The Ogawa coffee company of Japan plans to create franchises, starting in Boston. The company spreading across the world is an example of globalization [AP Human Geography reference]. The company's chain has experienced geometric growth [math reference] recently, and thinks that spreading the chain internationally will help the business. The owners plan to keep the same menus they're using in Japan and bring over part of their culture [also AP HG]. If the plan is successful, the franchise will be the first of its kind to hit the United States.
What makes this company so special, is that they represent Japanese culture in their coffee. They serve out of beautiful cups with intricate designs that represent things like the changing of the seasons, and create designs in their lattes that are more detailed than the average latte at Starbucks. I feel that bringing this company over will allow diversity, and give people the chance to experience the unique culture, without traveling thousands of miles to get to it.

I LOVE coffee. My family are always searching for the best coffee shops where ever we go. This place seems very interesting and unique. The fact that they keep their Japanese culture makes them truly special. I'd love to visit their shop. Another one of my obsessions is tea cups, and the one in the picture is so pretty. This coffee shop just seems like it was made for me.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting. I've never tried Japanese coffee, so this will definitely be something new! The design in the latte makes me more intrigued to try it. The little designs on the tea cup and plate are absolutely gorgeous. I am very excited to know when the Ogawa company is coming to America.
