I like to visit cafes when visiting abroad.. just to go cafe.. and see how people are walking on the street and time goes by .. without any need to hurry anywhere.. Cafeterias are so familiar to me. My mother used to work in cafeteria and I was helping her in younger age.. Texas buns.. and Sacher cakes.. Capuchinos..

    From my short experience in Japan, jazz is played practically everywhere. Tokyo, Kioto, Nagano, Osaka. Caffees, ramen restaurants, izakayas. The only exceptions were Starback with standard pop and one ramen shop in Bunkyo City in Tokyo where they played J.S.Bach

    I gotta check out Violon next time. Last time I went to Chatei Hatou in Shibuya, definitely the more old school place with smoking inside allowed, and seems to be popular with many salary men and women. The drip coffee is done really slowly through a cloth filter, and the whole place is decorated with very ornate tea cups. If I recall, chiffon cakes were part of their menu. Here in Aus I stick to a single origin long black, or oat milk flat white
