Q. I've seen the name "Showa-cho Blend" in other stores. Is it a Usagi to Boku product?

A. "Showa-cho Blend®︎" is the original blend name that our store "Usagi to Boku" has registered as a trademark.
Some of our wholesale stores use our beans and officially sell them under the name "Showa-cho Blend®︎."
However, in recent years, we have seen cases where the same name is being used by businesses that are unrelated to ours.
To avoid any misunderstandings, please check with the seller whether the beans are roasted by "Usagi to Boku" before purchasing.
