00:00Next is Sumita-san
00:02Yes, from here on out, I'll give it a thumbs up
00:04Today's theme is
00:07Captivating everyone from young people to the Showa generation
00:09Travel back in time at a coffee shop
00:11Actually, today, April 13th, is Cafe Day.
00:15136 years ago, in the 21st year of the Meiji era
00:17The name comes from the fact that Japan's first coffee shop opened in Ueno.
00:21Now it is attracting the younger generation
00:23We visited coffee shops where you can immerse yourself in the Showa era.
00:28The coffee shops we chose this time were
00:31Sakata, an influencer who spreads Showa culture
00:35Marin
00:37First
00:38It's Ace in Kanda.
00:41This shop is
00:42An old-fashioned coffee shop
00:44It is an indispensable part of the coffee shop conversation.
00:50So I came to Kanda in Chiyoda Ward.
00:54There, announcer Arai, who was born in the Heisei era,
00:57do not have
00:58The Showa era world
01:02There it is over there
01:03It's Ace
01:04Well, it's a bit like Showa retro.
01:09Only regulars are allowed in.
01:11There's a certain atmosphere to it
01:13let's do it
01:17Hello
01:17thank you
01:19My name is Arai. Nice to meet you.
01:21Yes, thank you very much
01:22Wow, amazing!
01:24Just looking inside the store really does have a retro feel to it.
01:28Basically it's the same as when you first started
01:32In this state
01:33Amazing just like this
01:35Among them are
01:37Is this a black phone?
01:39that's right
01:39picture
01:40Still active
01:41Wow, this is the first time I've seen a black phone.
01:44Active?
01:47Yes, I'm Ace
01:49This is Arai
01:50Hello everyone
01:53Isn't this a little amazing?
01:55Now in the Reiwa era, with black telephones and smartphones
02:01This company was founded in 1971 (Showa 46).
02:06It is run by two brothers, aged 81 and 79.
02:12There are about 40 types of coffee.
02:15Apparently they also sell rare foreign beans.
02:20The particularly popular coffee menu
02:24Ponche de cafe con leche
02:25Ponche de Cafe Fro
02:26picture?
02:27Conreche
02:28Top
02:29Ponche de cafe con leche
02:31yes
02:33Well, I'm a bit curious.
02:36Ponche de cafe con leche
02:38It means coffee with milk in Spanish.
02:43Sherry whipped cream
02:45It's a drink that gives off an exotic feel with the addition of walnuts.
02:52I'll enjoy having this
02:57delicious
02:59It has no bitterness and tastes sweet
03:04When you drink it with walnuts, the flavor suddenly increases.
03:07delicious
03:09We are committed to coffee from around the world.
03:11Kanda Ace's signature menu item is
03:14Wow, here it comes
03:17Yes, sorry to keep you waiting
03:19It seems to be easy to use
03:20Anori
03:21Yes, there really is glue sandwiched in between.
03:24Just by getting close to it, you can smell the wonderful aroma of glue.
03:26I'll enjoy having this
03:31Yes, it's delicious.
03:33It tastes like nothing I've ever eaten before
03:35The taste of butter and soy sauce seaweed
03:39It suits you so well
03:40A Western-style nori bento
03:44It's delicious
03:46In fact, the inspiration came from the Monori bento
03:49Yes
03:49Mother of Two
03:50Moto-san often made it for me.
03:53Born from the taste of memories
03:55Nori toast
03:58The recipe is very simple
04:01First, pour soy sauce over the bread.
04:06Then put roasted seaweed on top.
04:103-minute toast
04:13Once you take it out, spread plenty of butter on it.
04:16Sandwich and you're done!
04:20The saltiness of soy sauce and the richness of butter
04:23This dish pairs perfectly with roasted seaweed.
04:27I was actually excited to enter.
04:29Oh, is that so?
04:30You have to be a regular customer after all.
04:32I thought maybe I shouldn't come.
04:33No, no, no, that's not true.
04:35Well, if I had come earlier, I wouldn't have come.
04:38Until you enter
04:39But I've already talked to you all
04:42All at once, something had been coming
04:44It almost seemed like he was a customer.
04:47I feel so relieved.
04:48I'm happy
04:52Next up, we headed to Asakusa in Taito Ward, a coffee shop where you can immerse yourself in the Showa era.
05:08What kind of Showa world is this?
05:12Ah, this is it. There it is. It says "Denkiya Hall." The sign is a little like this.
05:18It has a retro, old-fashioned atmosphere.
05:24Wow
05:26Hello. Nice to meet you. Welcome. Amazing. A truly relaxing coffee shop.
05:34That's the feeling I get. When was this company founded?
05:381903. Founded in 1903. 1903. Yes. I know this may be rude, but...
05:43How old are you? I'm 92 years old. Yes. I have my own thoughts. What? 92 years old?
05:50I can't see anything at all. No no no, I'm barely walking. No no no no no
05:54no.
05:55The second-generation owner, Yoneko-san, is 92 years old this year. She is still active and always
06:02Apparently he is in charge of serving customers.
06:06Denki Hall is a very long-established coffee shop that has been in business for over 120 years.
06:11The traditional cafe menu is irresistible.
06:15Enjoy rye curry and many other cafe menu items.
06:18It's a shop where you can enjoy it.
06:21It was originally an electrical appliance store, but it became a milk hall.
06:24Apparently, the name was changed to Electric Hall because of the change.
06:28Yo.
06:30What is this shop with such a long history?
07:45In the Electric Hall, you can travel back in time to the Showa era.
07:49There is another specialty.
07:53Sorry to have kept you waiting. It's omuraki. Omuraki. Wow, it's so voluminous.
07:58It's a bit spicy, but the sauce smells amazing.
08:03Invented by the founder, Torazo. He had eaten yakisoba at a food stall.
08:09Ome rolls were created with the idea of evolving them into something more sophisticated.
08:13The filling is still just cabbage, just like back then.
08:19It has been wrapped in egg like an omelet rice for over 100 years.
08:24It is a dish that continues to be loved.
08:30Then I'll eat it.
08:34yeah!
08:37It's delicious.
08:38The sauce and the soft, fluffy egg taste perfectly match.
08:43thank you.
08:44Moreover, the noodles are quite thick and chewy.
08:47delicious.
08:48It doesn't feel very Japanese to me.
08:51Yes, yes. That's what your grandfather was aiming for too. See you then.
08:54Omelet rice was popular in Western cuisine, so I decided to make it.
08:57I wondered what would happen if I wrapped soba noodles in egg too.
08:59And especially since it uses ketchup.
09:03Denkiya Hall continues to maintain its unchanged flavor.
09:08We are currently in the second and third generation, but what happens next?
09:12Yes, actually my daughter is helping me now and I also have grandchildren.
09:17picture?
09:17Yes, so I hope it will continue for generations to come.
09:21yes.
09:22After all, it was made by my grandfather, so I treasure it.
09:26I would like to continue to protect it.
09:28But what about the fifth generation?
09:29yes.
09:29Safe for now.
09:30For now, everything is safe.
09:32Well, Arai-san, how was it?
09:35Honestly, I think they were both visiting the homes of friends.
09:39There was a pleasant sense of nostalgia.
09:41It was wonderful.
09:42I agree.
09:43Well, actually, there is another specialty that has been around since the restaurant first opened.
09:47Here it is.
09:49This is a hot drink called boiled azuki beans, and this is Daimyo small azuki beans.
09:53It takes three days to prepare the ingredients.
09:56The image is like a smooth sweet soup.
10:00He said.
10:01The founder came up with the idea after seeing this being sold at a food stall.
10:04that's right.
10:05Currently, there are products that have evolved like this, and this is called Azuki Ore.
10:09Hello, I added whipped cream and milk to the red beans.
10:15It seems that it is.
10:15Yeah.
10:17That's all for today's recommendation.
10:18Thank you for watching.
