A local would say...

Founded in 1948, the 100-year-old owner still roasts the beans himself — the last true kissaten standing in Ginza.

The sign over the door reads 'Coffee Only' — and oh, what a selection. Sekiguchi Ichiro started this business in 1948 and remarkably, at the age of 100, still runs it himself, sourcing and roasting aged beans from all over the world. Step inside and the dark, retro interior immediately transports you to another era. This is classic Ginza kissaten culture at its purest: strong coffee, quiet conversation, and a sense that time has simply decided not to pass.
