illi Group was established by three friends who met at a sharehouse in Shimokitazawa. Kuroki, Founder and CEO of BNS says: “Back when we were housemates, we often enjoyed each other’s company over freshly ground coffee while playing our favorite tunes in the common area. We would also bar hop, meeting new people and immersing in Shimokitazawa’s vibrant and unique culture. Through our experiences both within and outside the sharehouse, we were exposed to various life-changing encounters and events that have shaped us into who we are today.
