The Showa Era is a massive cultural and economic development period in Japan but its icons are often skipped over in your average trip around Tokyo. There are plenty of small, family owned coffee shops that encapsulate this post-war era's reconstruction, and they all have their quirks, from coo-coo clocks to handmade pastries.

So take a step back in time with Emily to shops that are more than your average mainstream corner cafes.

We're going into a 10 day holiday strwak this week with thanks to the enthronement of a new emperor. That also means we're entering a new era: Reiwa.
Alex explains each holiday and also talks about the Rolling Stones Self Produced Exhibit in Tokyo.

※The closing day of EXHIBITIONISM - The Rolling Stones, which we talked about last episode, has been extended until Wednesday, June 5th!
Take this opportunity to check it out if you're in Tokyo!
