Garden cafe opened by students Faculty of Service Innovation (July 5-7)

The Community Café Project, for second to fourth year students taking Faculty of Service Innovation regular course "Project Practice 3B" (instructor: Associate Professor), will be opening a garden café with a "green" theme, "Café Green Garden," on campus for three days only.

We aim to create a space that will become a new place of relaxation for the campus and local community, and to operate a café that will build a lasting community with the local people while being conscious of providing high-quality service that goes beyond just providing drinks and food. Anyone can use it, so please come and visit us.

Key Points

• Students will gain experience in planning, scheduling, product development, purchasing, distribution and sales, laws and regulations, public relations, operations and sales management, etc., and will learn the process of creating new services by identifying and examining the problems that arise at each stage.
• With advice from the Agriculture Policy Division of the Ichikawa City Economic Department, the Agriculture and Economic Management Division of the JA Ichikawa Economic Department, and the Ichikawa Economic Center, the project promoted Ichikawa's specialty, "Ichikawa Tomatoes."
• Drinks and food were provided with the cooperation of local businesses, contributing to revitalizing the local area.

Recommended points of "Café Green Garden"

• This is the university's first garden cafe, with an open and welcoming atmosphere that is welcoming to local residents.
• In collaboration with a farm close to the university, they will be selling original pizza toast made with plenty of Ichikawa tomatoes. A limited number of tomato-based alcoholic drinks will also be available at the bar on the final day.
• In addition to the ever-popular coffee from a local coffee shop, they also offer refreshing drinks and cold desserts made with mint, pineapple, and lemon to beat the summer heat. They also have a menu of gorgeous-looking items that even children can enjoy.
• Customers will be able to take commemorative photos on the spot, which will then be gifted in an original frame.

Café Green Garden *Open to everyone.
