I wrote about my housemate Joon who started a company while living in Oakhouse Kichijoji 2. (He still lives in our house too!)
His business is called “Cottea” and I wrote more about his business here.
Some of us who live in the house were actually involved in early stages. Maud as a UI/UX designer designed the logo and helped him build the website, and also did the art direction. Shohei, a professional event organizer, help Joon in his store once in a while. I’m mainly working on the online marketing, writing and editing their online contents.
Joon and his business partner Seongwon invited me to their party last week celebrate their success and Christmas.
I realized that there are many people involved to launch Cottea. It was great getting to know their web developer and interior designer who did a great job on their website and the store in Aoyama.

The party was held in Seongwon’s tower mansion in Kachidoki. There was a party room where they booked in advance for us.

The two guys in the white shirt are Joon(left) and Seongwon(right). They were in the same unit when they were in the army in Korea.
Joon and Seongwon brought a cake for me and Momo (my wife) because we recently got married. It was very nice of them!
I’m so glad that I met Joon in Oakhouse. When we met, we had no clue that we will be working together like this. Living in Oakhouse gave me opportunities to meet all these cool people. I really appreciate this.


The cake we shared after the meal. It was delicious!

At the end of the party, we did some game and received their gift. It was Cottea’s coffee!
Visit their coffee shop in Shibuya if you’re around Shibuya, or simply come to our house Kichijoji 2 for a cup of coffee.
