We check out third wave coffee shop Bear Pond Esperesso in Tokyo's Shimokitazawa neighborhood. Bear Pond Espresso is the brainchild of Katsuyuki Tanaka, a barista-extraordinaire and Tokyo local. Tanaka spent the majority of his adult life in New York, where he witnessed the rise of the city’s coffee culture in the East and West Village neighborhoods firsthand. After working his way up the ladder and conquering the city’s coffee scene, Tanaka was struck with the inspiration to take all he’d learned back to Japan. It was there that he opened his store, located in Tokyo’s Shimokitazawa neighborhood.
