The blended coffee "Drinkable Bunko" that reproduces the "feeling after reading masterpiece literature" is born. It will be sold at the coffee bean specialty store "Yanaka Coffee Store" from October 27th to November 30th on "Reading Day".

The drinkable paperback is an original coffee jointly developed by Yanaka Coffee Shop and NEC's AI (artificial intelligence). Based on the data obtained by converting more than 10,000 reviews (after-reading) of literary works into coffee taste indexes (bitterness / sweetness / afterglow / clearness / mouthfeel), the experts at the store blended them.



There are six types of lineup: "Wakanashu" (Toson Shimazaki), "No Longer Human" (Osamu Dazai), "Dancing Girl" (Ogai Mori), "I Am a Cat", "Kokoro", and "Sanshiro" (Soseki Natsume). There are some works that have a painful ending, but what kind of taste is it?


The bean package is 100g (3.53oz) each and costs 950 yen (tax included, same below), and from November 8th, the "6 works drinking comparison drip bag set" (2,340 yen) will also be on sale.
