[VIDEO] Sea Cloud: The Movie
In honor of this summer’s most popular iced coffee beverage, Michael’s Cafe American proudly presents Sea Cloud, the movie!
(okay it’s not really a movie, it’s only 42 seconds long, but if you drink as much coffee as I do, 42 seconds is a long time)
Our Sea Cloud Iced Latte is made with fresh whole milk from local dairy farms. First, the milk is poured into a glass with ice. Then fresh roasted coffee from our own Black Ship Coffee is made into a generous serving of espresso, then carefully poured on top, so that it floats like a cloud on top of the ice cold milk.
Videographer Daisuke Hakamada (Tono Brewing Company) captured the sea clouds of the Tono basin, using an iPhone, and time-lapse photography, in the hills high above Tono, at sunrise.
Kanreki Rocks! Celebrating 60 at Michael’s Cafe
Why celebrate one birthday when you can celebrate two? We teamed up to combine the July birthdays of Kazuhiko Tada & Michael Dougan and threw a party.
The Week That Was Golden
Golden Week brought many new faces, and lots of good food and celebration. We’re still new (only about ten weeks!) so this was our first test serving Tono during a busy holiday.

Texas – Japan Connection
Tsuyoshi Sato came in today, was happy to see our Texas flag. Tsuyoshi-san lived and studied briefly in Ennis, Texas, when he was 19. More about Ennis here.
As a boy, I lived very close to Ennis, in Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, until the end of grade school.
