About Japanese kissaten
Kissaten literally means a "tea-drinking shop," but typically refers to Japan’s traditional cafes. They were developed in the early 20th century as a quiet place to drink coffee and a gathering place for writers and intellectuals. While their numbers have been decreasing in recent years, kissaten are still looked upon very affectionately in Japanese culture as the living heritage of a golden age. For many, they are not just a place to enjoy delicious food and coffee, they also fill people with nostalgia and emotion.
