KOMO is short for KoBiMo, a mythical coffee bean monster who is said to
have once inhabited the snowy mountains of Niigata, Japan in the 1700s.
KoBiMo loved to roam around the nearby villages at night, looking for warm places to crash. And ‘crash’ some homes and temples he did, and villagers were terrified of him. In truth, KoBiMo is quite a friendly monster. Rumors have it that there have been sightings of KoBiMo in the present day. He is represented affectionately in our label illustration.
