welcome to Tokyo Tuesday if you're a
regular viewer that's pretty good timing
today
sherry has come out to a such to join me
in showing you something that I've
wanted to show you for a while the best
breakfast place in the city at least in
the city of assets ah so I've got my own
personal favorite breakfast place and
it's what's called a Kisa tip you know I
want to explain to you guys what a Keith
attend is so the way I'm gonna explain
this is in about three parts I'm gonna
start with my explanation and then we're
gonna go and I'm gonna show you and then
I'm gonna get sherry to explain more
detail so the most basic way to think
about is a Kisa ten is kind of like a
cafe it's more like an old traditional
Japanese cafe that looks like it was
built in like the 80s or seven years
let's start there I have a personal
favorite that I have been going to for
nearly 10 years for breakfast and I'm
gonna bring sherry there today
so these Keith's of 10 are pretty common
in Tokyo how about Matsuyama I don't
think so there are a few but I don't
think I've ever been to any key
something in my life may be met I was a
little with my grandma or something yeah
I feel like a quintessential feature of
these Kisa 10 or old cafes are just
getting to enjoy some time with the
local elderly yeah because they're
always there right over here is a street
called dim point Dodie or them point
straight and this is it right here royal
coffee
[Music]
so one of my favorite parts about this
place did you see the menu when coming
out to these types of cafes a couple
important points to remember usually the
prices aren't super great and the
portions are really small
this place has morning sets for like
five six bucks pretty much all inclusive
in the food here is really good they
have like hot sandwiches in it you know
let's just this is going announcements
okay I personally am a fan of the B side
they got almost the exact same thing
every single time I come here but come
in the morning I get the pset if I come
in the afternoon I'll usually get like a
hot sandwich or something like that
they're minced meat hot sandwich is
really really good sherry and I got into
a really interesting talk about the
kanji of Pisa 10 and what it means and
everything like that
the food's coming soon so we're gonna
eat and we will cover that write a
script
[Music]
so bitter yeah I really like the coffee
here because it's got a really deep
roasted taste but if you're not into
like really bitter coffee it might not
be free I thought for sure sure he was
gonna make his coffee is amazing but as
always that was a really good breakfast
what did you think why is that so bright
I guess that just did it what what do
you think it was good good it's so
descriptive I fall yeah and we got
really lucky in there as well because
you see they've actually made like a no
filming rule as of recently but they're
like since you've been coming so long
we'll give you this one last chance but
but then no more so this might be the
last time I can actually put this place
on video
alright now that we found a quiet spot
there's something that we were talking
about that I wanted to share with you
guys and it's pretty relevant to the
whole Kisa 10 discussion and
understanding what a key set 10 is so
let's start with the kanji which way
with the kanji go okay I think okay so
let's start by breaking down that
country so what does the kanji actually
mean okay so first kanji keeps Lou that
means smoking like he's in smoking and
ii kanji is cha
so it's drinking tea and then last 110
is missus so it's a it's a shot shot so
the original concept of this was just to
sit down have some tea or a coffee and
and smoke yeah you're saying that like
originally these were like the afternoon
hangouts for salaryman right sometimes
they have meetings and just like grab
some books and just be there and
drinking coffee and smoking and just
like relax all of those things one of
the reasons that I chose a Royal is
because there are a lot of key sits in
here in a sucks and a lot of them you
walk in is smoke in your face and you're
like nope did you smell smoke when we
went in there no yeah as we were leaving
we noticed that there was like people
like one guy near the door soaking
actually very rarely see people smoking
there but if smoke is something that
bothers you avoid kiss attend all
together because well yeah if you're
like not particularly bothered by it at
all then you're usually pretty good but
on that note there's something this way
that I want to show you guys cherry
remember how I said there's like an
entire place like covered by leaves
that's all little piece of tendon
restaurant yeah it's right over here
you'll find this covered arcade here
this shoten guy now you
in access this spot through the shoten
guy but I like to pass the show tank guy
just a little bit over to here do keep
in mind that since we're recording this
in like the winter it might not actually
be covered with leaves okay but I'm
gonna use my imagination then actually
if it was a sign for it there's a sign
right there and I probably just should
have showed it that's the best read
that's the best translation I've ever
heard
vines famous restaurants treat that
ladies and gentlemen that's professional
translation work right there this is it
here
[Music]
oh very serious thing it is right yeah I
think my kindergarten had something like
this
yes idea like little restaurants like
over here there's a couple going down
this way and in this entire section
right here I can ask them if we can see
what inside the shop looks like hostels
a month they said okay
so this is basically just one of the
bars on the street just a little place
to drink and hang out it's mostly for
the locals but it's not exclusive of
anybody else that wants to come and
check the place out and the entire
street the entire Street is little bars
and stuff like this so slightly
off-topic from the keys attending but
still a really cool spot here in a
Sukkah that I wanted to show you guys
that I've lost sherry I don't know what
that is this area is one of the areas
that made me fall in love with the suck
so just because of how friendly the
locals are so you just ask can I record
your shop and then I can go for it
Wow and this right here is also a nice
of a coffee shop when it's open and that
actually lines up right with this the
street we were just on which is blown
out you can't see it but did you spend
two minutes following the pigeons yeah I
did they go to the shop yeah they do
they do we have gotten so far off track
from the topic of talking about like the
best breakfast in did you know they have
one with the ice cream
what yeah the Kathy's are off the charts
but they actually like stuff ice cream
into the metal and pop
looks good and then as we get out of
here we're basically at Sensoji temple
[Music]
you can smell the plum blossom I know
spring how is spring almost here what is
the date even roulette only at the end
of February and spring is already almost
here by the way if you're gonna be in
Tokyo before the cherry blossom season
you're like oh I'm gonna miss the cherry
blossoms check out plum blossoms there
are tons of areas around Japan that has
that have plum blossom groves they're
just as beautiful if not more beautiful
in some ways some of them are more
colorful yeah they're cute yeah plum
blossoms is getting really really hot
it's warm today it's like a down jacket
was a poor choice but I really hope that
you guys enjoyed this one it gives you
potentially somewhere new to go for
breakfast it's definitely my favorite
spot I don't know maybe I'll see you
there
sherry are you gonna hang out in the
comments with me on this course also a
note on the plum blossoms I would be
going to show them to you guys but
pretty much as I'm releasing this video
