THE・Showa era-style coffee shop "Kimuraya". The signboard of the shop is missing the letter "La", but that's part of its charm. Pudding a la mode ¥1,050, Coffee ¥460. While the entire building exudes a Showa era atmosphere, this coffee shop stands out as a true time warp experience.

It was located in the underground shopping area near Shinbashi Station. The exterior had a retro Showa style! Inside, the chairs, menu, everything gave a feeling of going back to the Showa era, making it very calming. This time, I had mitsumame and pudding, and had a relaxing time!

This is truly a retro Showa era coffee shop! Located on the underground floor of the Shinbashi Station East Exit building, which was built in 1965, there is a cafe that seems to have frozen in time with a nostalgic atmosphere. Omelette rice, Napolitan spaghetti, mixed juice, lemon squash...time passes slowly here. The specialty is the pudding a la mode! Luxuriously presented with cherries as accents, the traditional pudding is firm but not heavy. Enjoy the atmosphere of the shop and the sepia-colored taste.

During my one-hour break at work, I was wondering where to spend my time, and then I stumbled upon a place called "Pudding". It was a retro-style café that I really like. So, I decided to go in and ordered coffee and something like a pudding a la mode (the actual menu name was different). The total was ¥1410. The pudding was firm and had a mix of fresh and canned fruits on top. The combination of sweetness and the bitterness of the coffee was very soothing. It was a nice little break. Thank you for the meal.

Newly renovated retro-style café located in the basement of the 1st building in front of Shinbashi Station. The exterior and interior have a nostalgic feel, with relaxing Western music playing in the background. Visited on a weekday at 10 am, with 3 groups of customers already seated and 2 groups arriving after. It was a very relaxing time to visit as it was not crowded. The Morning Set costs 530 yen, with the coffee being strong yet smooth, and the thick toast perfectly toasted. The warm boiled egg was a nice touch. A simple and affordable morning set that was surprisingly delicious.

At Katorea, the food was sold out, so I decided to visit another cafe in Shimbashi. I remembered a cafe called Kimuraya in the Shimbashi Ekimae Building, although I'm not sure if it's related to the famous Kimuraya. The place was crowded with a retro cafe vibe, and it seemed to be a family-run business with the master and his wife busy cooking while their son took orders. I decided to order a hot dog and wine set, which was a great deal at 950 yen. The food arrived promptly, and the hot dog was delicious with coleslaw and ketchup flavors. The toasted bread added a nice touch, and the chilled red wine paired perfectly with the hot dog. The red chairs in the cafe added a cute and lovely atmosphere. I would love to visit this place again, maybe next time for a full meal. The quality was high, and the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

On a weekday afternoon past 2 pm, I entered a restaurant with noticeable empty seats. However, soon after, customers started coming in one after another, and before long, the place was almost full... It's a popular spot, it seems. I felt lucky. The staff's customer service was polite and gentle, leaving a good impression on me. When I asked, "Is it okay to take photos of the food?" they kindly responded, "If you can do it without disturbing other customers." The menu included toast, sandwiches, spaghetti, and other typical cafe items. For dessert, there were various puddings, parfaits, pancakes, and even traditional Japanese sweets like anmitsu and mitsumame. The cozy sofa seats were tightly packed, giving off a nostalgic vibe. Situation: Visited in June 2023 on a weekday at 2:08 pm with no wait. Sat at a 3-person table in the back left. Service: Smooth. Order: Ordered the Royal Pudding for 950 yen (excluding the vanilla ice cream) and an iced coffee for 480 yen. The pudding was firm and satisfying. Photo taken with Nikon Z7II and Nikkor-S Auto 55mm f1.2, as well as iPhone 12 mini.

This is a classic old-fashioned pudding a la mode. In the center, there is pudding with fruits, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream. The taste is orthodox and retro. I actually love the atmosphere of retro cafes, which makes the food taste even better. The pudding is firm! I was impressed because I like firm pudding. I want to visit again next time and take my time!

Yesterday, during my lunch break, I visited a longstanding coffee shop located in front of Shinbashi Station, celebrating its 56th year of history. The specialty of this place is their retro homemade meat sauce spaghetti. When I arrived at 12:43, it was already the latter half of lunchtime, with only one table available. I ordered the spaghetti and within 4 minutes, the lunch set salad arrived. Unfortunately, the salad had mayonnaise on it, which I can't eat, so I had to decline it. After a 9-minute wait, the famous meat sauce spaghetti was served. The pasta was topped with a paste-like meat sauce, featuring a unique flavor resembling celery more than the abundant onions. The presence of minced meat was lighter than expected, with a perfect harmony of sweetness from the onions and acidity from the tomatoes. The composition was orthodox, but the flavors were perfectly balanced. The thick noodles were cooked to a soft texture, with a chewy resilience that was delightful. The noodles seemed to be stir-fried in a flavorless vegetable oil, as there was no hint of animal fat. Mixing the noodles with the meat sauce enhanced the rich flavor, creating a satisfying experience. After finishing the meal, I enjoyed the hot coffee provided with the set before leaving. Overall, the experience showcased the expertise of a longstanding establishment that has perfected its balance without changing its traditional structure. If I have the chance to visit again, I would like to try the rumored "hard type" custard pudding next time. Thank you for the meal.

I was able to get in right away when I went at 7:00 PM. As soon as I entered the shop, I felt a nostalgic atmosphere as if I had traveled back in time to a retro cafe. I went alone and felt a bit nervous, but the staff welcomed me kindly. The "Pudding Royale" for 830 yen was delicious, with a firm pudding topped with plenty of fruits, making it a satisfying dessert. I also got excited to see the apple shaped like a rabbit, even as an adult. The caramel on the pudding had a slightly bitter taste, which was just right. The other menu items looked delicious too, so I would like to visit again to experience the Showa retro ambiance with all my senses.

Near Shinbashi Station, there is a retro coffee shop located in a nostalgic underground restaurant alley! It was a weekday evening, but the place was almost full of customers - elderly ladies, salarymen, young girls, and more. I ordered the "Pudding Royal" for 820 yen, which is different from the Pudding a la mode in that it does not come with ice cream. Due to the near full capacity, the service was a bit slow. Customers who came later were told that items other than drinks would take longer. The Pudding Royal was served with fruits around the edges, whipped cream, and a pudding in the center - a look unique to retro coffee shops! The pudding was very firm, similar to the small puddings you would buy at a candy store. The fruits seemed to be mostly from a can, and the whipped cream was likely from a commercial source, so the quality wasn't the best. However, for some reason, it felt nostalgic and I ended up finishing it all. The dim lighting inside added to the atmosphere. I would like to come back next time for lunch! ☺︎

I don't know the details well, but I heard a rumor that the Shimbashi Station Building redevelopment project may cause the disappearance of a certain shop. With a sense of urgency, I hurried to Kimuraya, a retro Showa-style cafe, for the first time in 20 years. Luckily, it wasn't too crowded with pure coffee shop fans like the Stone Yurakucho Building store I visited last time, so I was able to enter without waiting. As soon as I entered, the staff's words made me wide-eyed and stunned. The staff mentioned that there were many orders and if it wasn't coffee or tea, it would take about 40 minutes. Since I had come this far for Kimuraya, I agreed. I was led to a table for four as there were no other available seats. While waiting for about 40 minutes, I thought the item that would take the longest to prepare would be hotcakes or spaghetti, so I opted for the pudding a la mode. I wondered if it was a strange choice for lunch… pudding? The reserved table signs on several tables seemed like a strategy to handle orders efficiently because they couldn't handle too many orders at once. I remembered that Kimuraya was a family-run business, but on this Saturday, there were no women present, and each cooking and serving task was handled by one man. In the end, the pudding arrived in about 20 minutes. In between moments of idleness, the coffee was brought to the table just before the pudding was ready, which was a thoughtful gesture. The pudding was firm, truly Showa-style, with visible specks of vanilla beans. The balance of real ice cream, fruit, and whipped cream was perfect. The atmosphere was that of an oasis for lunch in the basement of a business district building, with a nostalgic air, smells, and views, making it a traditional coffee shop for those working nearby.

It was a retro cafe with a Showa era vibe. I ordered the pudding a la mode for 900 yen and coffee for 440 yen. The pudding a la mode had a lot of fruits and I enjoyed the ice cream. Since I wasn't very hungry, I didn't try the spaghetti or other food items, but I would like to order them next time I come.

A Showa-style coffee shop located underground in Shinbashi. If it weren't for Tabelog, I probably wouldn't have ventured down to the cool basement of the building in Shinbashi. It's a bit intimidating if you're just passing by and don't work around here or know the area well. Even on a weekday afternoon, it's a haven for salarymen. There were men enjoying their delicious-looking Napolitan dishes and others leisurely sipping their coffee in the nostalgic, laid-back atmosphere of the shop. I visited for their soda, and it was just as I remembered - that color, so bad for you but so tempting. The ice and carbonation were just right. A slightly sweet, adult drink in a relaxed setting. I savored my adult soda slowly in the cozy shop. Thank you for the meal.

An old-fashioned coffee shop. I wonder if my parents used to meet up at places like this when they were young. I really wanted to eat Napolitan today, so as soon as I sat down, I ordered Napolitan and iced coffee. The medium-thick noodles and ketchup were well mixed and delicious. The sliced boiled egg also added a nice flavor. I arrived for a late lunch after 3 PM, and the place was quite crowded. The person who came in after me was told, "Your meal might take a while to be served." It's nice to see the restaurant bustling with customers. Despite being busy, the staff's service was polite and wonderful. Thank you for the meal.

This is a retro-style café in Yurakucho that I visited to kill time before a meeting. Although I usually choose cafes with charging outlets when using my laptop, as a lover of retro aesthetics, I couldn't resist the charm of this café's exterior, interior, and overall atmosphere. Upon entering, I felt like ordering the shrimp pilaf and a mixed juice that I don't typically go for. The café is small, with a tiny kitchen where you can hear and smell the food being prepared from your seat. The shrimp pilaf had a moderate portion size with shrimp, carrots, and green peppers, seasoned with a peppery flavor that was different from the usual buttery style. The mixed juice was freshly made in a blender after ordering, giving off a fragrance and sweetness of bananas and citrus fruits. The café must keep a stock of fresh fruits to achieve such a refreshing taste. Although the pudding à la mode looked tempting, I might end up coming back again soon since it's conveniently located near the station.

After enjoying a Western-style lunch, I moved to the other side of the station for a slightly early dessert. The lunchtime rush seemed to have subsided as I smoothly entered the shop. I ordered the "Pudding a la Mode" for ¥900 and the "Butter Toast" for ¥300, which I had been looking forward to. First, I enjoyed the toast as an appetizer... it was crispy and delicious! And then... the pudding arrived! It looked luxurious! The taste was reliably delicious... but I forgot to recreate the toast arrangement from the manga completely... what a shame.

I visited Parlor Kimuraya, an oasis for salarymen in Shinbashi. They offer morning service and are open until 10pm. The food menu is extensive, but on this day I had iced coffee and rich pudding. The pudding had a rich, adult flavor that I personally enjoyed. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

In front of Shinbashi Station, there are two THE Showa Buildings. The Shinbashi Ekimae Building, completed in August 1966 at the Shiodome exit. The New Shinbashi Building, completed in February 1971 at the Karasumori exit. Both buildings are scheduled for demolition due to station redevelopment and aging, but no specific plans have been announced yet, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Enjoy it while you can! I explored both the New Shinbashi Building and the Shinbashi Ekimae Building alone and ended up at "Parlor Kimuraya". Established in 1967, it has been a part of the history along with the Shinbashi Ekimae Building. If the buildings are demolished, it will mark the end of their era. The exterior and interior of the building are delightful. The service was also good. I sat on the classic red and white two-tone synthetic leather chairs and ordered: - American coffee for 460 yen - Hotcakes for 540 yen I was pleased that they served the coffee at the perfect temperature. Some places serve scalding hot coffee, but I prefer it at the right drinking temperature. The hotcakes were simple and satisfying, just the way I like it. It was a traditional and delicious treat. The fact that this place has maintained its quality for 56 years is commendable. The old-style receipt with the menu name printed on it and the phone number on the back, along with a thank you message, added to the nostalgic atmosphere. The tropical fish tank and the large ship model in the restaurant were also charming. If they played Showa-era songs instead of J-pop, it would have been perfect. The total bill was 1000 yen for a memorable experience at this retro Showa coffee shop. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
