DIY - GACHAGACHA COFFEE
GACHAGACHA COFFEE gives you a choice to choose from six different types of coffee beans — the word "Gacha" comes from Gachapon where capsule toys are sold from vending machines. After obtaining your preferred bean capsule from the machine, you will be the one who makes it from here on out. Think IKEA for coffee making.

The overall visual design was created by the award-winning Japanese design firm "nedo". The interior design creates a sense of calm while also giving off a modern yet futuristic schick look that we have all come to expect when visiting Roppongi Hills.
