This is a cafe in Ginza 7-chome that is open until 11 pm. You walk up the stairs to enter the shop. The interior has a nostalgic and calming atmosphere with a dark brown color scheme that gives off a Taisho Roman vibe. I tried the Premium Black Tea Chiffon Cake Set. The chiffon cake batter and whipped cream are both infused with plenty of black tea leaves, so with each bite, you can enjoy the refreshing aroma of black tea. The cake itself is moist and fluffy. I had a wonderful and elegant time enjoying the fragrant cake and black tea.

I ordered Tsubakiya's rice menu for the first time. The sandwich was quite filling with plenty of ingredients. The cheesecake was packed with filling, so just that alone was satisfying. The staff's outfits matched the interior of the restaurant and were very cute.

It was a very hot day, so after lunch, I took a break to cool off. I had an iced coffee. The glass, made of copper or stainless steel, was nice and cold, making the coffee delicious. The air conditioning was also working well, and it was very cool inside.

When it's hot like this, I always feel like taking a break at a café right away. So on this day, I headed to Tsubakiya, located on Hanatsubaki Street in Ginza 7-chome. Tsubakiya is a well-known high-end café chain with branches all over Japan, mainly in department stores in Tokyo. I have been a regular at the Yokohama branch, so I decided to visit the flagship store with confidence. The female staff wore aprons that gave off a Taisho-era romantic vibe, adding to the atmosphere. Since it was hot, I opted for a strawberry syrup shaved ice with white dumplings, which had an elegant taste. Shaved ice from a high-end café like this is a different experience from the cheaper options and doesn't give you a headache. And of course, their iced coffee was top-notch. They use beans selected by a certified international roaster and brew each cup carefully, resulting in a delicious flavor. My child, who doesn't yet appreciate the taste of coffee, enjoyed a refreshing orange juice. After refreshing ourselves, we stepped outside to be greeted by the scorching summer sun, making us want to return to the cool café. It seems like I'll be taking a break from my food blogging activities for a while due to the heat.笑

The majority of customers at this café, which serves iced coffee and shaved ice, are elderly and the atmosphere is elegant. There are separate smoking and non-smoking sections, with non-smoking seating on the second and third floors. The staff seemed a bit short-handed as they had to say "please wait a moment" several times. The iced coffee was delicious and authentic, and the shaved ice was surprisingly good for a café. It's a convenient place for a break in Ginza, despite having stairs.

On this day when I came for a Ginza date, I had lunch at Tsukemen at Tsukemen, bought stationery at Itoya, checked out Mitsukoshi, and found a lovely collaboration T-shirt at the Ginza store of Uniqlo and bought about 5 items for adults. After spending quite a bit of time and energy, I got tired and decided to take a break, so I stopped by Tsubaya. The last time I visited was about 15 years ago, when I was still a novice as a working adult. I came with two friends whom I had known since my hometown days (we all graduated from university and started working as working adults, and at that time, we were all working in the Tokyo area). Looking back, this time I was with my girlfriend. It feels like a long time has passed. Time has passed, but the atmosphere inside the store, which seems to be conscious of Taisho Modern or Showa Modern, has not changed at all. The tea chiffon cake set that I ordered when I last visited is still on the menu, so I couldn't help but order it along with an iced coffee. My girlfriend ordered lemon tea. The cake and coffee that arrived, and their taste, are just as I remembered them from back then. A chiffon cake with cream that carries the scent of tea. A fragrant iced coffee served in a copper cup that doesn't cool down easily. Feeling nostalgic, I realized that the person in front of me now is completely different from back then, but the content of the conversation, the scene of enjoying food and drinks around the table, is not much different from back then. Surely, the girlfriend in front of me now, and the friends who were in front of me back then, are people I get along with, and they probably feel the same way, so the atmosphere that forms there is likely to be similar. Thinking and feeling that way, I spent a relaxing afternoon break on a holiday afternoon that was approaching.

After lunch, I took a break. I climbed the stairs to the second floor from the road. Inside, I went up to the third floor. It was a hot day, but the air conditioning was working well, making the inside of the restaurant pleasant. I had an iced coffee. It was delicious without any bitterness.

Lunch on a day with evening plans. I remembered that I wanted to have a light sandwich, so I decided to visit this place. It's been a while since I last came here. The restaurant is located along Hanatsubaki Street in Ginza 7-chome. You can enter directly into the second-floor store by climbing the stairs from outside. The atmosphere inside is bright, calm, clean, and beautiful. This time, I chose a non-smoking seat. I love both the curry and sandwiches here that I have visited several times before! I intended to have a sandwich this time, but I ended up ordering the salad lunch set. The set includes a salad, bread, a small cup of soup, and coffee or tea for 1450 yen (1650 yen on weekends). I chose toast and tea. The salad was full of fresh vegetables - lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, ham, and eggs! The French dressing was simple. I placed the egg on top of the toast. The ham was moist and had a good quality feel to it. The tea was served in a pot, and the cup was Royal Copenhagen. I was very pleased with the generous amount of tea and the friendly service. If I try the hashed beef rice next time, I will have tried all the lunch menu items. Looking forward to it!

After having lunch at a sushi restaurant, I decided to stop by for some tea. The exterior and interior of the place exude a calming Taisho-era charm. There are also traditional maids serving customers. I really enjoy this kind of atmosphere. I took a seat and ordered a set of cheesecake and coffee (usually around 1500 yen). The smooth cheesecake paired with the bitterness of the well-brewed coffee was very soothing. This cafe is convenient for meetings or just taking a breather. Thank you for the meal.

I finally ended up at this place exhausted from being a tea refugee and decided to go for the cake set. The strawberry shortcake looked delicious in the showcase. The cake was okay, nothing special. The coffee was tasty, but the cup was small. The cost performance was not great. There was a smoking area, and there was a slight smell. That was a disappointing point.

Plat, today's morning stroll was around Ginza. When you exit from Tokyo Metro Ginza Station A2 exit, you will see Chuo Street (Ginza Street) on your left. First, walk straight for a while towards Shinbashi, then turn right before the traffic light at Ginza 7-chome. Enter Hanatsubaki Street and walk a bit past the first crossroads until you see Sugehara Building on your right. Take the stairs in Sugehara Building to the second floor, where I visited "Ginza 7-chome Hanatsubaki Street Tsubakiya Coffee Ginza Main Store" today. Tsubakiya Coffee opened its first store in Ginza, called "Ginza 7-chome Hanatsubaki Street Tsubakiya Coffee Shop," in 1996. I entered the store at 10:50 am on a weekday. As I entered, a female staff member greeted me and guided me to a table by the window on the right side. Looking around the store, I noticed there were two groups of two women, one solo female customer, and one solo male customer, totaling seven customers. I sat at the table and checked the menu. The menu included: - Morning Set: 1,350 yen - Lunch Menu: - Curry - Beef Curry: 1,780 yen - Hayashi Rice: 1,680 yen - Sandwiches - Mixed Sandwich: 1,400 yen - Hot Sandwich: 1,450 yen Feeling a bit hungry, I chose the "Morning Set" and ordered "Toast" and "Tsubakiya Specialty Blend Coffee." The coffee was served after a 10-minute wait. The cup for the "Tsubakiya Specialty Blend Coffee" was from Royal Copenhagen. The coffee had a rich aroma, a slight bitterness, and a lingering taste of richness. After a 3-minute wait, the "Morning Set" was served. It included toast with butter and strawberry jam, as well as a salad with fresh vegetables, egg paste, and ham. I enjoyed the toast with butter and jam, followed by the salad, and finished with the flavorful coffee. Today, I had a delightful experience enjoying the "Morning Set" in the elegant atmosphere inspired by the Taisho era at Tsubakiya Coffee. Thank you for the meal.

We went to "Tsutsuya Coffee Ginza Honten" in Ginza 7-chome Hanatsubaki Street on a Saturday around 3 pm with three people. The restaurant is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and when we went up the stairs, it was crowded as expected for a popular place, so we had to wait for about 5 minutes before being seated in a small spot towards the back of the 2nd floor. The interior of the restaurant exudes a high-quality feel befitting Ginza, with oil paintings adorning the walls. The sophisticated clientele seemed to be enjoying their conversations. The female staff members wore aprons that exuded a Taisho-era romance, and one of them had a tag that read "Rookie Staff," indicating she might be a new employee. I ordered the Deep Roast Coffee for 1,100 yen including tax after looking at the menu. It was indeed a bit pricey for Ginza, but the coffee was meticulously brewed using beans selected by an internationally certified roaster, and it tasted delicious. The serving ware was also elegant, adding to the sense of sophistication. The three of us enjoyed a leisurely conversation for about an hour. "Tsutsuya Coffee Ginza Honten" offers a bright and sophisticated atmosphere where you can enjoy delicious coffee and conversations. Highly recommended!

I had some time before my appointment so I visited this cafe. It is located in a convenient place along the Hanatsubaki Street in Ginza. The chic decorations that give off a Taisho era vibe and the maid uniforms worn by the staff match well. The coffee itself is honestly just average, but you're paying 1100 yen for the atmosphere, I suppose? The interior is generally calm, but if the customers are rowdy, it can get quite noisy. Unfortunately, my visit this time was not so great... The staff do not seem to reprimand customers who are talking loudly, so it's largely dependent on luck. It would be satisfying if the staff could show more consideration, like warning noisy customers, making it a better place.

◇Visit Date: Around 11:00 on a holiday in January ◇Crowdedness: Not crowded ◇Ordering Method, Speed of Service: Verbal, about 10 minutes ◇Taste: "Tsubakiya Special Beef Curry Set" for 1,980 yen The curry has a Taisho-era charm. I thought it would be more about the atmosphere, but it turned out to be an authentic curry. It is simmered with a blend of curry powder unique to the restaurant, along with fruit chutney and coconut milk. The beef belly meat is tender and delicious. ◇Price: Worth the price ◇Customer Service: Good ◇Payment Method: Credit card

I visited around 8:30 pm on a regular day. I like the Ginza store because it is small and cozy compared to other stores! The hayashi rice is much tastier than eating at a regular family restaurant! I was happy to get a generous serving of salad too. It was great that it was not crowded at this time! Thank you for the meal ^_^

Located on the second and third floors of a mixed-use building along Hanatsubaki Street in Ginza 7-chome, this is the main branch of Tsubakiya Coffee Shop. With a grand entrance, a signboard, and stairs leading up, as soon as you open the door, you'll feel like you've stepped into a non-ordinary space reminiscent of the Taisho era, with classical music playing in the background. Waitresses in maid outfits pass by. Time seems to flow leisurely, making the hustle and bustle outside feel like a lie. It might be the first time you've slipped back from Reiwa to the Taisho era. I enjoyed a seasonal limited edition shaved ice (tax included: 1320 yen) in the smoke-free second-floor seating area, in a perfectly chilled interior. I chose the strawberry condensed milk topping (the other option was matcha and sweetened red bean topping), which came with three pieces of mochi. The combination of shaved ice, strawberry pulp and syrup, and condensed milk was perfectly balanced, refreshing, and delicious. The colors were also vibrant. Despite the hot weather, eating shaved ice helped me cool down from the core. It was so delicious! That says it all. July ended safely, and this was a little reward for myself. It was a wonderful moment, and as Schumann's Traumerei played just before leaving, I truly felt glad that I came. This is a place I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal!

On a hot day, I walked around Ginza and took a break here. When it's hot, I tend to gravitate towards shaved ice. They had strawberry and matcha flavors, so I chose the matcha kinako. I ordered it as a set with a drink. The matcha kinako came with chewy white dumplings. I poured plenty of condensed milk over it. The rich and intense adult-like matcha flavor was delicious. I'm not a fan of overly sweet matcha flavors, so this was just right. It was convenient to be seated right away even during snack time on a holiday. Thank you for the meal ♡

After shopping in Ginza, I stopped by here. The place was non-smoking and the underground interior had an old-fashioned feel. Shaved ice feels like a low-calorie treat, so I can enjoy it without feeling guilty. There were two types of shaved ice: matcha and strawberry. I asked for less sweet red bean and more condensed milk, and they generously topped it with condensed milk, which made me happy. Also, the condensed milk was very rich. Thank you for the meal!

Strawberry Shortcake for 1,880 yen. I was looking for a cafe near Ginza Six where I could relax and smoke, and I found Tsuboya Coffee main store. The cafe is divided into two floors, with the cashier on the second floor and the smoking area and restroom on the third floor. I ordered the cake set and chose the Strawberry Shortcake. I usually don't order shortcake (I'm not a fan of cream), but decided to try it after a long time. The cake had a simple taste, with large strawberries, fluffy sponge, and not overly sweet whipped cream that I could enjoy. The aftertaste was light and the presentation was elegant with a clean cut. Although the prices are a bit high, it's a good choice for when you want to relax or need a cafe with a smoking area.

The Ginza main store is a splendid three-story building where you can enjoy plenty of coffee in a calm and lovely atmosphere. If you have room in your stomach, the cake set is a great deal! The latte art featured a tiger this year, which is the zodiac animal. The Wedgwood cup and saucer are simple yet stylish, creating a chic atmosphere.
