In Hong Kong, they’ve got the Cha Chaan Teng (茶餐廳). And in Japan, there’s the Kissaten (喫茶店). Here, the owner with his slightly stooped back brings you tea, while his wife runs the kitchen. Instead of going to some famous Western-style restaurant, I came to a little neighborhood kissaten. After the Meiji Restoration, as Japan modernized, Yōshoku (洋食) was born—dishes like tonkatsu, Napolitan spaghetti, Hamburg steak, and omurice. Port cities like Kobe and Yokohama became the centers of coffee culture and yōshoku. This place is like a cozy living room for the local grandmas. Everyone eventually grows old, bodies slowly giving out, one part at a time. The couple here must have raised their kids while brewing coffee and serving meals for over thirty years. While everyone else is obsessed with Instagram, I decided to stop by here instead— and yeah, I’m slowly mellowing out. The food? Delicious. The people? Warm and kind. I just hope they can keep it going another ten years— Keep walking. By the way, “Sumire (すみれ)” means violet, the flower. And yes, you’re free to smoke here. 홍콩 차찬탱 (茶餐廳) 이라면 일본에는 깃사탱(喫茶店)이 있지. 구부정한 허리로 오차를 가져다 주는 주인장과 주방을 맡은 그의 아내가 해 유명한 양식집 대신 동네 喫茶店에 왔어. 메이지 유신 이후 근대화 와 함께 요쇼쿠(洋食)를이 탄생 해 가. 돈카츠, 나폴리탄스파게티,함박스텍,오무라이스등이. 개항구인 고오베는 요코하마와 함께 커피와 요쇼쿠(洋食)의 중심지라 해. 동네 할머니들의 사랑방이야. 누구나 할머니와 할아버지가 되고 점점 몸이 하나씩 하나씩 사그라지며 장애자가 되가지 . 30년 이상을 여기서 커피와 식사를 만들며 자식들을 키웠갰지. 인스타 몰두 하다 여기서 쉬어 가 봐. 슬슬 로로 우우우 해져. 음식! 맛 있어. 그리고 친절하고 따뜻 하셔. 계속 해서 10년은 바로 Keep walking 하기를 바래. *스미레(すみれ )눈 제비꽃 이라 해. * 담배 필 자유가 있어.

ここも近隣初訪問。 昭和40年位から時が止まってる、、、 レトロそのものです。 エアコンも天井用エアコン以外の2台は、見たことない代物やった。 驚いたのはこう言ってはアレだがしっかり入口が自動ドアだったのと、ウエットティッシュにお水、あと配膳時にお冷とは別で烏龍茶を出して頂けたこと。 例によっておしぼりないお店が周り少ないので、すごく嬉しかった。 食事3にしたのは、メニュー数に対し焼きそば定食1回食べただけで、カツ丼とかピラフとか、他のメニュー食べていないからです。 このメニュー、いつも全部出せるのだとしたら年老いたお二人でされているから敬服。 焼きそばは手作りやけど焼き加減が足りずやや薄味。 味噌汁はもっと薄味の健康志向。 定食セットのご飯は柔らかめだけど、立派な茶碗入りでホカホカ。 そして漬物は明らかに手作り。 客はランチ私一人でしたが、いったいどんな人が来ているのか気になる。 ごちそうさまでした。 Price per person: ¥1–1,000 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
