The room

Founder Shigemitsu Higuchi built the venue around a growing record collection. The café’s continuity forms part of Sapporo’s jazz history, and it remains listed among the city’s jazz venues in the 2026 Sapporo City Jazz guide distribution programme.

The documented installation centres on a JBL Paragon D44000, with Thorens Prestige turntables and Mark Levinson ML-1L and No.333L amplification. The equipment account describes an established installation rather than a newly dated refit.
