An Interview with Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Author of *Before the Coffee Gets Cold*

What if, for the duration of a cup of coffee, you could meet someone from your past? What would you like to say to them?

On October 30, we had the pleasure of hosting Toshikazu Kawaguchi—a Japanese writer and author of the bestselling series *Before the Coffee Gets Cold*, which has touched the hearts of readers around the world—atPJAIT !

The room was packed to capacity, and the event was moderated by Piotr Milewski—a writer, journalist, traveler, and lecturer at PJAIT. Together, we were transported to a literary world where a cup of coffee becomes an excuse to reflect on time, memories, relationships, and what really matters in life. After the discussion, it was time for autographs, group photos, and one-on-one conversations with the author.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Toshikazu Kawaguchi for an inspiring meeting, to Piotr Milewski for moderating the discussion, and to all the participants for turning out in such large numbers and for their openness and engagement!

It's one of those get-togethers we'd love to experience again—even if just for the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.
