A comfortable little outfit for the Peppermint Fox anniversary tea party … unfortunately I was looking a little ragged by the end of the evening, but I had a wonderful time!

picnic outfit with glowing net … It was a long hike so I changed shoes halfway to save my ankles.

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: クリームソーダ (cream soda)
After coffee and tea, my most ordered kissa menu item is the cream soda, short for ice-cream soda, a popular showa drink that’s having a comeback right now, even outside of the kissa world. It is normally made of melon soda and vanilla ice-cream (sometimes topped by a cherry), but there are some variations (like blue Hawaii float, orange soda float, coke float, etc.). However, if the menu says クリームソーダ without any specification, it will be a melon soda float. Most kissa make their own soda from sparkling water and syrup.
It is said that Shiseido Parlor in Ginza is the first one who has served cream soda in Japan. Cream soda comes from the U.S., and was patented in 1865. However, that version included egg whites, not ice-cream. The ice-cream float (which is closer to Japan’s cream soda) was also invented in the U.S., but in 1874.
I sadly do not own any bright lime - or melon - green piece, so I made do with a bright mint dress.

Kissa menu series: 玉子サンド (egg sandwich)
There are two main types: the tamagoyaki type (my favourite, but it can be a miss if it’s too wet and turns the bread to mush) and the egg salad type. I also prefer when it includes cucumbers for freshness. It’s definitely the food menu item I order the most because it’s simple and fits well with everything. Plus, it’s generally smaller and easier to digest than other meals.
Another classic menu item is the mixed sandwich (this outfit could represent it as well), which normally includes an egg sandwich, a ham sandwich and a veggie sandwich (served in separate sandwiches or mixed together).
