As I slowly pieced this article together for Sprudge.com, I realized that what interests me about kissaten culture is what interests me about Japan and Tokyo in general - it's the clash and harmony of the contemporary and the traditional.
In that sense, the article is something of a meditation on why we should value the past, and treasure the experiences that give us such clear views of it; in its own way, the kissaten is a kind of time machine.
I'm a Tokyo based writer who does food, coffee, and short fiction. In love with the ever constant ebb and flow of Tokyo life.
A really interesting article, Hengtee. Thanks for sharing!
Will definitely have to check L'Ambre out sometime soon!

Love this post - you really captured one of the things I love most about Japan which is that juxtaposition of traditional and modern culture. Thanks for sharing Hengtee! Go coffee!
