Joint French-German meetup in Strasbourg, 11/5
We had tea, climbed the 300+ steps up the cathedral and lived to tell the tale, and closed out with some Alsatian flammkuchen. It was cool getting to meet some French lolitas.

Kissa series menu: 珈琲 (coffee)
Now that we are in the drink section of the menu, let’s start with the most important element of any kissaten: the coffee. Some kissa only have one or two variations of coffee, while some have pages of different grains, blends and brewing methods. The latter tend to call themselves 珈琲店 (coffee shop) more, while still fitting in the kissa category. They also offer much better coffee than standard kissa.
Kissaten coffee is almost never espresso based. Before moving to Japan and going on my kissa hunt, I barely drank any coffee that wasn’t espresso-based, and would normally go for latte or cappuccino. Espresso is a relatively new concept in Japan, so if you go to a 純喫茶 (traditional kissa), coffee will normally be brewed by the hand-drip method or the syphon method. It can be served hot or iced, but ice coffee usually has less choice.
In kissa, but also in any coffee grain shop (I make my own coffee at home every morning), they categorise grain by mildness, roasting level and acidity/bitterness balance. Most people like balanced coffee leaning on bitter, while I am a sour coffee fan (for drip coffee). At home, I normally drink coffee first thing in the morning, so I put cream in it for my poor stomach, but if my stomach is not empty, I prefer drinking my coffee black, like you’ll see on my coffee pictures collection (reblog). Also, beware of the “milk” or “cream” they give you in cafés here, as it is almost always liquid creamer (not cream!). That’s why my outfit is all brown with touches of cream, because I usually do not put it in.

Kissa menu series: ホットケーキ (hotcakes)
Similar to pancakes, hotcakes are fluffier, sweeter and thicker. The kissaten hotcakes are usually the classic showa kind, served with a square of butter (often margarine, sadly) and never enough syrup (not real maple syrup in most cases). It is said that hotcakes were made for the first time in Ueno, during the Taisho period.
If you dare call the hotcakes from kissa Pinocchio “pancakes” (see reblog, picture on left), the master will correct you!
