Coffee in Tokyo

A coffee-only Ginza kissaten opened in 1948, known for single-origin beans aged for ten to twenty years. About six minutes on foot from Ginza Station; check the weekly closing day before you go.

Coffee has been served in this 1916 wooden townhouse in old Yanaka since 1938, and it was carefully restored in 2009. Sit on tatami upstairs and order the egg sandwich; closed on Mondays.

A tasting bar where the same coffee is served several ways, from cold brew to espresso, in courses paired with small sweets. Reserve a counter seat in advance.
