Welcome to CoZmo, a cafe and bar on the edge of Shibuya where it abuts Aoyama. And meet Ronna Wagenheim, its creator, proprietor, head chef and host. With the assistance of only one hand on deck, the charming Junella Hidaka, Ronna opens her hip retreat every night to escapees from the madness down the hill in Shibuya proper.

After graduating with a degree in Fine Arts from Miami University in Ohio, Ronna moved to Boulder, Colorado, where the alternative coffee-shop culture was jumping.

"I arrived in Japan wearing a pair of denim overalls!" Ronna exclaims, sounding a bit surprised at herself.
