About
The story behind Nomu Specialty
Nomu Specialty is a celebration of café culture rooted in the snowy streets of Hokkaido and shared with the world. We champion the people, stories, and rituals that make each cup memorable — from meticulous brewers to cozy corner cafés and the communities that form around them.
Our approach
Each issue blends thoughtful writing with tactile visuals to recreate the atmosphere of late-night cafés, quiet mornings, and spirited conversations. We lean into warm tones, generous white space, and curated photography to let each story breathe.
The magazine is designed to feel like a keepsake — a piece you leave on the coffee table, return to often, and share with friends when you find a detail that resonates.
