Kyoto, Japan｜ROKUYOSHA

A good vintage coffee Inside smoking OK. Donuts is kind of hard, less sweet than normal donuts. But still a good taste like other Japanese food.

! Be aware: it’s a smoking place! Old fashioned Japanese “kissaten” coffee shop. In the midday there were a lot of customers, most of them smoking, so you don’t miss smoke in the air. But it just adds some nostalgic feeling to the place: in our days you hardly can find such a smoker’s place. The interior has wooden walls and ceiling, soft comfortable chairs, so if you are ok with smoking, you want to spend some time with a book or a newspaper here. As the coffee shop was full of customers, I was seen to the table where another customer was already sitting, to sit with him together at one table - it’s pretty uncommon custom in Japan, but I believe it was not rare in old days, so I think it is cute that you can experience this attitude here. Coffee was served in a beautiful cup and it was tasty.

100 years 続く店へ. In Japan, although there are many brands with a history of more than a hundred years, most of them are in manufacturing, or temple repairs, and coffee shops are still very hardworking. Even the underground store of Liuyaosha, which is full of the atmosphere and brilliance of an old store, has only celebrated its 68th year of opening this year. However, the third generation at the age of 30 has already taken over. During the interview, he explained that Ono will fight for a hundred years Heart, well, 32 years later, we are still the same, see you in Kawaramachi Sanjo.
