Gifu Sei-Toku Gakuen High School Collaborates with Kyoto's Akai Noroshi to Promote Fair Trade Coffee and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

 Gifu Shotoku Gakuen High School (Nakauri, Gifu City), where second-year students in the commercial department learn about sustainable development goals (SDGs) through comprehensive learning, collaborated with "Patisserie Cura," a pastry and café shop in Kisomote, Gifu City, and "Akai Noroshi," a Kyoto-based company that handles imported coffee beans from Thailand, to plan a new menu. The menu will be available for a limited time from April 6th at the same store, which also sells imported coffee beans from Thailand through fair trade deals. The company was founded by Ryuuhei Yano (26) during his studies at Ryukoku University, and directly procures beans from a farm in the northern part of Chiang Rai, Thailand.


The high school students, who have a connection to Ryukoku University, learned about Yano's initiatives through the university's introduction during their comprehensive learning program in February. In order to introduce the company's coffee beans to the local community of Gifu, the students proposed a collaboration with Mr. Fujikichi (26), the owner of the shop, and suggested a new menu using the coffee beans.


The shop will use the company's Thai coffee beans in its new tiramisu, and will also offer coffee drinks with cake sets (starting from 1,300 yen including a drink). During the first few days starting from April 6th, the students will be at the store making coffee with the spring break.


On the 29th, the students learned how to brew coffee from Yano and suggested making the cakes look cute and photogenic. Nana Matsuda, a student at the school, said, "We hope people in Gifu can enjoy the taste of Thai coffee beans."
