POSTPONED – [ONLINE EVENT] Explore Japan’s Coffee Culture
Monday, October 3, 2022
Free
Our friends at Arigato Travel and JASDFW are glad to partner for a follow-up event from this summer’s journey to Tsukiji Market. Join Lauren Shannon to learn about the classic coffee culture in Japan in a one-hour live broadcast from Tokyo. Have you ever heard about kissaten? This is an old-style Japanese coffee house that also serves special food and sweets. As a coffeeholic always looking for the best spots around Japan, Lauren will share more about the special heritage and how it inspires modern cafes today, but also what makes these places so charming and how they are greatly loved along many meji-showa traditions in Japan. Even if they are slowly disappearing, kissaten still have so many fans and you will find out why! Coffee history is a fun lens through which to learn about Japan since the late 19th century. Come step back in time, kissaten-style.
