Kissa menu series: レモンスカッシュ (lemon squash)
A surprisingly popular drink in kissaten is the lemon squash. I don’t order it often because I feel it is overpriced for lemon juice and sparkling water (and sometimes a cherry), but I sometimes go for it in summer. I normally order lemon tea (hot or cold), but I thought it might not be such a special thing to feature here, so I went with Mia’s most ordered cold drink (and special request for this series).
I don’t have much to say about it because my research didn’t give me much info except for the recipe and the fact that “squash” is traditionally British and normally refers to concentrated fruit juice (not the mixed version that exists in Japan).
Because of the freshness of the drink, I went for a fresh youthful look, but with an 80s twist.

Kissa menu series: ピザトースト (pizza toast)
This is exactly what it sounds like: tomato sauce, veggies (often green peppers and onions, sometimes corn), sometimes meat, and cheese on a toast. It is said that kissa Benisica in Ginza (see reblog) is the first one to have done it, but it’s a pretty simple concept most of us have already done at home, so I would take that with a grain of salt (or a few drops of Tabasco in true yoshoku style).
A kissaten’s specialty is the very thick slice of shokupan – the very soft milk bread used for toast in Japan – more than the toppings, which varies from a kissa to another.
