The woman in charge told me I could not sit at the table I first chose. Then after I lit my pipe she told me that pipe and cigars were not allowed although there was no sign saying so. I wish I never went there. I will never go back. There are more friendly cafes in Kinshicho (Roje for example) which let you sit where you want and smoke what you want.

A beautiful jun-kissa (classic coffee shop), run single-handedly by a cheerful, fun lady. (Other reviews say she's domineering and such, but that's not true at all. lol) It's great that smoking is allowed! Even so, you don't really notice a cigarette smell, and it feels clean. For iced coffee, I recommend ari-ari (with milk and sugar)☕️ It has a sweet, cacao-like aroma — why is it so delicious... Just being here lifts my mood. A place I hope will be around forever. I'll be back!

I visited wanting to take a breather after lunch. The interior is the very picture of a retro coffee shop…. My impression is that many of the customers are regulars. They have most of the menu items you'd expect from a retro coffee shop, and I recommend it to anyone who likes coffee shops with this kind of atmosphere. It seems to be one order per 2 hours. Payment seems to be cash only. It seems smoking is allowed here, so I don't recommend it to those who don't like cigarettes.

I visited around 3 p.m. on a Sunday. It was almost full inside. Luckily I got seated without waiting, but two groups after me it was already full and they couldn't get in. The whole place was all about horse racing, with older guys making a racket watching the live broadcast on TV, and a scattering of regular customers — that was the vibe. The seat I happened to be shown to was a Space Invaders game table, which was fun. Prices weren't that high either, and the staff moved briskly, were kind, and laughed a lot — a really nice atmosphere. The restroom was also cleaned nicely, and overall I think it's a good place. However, since smoking is allowed at the seats, I can't recommend it to people who dislike smoking. It's not smoky, but the smell is quite noticeable…… I'm a smoker so it's fine for me, but if you don't like it, be careful. Personally, I highly recommend this place.

On weekday lunchtimes, it's a place where office workers come to unwind. The bustling hum of the room is truly that of a Showa-era coffee shop. And the interior is clean. The conversations between the floor staff and the regulars are pleasant to listen to. The coffee is delicious too. A lovely coffee shop I hope will be around forever.
