Himawari means “sunflower” in Japanese. It’s a flower symbolizing adoration, loyalty, and longevity. Sunflowers are also known for being “happy” flowers, making them the perfect gift for bringing joy to anyone’s day. This sums up their mission: bring happiness and contentment to everyone, one cup of coffee at a time.

Since they’re using high-quality beans, Shinozaki recommends their signature black coffee (which comes at a reasonable price) to enjoy its bold flavor. As a bonus, you’ll get a discount if you buy pastries alongside their drinks.
For those who want to brew and enjoy their own concoctions at home, they sell a wide range of coffee bean varieties as well as coffee-making equipment such as drippers and French presses.
