ITARU MORIYAMA × SIDEWALK COFFEE
Coffee Glaze Tableware for COVERCHORD
Coffee-infused glaze with a warm, natural touch.
Exclusive mug and plate by Itaru Moriyama.
A slow morning, a relaxed afternoon—moments to pause and unwind.
These coffee-glazed ceramic pieces are made to bring warmth and comfort to your daily coffee time.
Made by Itaru Moriyama, a ceramic artist based in Amakusa, Kumamoto, who creates pieces that naturally complement food using locally sourced materials.
For this collaboration, COVERCHORD teamed up with Moriyama and SIDEWALK COFFEE to repurpose used coffee grounds.
After drying them over time, the grounds were burned into ash and used as the base for a unique glaze.
The original mug and plate showcase Moriyama’s signature clay texture, enriched by the warm, earthy tones of the coffee glaze.
See it, feel it, savor it—slow down and enjoy a moment for the senses.
Available at COVERCHORD stores from Saturday, February 22nd.

SIDEWALK COFFEE
To create the coffee-glazed tableware, the coffee grounds used in the glaze were sourced from SIDEWALK COFFEE, a coffee stand born in Nakameguro.
Set along the river where the seasons shift, nestled in green paths and alleyways, it’s a welcoming spot where people of all ages gather and unwind.
Expertly roasted to highlight the unique character of each bean, the coffee can be enjoyed in-store or purchased online.
SIDEWALK COFFEE uses a fully hot-air LORING ROASTER smart roaster, designed to evenly heat the core of the beans without over-roasting the surface.
This method preserves the natural aroma and brings out the bright acidity, clarity, and smooth sweetness of specialty coffee beans.

SIDEWALK COFFEE
Located in Nakameguro, Yutenji, and Shimokitazawa, SIDEWALK COFFEE is a coffee stand inspired by the idea of providing a relaxed space for a quick break in the city.
Offering house-roasted coffee brewed one cup at a time, fresh craft beer from the brewery, and artisan-baked bread and bagels, each item is served with care and attention.
