[KochiKame] Can you do business with domestically produced coffee beans?

Japan Otaku Reviews+


It’s impossible! All beverage manufacturers are producing canned coffee, but they said that canned coffee was impossible! It’s a main product for manufacturers! Is that so? The idea of selling coffee in a can was laughed at at first. When it was actually sold at the Osaka Expo, the world’s first canned coffee with milk sold well. Only in Japan!! There are no vending machines selling both hot and iced canned coffee! That won’t happen worldwide!! What I’m making is impossible! I don’t listen to what others say; I won’t be convinced unless I do it myself!

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx70

It’s rare for you to succeed…

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

The Nakagawa Group tricked us into raising funds and then the tanker sank…

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Ten times caffeine is probably crazy.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>3

In reality, there are drinks with ten times the amount of caffeine compared to coffee, so it might not be such a big deal.

In the case of supplements, there can be times when the amount is small and it contains components that inhibit caffeine, so the concentration can be incredibly high just based on the content alone.

If you served that as regular coffee, there would be frequent incidents.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s questionable whether Okinotorishima can be the basis for a 200 nautical mile zone, but is it okay to develop it?

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>4

The farm was established not on the main body of Okinotorishima, which is out at sea, but on the surrounding coral reefs…

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since becoming a tanker, nothing in Tokyo is the same anymore!

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It ended somewhat lazily, but I wonder if they couldn’t come up with a punchline…

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

I thought it was the usual flow when I got caught in a typhoon with the tanker, but it ended up being successful just like that…

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it strange that there’s no final twist in Ryo’s business?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Nakagawa and Reiko say it’s good and has richness, it seems like the quality itself is pretty high.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>10

It seems that coffee is now treated as a spice and is categorized separately.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

Ryō-san’s business usually goes well, but he gets greedy from that success and ends up failing.

If it goes well but doesn’t go any further, that’s a great success.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to try the 10x caffeine coffee.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Ten times the alkaloid is insane!

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ryotsu, you are knowledgeable in strange places, aren’t you?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Success Pattern

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

The canned coffee that boasted “ten times the caffeine” is an exaggeration, but it does have a lot of caffeine! It was actually released by a major company.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

Considering the recent extreme spicy trend, it doesn’t seem impossible to have an extreme bitter trend as well.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it was the end-stage tanker cultivation, couldn’t we have escaped the typhoon?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

It doesn’t make sense to go beyond the cultivation range to avoid a typhoon when you don’t know when it will next clear up.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

I can’t help but not escape from the equator…

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

What’s the punchline?

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

The caffeine increased, and the taste mysteriously got better.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you have a strong personality, it definitely seems like it could sell well.

I just want to try drinking it normally…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Lobsta is currently completely reassessing everything from cultivation to refinement.

There are farms producing really delicious beans now.

Places that offer 100% premium robusta are gradually increasing.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

Considering the recent unusual weather, it seems that improving the flavor of the resistant lobster species could also help in risk mitigation…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hojo, you get used quite often.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

This time, we didn’t resort to origin fraud or mixing, and sold the lobsters as straight from the sea, so it probably didn’t end up as a case of divine punishment.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

As always, they are a genius at moving people…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nakai, you’re responding like ChatGPT…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it resistant to sea breeze?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was Starbucks already around in 1996…?

I thought you had come to Japan about 10 years ago…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

A man quietly prefers the lobster species!

Is it close to the day when the point of contention won’t be lobsters but rather men?

Due to gender discrimination, etc.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if we can’t cultivate various strains through breeding in Japan.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

Strong against the cold

If we improve it so that it can be done in lowlands…

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I learned a little.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

Such things are.

Later, slowly.

Just think about it.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

>>38

It’s a way of thinking suited for businesspeople and entrepreneurs…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

A man should be silent! Just! Think!

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>38

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like products that strip away trendy elements and focus on solid quality and robustness.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

Aren’t you relying too much on your image…?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Right now, they’re made in Okinawa and Kagoshima, right?

It seems that it can be grown in a greenhouse in Honshu as well.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because it’s Kochikame, there are often endings where greed leads to failure, but with that level of initiative, things often go well up until that point, which in a way feels realistic.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ten times caffeine is crazy!

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The fact that two celebrities are properly rating it means it has good flavor…

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Energy drinks seem good.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

“Are you helping with that electrode something guy?”

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are definitely a certain number of people who resonate with this kind of thing…

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>50

I think it’s smart to target a somewhat older demographic around Ginza.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

It will get ruined by the sea breeze and such…

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s crazy to build a plant on a coral reef!

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Miyazaki, there were cocoa farms.

I wonder if there are coffee farms as well.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

I haven’t done anything illegal except starting without permission.

If there were four more pages, I might have mixed in some other inferior Tokyo beans and made a big profit! But I might have failed at that.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember seeing an article about someone growing coffee in Saitama relatively recently.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, there are stores that source various types and offer single origin options.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Domestic romance ultimately comes down to cost…

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Don’t quietly destroy the coral reef of Okinotorishima.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>60

You can think about that slowly later.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Has it really been 10 years since Blue Bottle?

I only know it through syntax.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it were now, the punchline would be that too much caffeine caused it to get caught by Japanese laws and be regulated, making Tokyo coffee unable to be sold in Japan.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

Isn’t that kind of unfortunate ending from a long time ago?

This is a successful punchline episode from the later period of Kochikame.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

So that’s why they put condensed milk in Vietnamese coffee.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Okinotorishima is probably hot because it is close to the equator.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s about 10 times the amount of caffeine, it should be fine.

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

By the way, coffee is said to be good for health in moderation, but harmful in excessive amounts.

The line between healthy and unhealthy is roughly five to six cups.

Everyone, let’s be careful not to drink too much.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that sometimes there were moments later on when I couldn’t come up with a punchline.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did Japan drink that much coffee?

I thought that the UK only drinks tea, but I wonder if people think that Japan only drinks coffee.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It would have been a failure course if I had mixed the beans.

It’s not bad because I went straight.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>71

There have been times in the past when we went after niche demand and succeeded.

Recently, it’s clear that there is a demand for that.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is generally said to be good for health is mostly about black things, you know.

Let the milk poured in and the sugar dumped in the café au lait be good for my health.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

If you only add milk without sugar, I think it’s probably safe unless it’s something really extreme.

If you put in a lot of sugar, then yeah.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

The electrode’s dad is good at getting along in strange places…

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

The initial setting was playful compared to my son’s.

I think that side is probably still subtly remaining.

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s amazing how well-organized the flow of coffee and beans within the country is.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nakagawa answers Ryotsu’s questions logically, which is helpful, but it also seems like Nakagawa enjoys talking to Ryotsu.

Although unreasonable things are said,

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

They say that adding milk is actually better for the stomach.

Sugar is… sugar is, um.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it feels a bit off to say that Ryo-chan should fail no matter what, doesn’t it? Isn’t it okay?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s a peaceful ending.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, it seems that the robusta variety has more polyphenols, so that can be a selling point to market it for health benefits as well.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you don’t add milk, your urethra will die from stones.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>83

Wasn’t that especially without basis?

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>147

Wasn’t the reasoning that coffee contains oxalic acid that binds with calcium or something like that?

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>151

In the first place, there is no particularly valid basis for saying that black coffee has a high risk of kidney stones.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>151

That’s the theory, but it hasn’t been proven.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing that a gag manga that also teaches about subculture has been published weekly without a break!

I wonder if they could come back with a short-term concentrated series again.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since there was a Max Coffee that fought with a super sweet taste, there’s definitely a chance of winning even with a stronger bitterness…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s rare that it’s not a business failure ending.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

For Japanese people who love unsweetened black coffee, it certainly resonates.

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

When Nakagawa says it’s delicious, it really means something.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not just about making money for the sake of money, so maybe they aimed for a pure success ending.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was interesting, but the developments were rather rough and the ending felt unresolved… Still, it was entertaining, so the momentum is impressive.

91: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I guess this story was created based on the fact that Okino Torishima is almost touching the coffee belt.

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s rare to see someone successful…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Not only investing, but also product development and production, wearing uniforms to do it, electrodes are true businessmen…

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I believe the know-how for successfully growing on a tanker can be sold.

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s fine because it’s a gag manga, but wouldn’t having ten times the caffeine actually cause some people to die?

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>95

Rather, it’s amazing that the approach of promoting high caffeine content is not wrong, considering that the numbers are just ridiculous.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

Then, just like with energy drinks, if you write a warning on the can, it should be fine.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because it’s bitter, I pour in a lot of sugar.

I powered up with caffeine and sugar!

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like moving the helicopter each time will incur quite a cost…

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Vietnamese coffee is delicious even when straight for Japanese people.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if a tanker can return to the mainland in the summer.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

Instead of having a dangerous quality like a drug, it’s something that has absolute demand.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

Stop the large-scale construction around the already sinking, somewhat dangerous area like the one in Masaharu!

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>103

Those things can be thought about slowly later.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>103

The statement “It’s more like a rock than an island” is quite alarming.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

I’m sure there were protests back when it was serialized…

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s the usual pattern where desire leads to failure.

So I guess they decided to skip that part, huh…

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>105

There are quite a few patterns where things end successfully, though.

If the topic changes, it won’t matter that you made a profit, so don’t worry about it.

Sometimes, when I’ve completely forgotten about that story, someone might say, “Senpai, you used to earn money from XX back in the day, right?” and I would answer, “I did indeed do something like that,” using it as an introduction to a different topic.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve heard that Japan’s caffeine regulations are considerably more lenient than those in the West.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

Touching that will probably affect the tea too, right?

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

Due to racial factors, Asians are strong with caffeine and weak with alcohol.

I have heard that the opposite is true in Europe and America.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s too bad about the relationship.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s said that it can’t be made unless you’re near the equator.

I understand that open field cultivation is not possible.

Isn’t it possible to build a factory that reproduces the local climate?

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>111

I think I can do it if that’s the question.

The cost, you know…

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>111

It could be done, but it would be too costly.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>111

I think they were growing coffee trees at the botanical garden in the neighborhood.

The problem is probably related to cost.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, is it good for the body or bad for it?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to a factory that can be stably distributed at scale, it becomes quite large, and the costs for air conditioning and other things for climate replication are…

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

Cultivating fruit trees in factories is almost impossible due to extremely high costs.

Well, there are examples of cultivation under the condition of control using artificial light, but…

Until the reproduction of the tropical climate…

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s recently become possible to make it in Okinawa, and it won’t be long before I can see it in Tokyo.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>119

It’s priced so strangely that it might make Ryo-san feel weird.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even the factory cultivation of vegetables and grains that have higher demand than coffee is not reaching the profit line.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>120

There aren’t many valuable plants that can grow without heating or sunlight.

Let’s eat pothos, pothos!

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>126

It seems to be full of poison!

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a place making coffee on the mainland.

Because the climate is completely unsuitable, they are freezing seeds at minus 100°C and then crossbreeding 2 or 3 parent plants from the 10,000 that survived to increase the stock.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

So they are breeding varieties to match the climate.

That’s some serious determination…

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Growing crops in a greenhouse with air conditioning is possible, but it must be difficult to replicate a tropical climate.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

But now, even black canned coffee that costs over 200 yen can be considered “just regular coffee!” so I feel a sense of progress.

It’s not a lobster.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

Despite being so highly anticipated, modern tuna ultimately failed in commercialization.

It’s tough to cultivate or raise things separated from the natural environment.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t believe you came up with a story like this…

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t this an energy drink?

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

It ended up being just normally good…

131: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I think the expression of the shock from drinking coffee for the first time really hits the mark.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

What do you mean by “disappointing”? Now that I think about it, the name was disappointing…

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the girl on the cover illustration your preference, teacher?

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t there something that can substitute for coffee?

I occasionally hear about dandelions, but…

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>136

Dandelion!?

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>140

Isn’t that something that has existed for a hundred years?

The taste is, well… yeah.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>136

There have been various things since ancient times, but it seems to be the taste and aroma of burnt, so most of the research is focused on the aroma part.

It seems that it can be recognized as coffee even if the taste is strong barley tea.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

When looking at just the quantity, the tea is way too much…

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

Actually, I kind of want to try drinking it.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have always wanted to try eating raw coffee cherries.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can’t we improve the poop coffee even more?

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>143

The famous kopi luwak is made from beans collected from the feces of civets, but…

There are also coffees made by feeding coffee cherries to elephants and collecting the beans from their dung.

So high that your eyes would pop out.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s unusually successful…

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it that poop coffee (civet coffee) is just coffee beans that are digested and then excreted by civet cats?

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>146

It doesn’t get digested, but it ferments in the intestines, which is why it produces a smell.

I mean, if it’s been digested, isn’t it just roasted poop?

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice to have new species, but it would be troublesome without the original species… I thought, but this original species is just a robust one, huh?

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

I had an impression that coffee was sometimes circulating.

There was a time when the prohibition was declared and I tried to put alcohol in coffee, which got me sent off to Brazil or somewhere.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

Japan is one of the leading coffee-consuming countries.

I don’t think it’s small, but compared to the top, I thought it was totally different.

155: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>152

In terms of per person, it’s around 15th place, but for overall consumption, it’s about 4th place or something like that.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>155

Even though the population is decreasing, it’s still quite large for now…

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was an old story, but then convenience store coffee appeared, so I thought it was recent, but wait, it was 10 years ago…!?

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even in the current reality, it seems that Takahara from the soccer world is growing together with Nestlé using a club in Okinawa, and NEXCO Central Japan is conducting test cultivation in various places in Honshu. It also appears that in colder regions, they are applying the freezing and thawing revival method for bananas and cultivating them even in places like in front of Ueda Castle.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

But is it feasible to cultivate on a tanker?

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>157

I still think that indoor cultivation is realistically impossible.

If it’s just on the way of transportation, that’s one thing, but won’t it be stationed near the equator?

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

In this situation, instead of failing due to greed, there’s also the possibility of being copied by other businesses and self-destructing as a result of competition.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think that establishing a record of coffee cultivation on Okinotorishima will be politically welcomed.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it that oxalic acid is the cause of stones, so it’s not just about whether it is high in oxalic acid?

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

The theory that coffee doesn’t hydrate has also been debunked, and common knowledge tends to change over time…

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>165

Shirason…

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

Being bound by the coffee belt has, in a way, suppressed the rampage.

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

As for tankers, they are no longer produced in Tokyo.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

Once it becomes clear that economic activities can be conducted, the government is likely to be pleased.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

They say a tanker was swept away and it’s a big deal.

I thought there would be a twist where they served 10x coffee at the office and it became a big deal.

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

Caffeine addiction is scary, isn’t it?

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>170

The dependency is weak…

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

The right to fill in the garbage of Tokyo Bay.

It seems that there are concepts like fishing rights in the Tohoku region and boundaries between prefectures.

If you think about it that way, Tokyo is also at sea.

I wonder how many kilometers offshore the problem is.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if we could build factories cheaply using waste heat from places like DC or power plants.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like it could be used as a question to raise safety issues by listing the problems that will occur after this.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

After all, it seems that being a police officer was the least suited for me.

175: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like the crazy sponsors that come up casually in places like this.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems there was a time when coffee was made in another episode as well.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it’s a waste to use Okinotorishima only for fishing, isn’t it?

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

You can watch all channels on BS.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing that Nakagawa and Reiko also praise the taste.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

Arabica is more popular among the masses, but it’s difficult to grow; it doesn’t always go as planned.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

Naturally, you aim for a sponsor in one panel and get their approval in the next panel.
