So to help with this tabled turned interview, Melissa was kind enough to hop in and guide the conversation. Melissa's podcast: T...

And here SHE is:) Yuki has sought out, enjoyed and brewed coffee in many locations globally. She's more known for her Book Nerd Tokyo Instagram account cause she's also a bookworm (yet another reason to adore her)...
