Shami immediately took over the topic and replied:

"Ah...... Actually, Mr. Chief, I was going to use coffee as the theme of this issue for the overseas promotion, so I asked Mr. Kitamura to come and discuss and see what specialty coffee shops in Japan are worth recommending to overseas tourists. ”

"Coffee? I haven't done this before...... But it sounds quite new, how did you suddenly think of this topic?"

"This ...... Actually, I also take into account some of the dietary habits of overseas tourists, for those tourists from Europe and the United States, coffee is basically a daily necessity, and although Japan is not a coffee producing country, our coffee culture has its own unique place, I think...... In addition to this, coffee is also a very popular drink in some of the countries in Southeast Asia that are heavily influenced by Western countries, and our neighboring countries, where the consumption of coffee has increased year by year over the years, I think...... It's a good time to spread the word about our Japanese specialty coffee culture to these countries!"

"Interesting...... Really interesting, then...... Our overseas promotion in this issue is mainly based on Maruyama coffee, right?"

Maruyama Coffee is no longer an ordinary coffee shop, although they have enough reputation overseas and are also a representative of Japanese specialty coffee, but ...... Instead, I think we might as well focus on some specialty coffee shops with characteristics, so that maybe more ordinary Japanese coffee shops can bring better overseas publicity and demonstration effects......"

"Then what do you mean ......"

When Section Chief Furuta heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious about the project object of his subordinate Kawada Shami, so when she seriously asked the other party about the specific object, Kawada Shami suddenly smiled and glanced at Kitamura Mingfu, and then said confidently:

"What do you think...... Why don't we consider the winner of the last Japan Barista Contest, Ms. Sakurako's Cafe Sakurai, which was the first coffee shop to offer coffee beer, and there was a craze for coffee beer in Japan at the time, and even now, there are many coffee shops that imitate their previous coffee beers to serve them to customers!"

"Coffee beer...... Did she invent it? I can't imagine it, this thing is amazing!"

"Huh...... Chief, do you like coffee and beer too?"

Hearing that Mr. Furuta actually knew about coffee and beer, Kitamura couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked:

"Hmm...... Of course, that kind of thing is perfect for drinking in the summer, especially for those of us who are office workers, and there are occasional times when we want to have a drink at noon, but at noon, if you drink beer in an izakaya, you may be regarded as a guy who has nothing to do, but in a coffee shop, you can go to a coffee shop after lunch and drink a refreshing coffee beer, which can reduce the fatigue and lethargy after lunch, and ...... It can also satisfy the hobby of a guy like me who wants to have a drink at noon, coffee and beer...... It's so considerate to office workers!"

"So...... Supervisor, what do you ......think of my project?"

"That's it, novice, if you have time, you'd better go to her shop and check it out for yourself, focusing on the last barista contest and the coffee beer!"

"Chief, there's one more thing I need to tell you, that ...... Because Sakurako Takuei was the champion of the last Japanese Barista Contest, she ...... She will have the opportunity to represent Japan at this year's World Barista Championship in Seoul, what do you think...... Do we need to put this part of the content into the promotion of overseas promotion?"

"That's the kind of thing, yes, novice, I'm thinking about the problem more and more! Just do as you say, and when the first draft comes out, let me take a look!"

"Hey, thank you for your support!"

After hearing that Section Chief Furuta had decided to let Sakurano Sakurato of Sakurai be the target of this promotion, Kitamura Namio and Kawada Shami hurriedly thanked Section Manager Furuta!
