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!
It’s rare for you to succeed…
The Nakagawa Group tricked us into raising funds and then the tanker sank…
Ten times caffeine is probably crazy.
>>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.
It’s questionable whether Okinotorishima can be the basis for a 200 nautical mile zone, but is it okay to develop it?
>>4
The farm was established not on the main body of Okinotorishima, which is out at sea, but on the surrounding coral reefs…
Since becoming a tanker, nothing in Tokyo is the same anymore!
It ended somewhat lazily, but I wonder if they couldn’t come up with a punchline…
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…
Isn’t it strange that there’s no final twist in Ryo’s business?
Since Nakagawa and Reiko say it’s good and has richness, it seems like the quality itself is pretty high.
>>10
It seems that coffee is now treated as a spice and is categorized separately.
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.
I want to try the 10x caffeine coffee.
Ten times the alkaloid is insane!
Ryotsu, you are knowledgeable in strange places, aren’t you?
Success Pattern
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.
Considering the recent extreme spicy trend, it doesn’t seem impossible to have an extreme bitter trend as well.
If it was the end-stage tanker cultivation, couldn’t we have escaped the typhoon?
>>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.
>>20
I can’t help but not escape from the equator…
What’s the punchline?
>>21
The caffeine increased, and the taste mysteriously got better.
If you have a strong personality, it definitely seems like it could sell well.
I just want to try drinking it normally…
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.
>>26
Considering the recent unusual weather, it seems that improving the flavor of the resistant lobster species could also help in risk mitigation…
Hojo, you get used quite often.
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.
As always, they are a genius at moving people…
Nakai, you’re responding like ChatGPT…
Is it resistant to sea breeze?
Was Starbucks already around in 1996…?
I thought you had come to Japan about 10 years ago…
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.
I wonder if we can’t cultivate various strains through breeding in Japan.
>>35
Strong against the cold
If we improve it so that it can be done in lowlands…
I learned a little.
Such things are.
Later, slowly.
Just think about it.
>>38
It’s a way of thinking suited for businesspeople and entrepreneurs…
>>42
A man should be silent! Just! Think!
>>38
I like products that strip away trendy elements and focus on solid quality and robustness.
>>40
Aren’t you relying too much on your image…?
Right now, they’re made in Okinawa and Kagoshima, right?
It seems that it can be grown in a greenhouse in Honshu as well.
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.
Ten times caffeine is crazy!
The fact that two celebrities are properly rating it means it has good flavor…
Energy drinks seem good.
“Are you helping with that electrode something guy?”
There are definitely a certain number of people who resonate with this kind of thing…
>>50
I think it’s smart to target a somewhat older demographic around Ginza.
It will get ruined by the sea breeze and such…
It’s crazy to build a plant on a coral reef!
In Miyazaki, there were cocoa farms.
I wonder if there are coffee farms as well.
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.
I remember seeing an article about someone growing coffee in Saitama relatively recently.
Recently, there are stores that source various types and offer single origin options.
Domestic romance ultimately comes down to cost…
Don’t quietly destroy the coral reef of Okinotorishima.
>>60
You can think about that slowly later.
Has it really been 10 years since Blue Bottle?
I only know it through syntax.
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.
>>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.
So that’s why they put condensed milk in Vietnamese coffee.
Okinotorishima is probably hot because it is close to the equator.
If it’s about 10 times the amount of caffeine, it should be fine.
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.
It seems that sometimes there were moments later on when I couldn’t come up with a punchline.
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.
It would have been a failure course if I had mixed the beans.
It’s not bad because I went straight.
>>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.
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.
>>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.
The electrode’s dad is good at getting along in strange places…
>>73
The initial setting was playful compared to my son’s.
I think that side is probably still subtly remaining.
It’s amazing how well-organized the flow of coffee and beans within the country is.
Nakagawa answers Ryotsu’s questions logically, which is helpful, but it also seems like Nakagawa enjoys talking to Ryotsu.
Although unreasonable things are said,
They say that adding milk is actually better for the stomach.
Sugar is… sugar is, um.
Well, it feels a bit off to say that Ryo-chan should fail no matter what, doesn’t it? Isn’t it okay?
That’s a peaceful ending.
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.
If you don’t add milk, your urethra will die from stones.
>>83
Wasn’t that especially without basis?
>>147
Wasn’t the reasoning that coffee contains oxalic acid that binds with calcium or something like that?
>>151
In the first place, there is no particularly valid basis for saying that black coffee has a high risk of kidney stones.
>>151
That’s the theory, but it hasn’t been proven.
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.
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…
It’s rare that it’s not a business failure ending.
For Japanese people who love unsweetened black coffee, it certainly resonates.
When Nakagawa says it’s delicious, it really means something.
It’s not just about making money for the sake of money, so maybe they aimed for a pure success ending.
It was interesting, but the developments were rather rough and the ending felt unresolved… Still, it was entertaining, so the momentum is impressive.
I guess this story was created based on the fact that Okino Torishima is almost touching the coffee belt.
It’s rare to see someone successful…
Not only investing, but also product development and production, wearing uniforms to do it, electrodes are true businessmen…
I believe the know-how for successfully growing on a tanker can be sold.
It’s fine because it’s a gag manga, but wouldn’t having ten times the caffeine actually cause some people to die?
>>95
Rather, it’s amazing that the approach of promoting high caffeine content is not wrong, considering that the numbers are just ridiculous.
>>95
Then, just like with energy drinks, if you write a warning on the can, it should be fine.
Because it’s bitter, I pour in a lot of sugar.
I powered up with caffeine and sugar!
It seems like moving the helicopter each time will incur quite a cost…
Vietnamese coffee is delicious even when straight for Japanese people.
I wonder if a tanker can return to the mainland in the summer.
Instead of having a dangerous quality like a drug, it’s something that has absolute demand.
Stop the large-scale construction around the already sinking, somewhat dangerous area like the one in Masaharu!
>>103
Those things can be thought about slowly later.
>>103
The statement “It’s more like a rock than an island” is quite alarming.
>>106
I’m sure there were protests back when it was serialized…
It’s the usual pattern where desire leads to failure.
So I guess they decided to skip that part, huh…
>>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.
I’ve heard that Japan’s caffeine regulations are considerably more lenient than those in the West.
>>108
Touching that will probably affect the tea too, right?
>>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.
That’s too bad about the relationship.
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?
>>111
I think I can do it if that’s the question.
The cost, you know…
>>111
It could be done, but it would be too costly.
>>111
I think they were growing coffee trees at the botanical garden in the neighborhood.
The problem is probably related to cost.
In the end, is it good for the body or bad for it?
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…
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…
It’s recently become possible to make it in Okinawa, and it won’t be long before I can see it in Tokyo.
>>119
It’s priced so strangely that it might make Ryo-san feel weird.
Even the factory cultivation of vegetables and grains that have higher demand than coffee is not reaching the profit line.
>>120
There aren’t many valuable plants that can grow without heating or sunlight.
Let’s eat pothos, pothos!
>>126
It seems to be full of poison!
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.
>>121
So they are breeding varieties to match the climate.
That’s some serious determination…
Growing crops in a greenhouse with air conditioning is possible, but it must be difficult to replicate a tropical climate.
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.
Despite being so highly anticipated, modern tuna ultimately failed in commercialization.
It’s tough to cultivate or raise things separated from the natural environment.
I can’t believe you came up with a story like this…
Isn’t this an energy drink?
It ended up being just normally good…
I think the expression of the shock from drinking coffee for the first time really hits the mark.
What do you mean by “disappointing”? Now that I think about it, the name was disappointing…
Is the girl on the cover illustration your preference, teacher?
Isn’t there something that can substitute for coffee?
I occasionally hear about dandelions, but…
>>136
Dandelion!?
>>140
Isn’t that something that has existed for a hundred years?
The taste is, well… yeah.
>>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.
When looking at just the quantity, the tea is way too much…
Actually, I kind of want to try drinking it.
I have always wanted to try eating raw coffee cherries.
Can’t we improve the poop coffee even more?
>>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.
It’s unusually successful…
Isn’t it that poop coffee (civet coffee) is just coffee beans that are digested and then excreted by civet cats?
>>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?
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?
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.
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.
>>152
In terms of per person, it’s around 15th place, but for overall consumption, it’s about 4th place or something like that.
>>155
Even though the population is decreasing, it’s still quite large for now…
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…!?
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.
But is it feasible to cultivate on a tanker?
>>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?
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.
I think that establishing a record of coffee cultivation on Okinotorishima will be politically welcomed.
Isn’t it that oxalic acid is the cause of stones, so it’s not just about whether it is high in oxalic acid?
The theory that coffee doesn’t hydrate has also been debunked, and common knowledge tends to change over time…
>>165
Shirason…
Being bound by the coffee belt has, in a way, suppressed the rampage.
As for tankers, they are no longer produced in Tokyo.
Once it becomes clear that economic activities can be conducted, the government is likely to be pleased.
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.
Caffeine addiction is scary, isn’t it?
>>170
The dependency is weak…
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.
I wonder if we could build factories cheaply using waste heat from places like DC or power plants.
It seems like it could be used as a question to raise safety issues by listing the problems that will occur after this.
After all, it seems that being a police officer was the least suited for me.
I like the crazy sponsors that come up casually in places like this.
It seems there was a time when coffee was made in another episode as well.
Well, it’s a waste to use Okinotorishima only for fishing, isn’t it?
You can watch all channels on BS.
It’s amazing that Nakagawa and Reiko also praise the taste.
Arabica is more popular among the masses, but it’s difficult to grow; it doesn’t always go as planned.
Naturally, you aim for a sponsor in one panel and get their approval in the next panel.
