I wish I could store and save pieces for later. I don’t have any such organization or presence of mind—needing to read something the moment I see it….or it slowly disappears down the inbox.
Thank you so much as always for taking the time to read. It makes me very happy.
Coffee shops like this one are my happy place. We had one in West LA a while ago but, alas, it closed...I've had good ones since then but nothing exactly magical.
We need a kissaten revival movement!
I think I’m gonna brew some Italian roast.
That hit all the rich notes, both caffeinated and musical.
Hahahah! A Latte Etude!
Autocorrect changed right notes to rich notes but I don’t mind this time
This post brought me back in time…
A lovely read.
Thanks Mike!!
And again, this is why I save your writing for when I'm relaxed. Aiyeee, Jack.

I save via "pin" on hotmail, Jack. I have to or I will lose what I want to read...sometimes, I can't read right away.
Ah, such a perfect turn at the end!

Thank you so much, Oleg! I really wasn’t sure if that little flip would communicate at the end, or be too odd. Glad you picked it up.
Kissaten feature heavily in some of my fondest Tokyo memories. Good times!
I would bet that’s the case for many Japanese too. It’s like a local members club, a daytime bar.
... And an excellent dating spot!
This is beautiful.
Thank you, Lizzie! Very glad you enjoyed.
This is what you were talking about the other day. I get it now. What a place! Sad to see it go like so many others.
Yes that recent closure spurred this piece. But today I’m really writing about my first kissaten. I spent so much time there.
