Legendary Ginza kissaten since 1948, known for aged coffee beans and meticulous nel drip brewing.
Cafe de Lambre is a legendary kissaten (traditional Japanese coffee house) in Ginza, founded in 1948 by the late Ichiro Sekiguchi, a pioneer of Japanese coffee culture. The cafe specializes in aged coffee beans, some stored for over a decade, which produce a remarkably smooth and mellow cup. The vintage interior, with its dark wood counters and retro atmosphere, feels like stepping into a time capsule of mid-century Tokyo.
