While out for a stroll in Ginza, he found a portal that seemed to take him not just to another place, but another time…twice.
Ginza
This Ginza cafe treats its coffee like fine wine, so we sent Mr. Sato to sample a vintage.
Mr. Sato once again fails to secure a cheap meal, continues to win at lunch thanks to two gourmet ingredients.
Threatening to cut people up with a knife is not the best way to go about airing frustrations.

Served in a traditional wooden box, this unusual green tea creation is one of the most sought-after sweets in Tokyo.
Japan has plenty of awesome Kit Kats, but we just ate what might be the craziest one of all.
The unusual sweet is one of several new treats only available at a special Kit Kat Chocolatory store in Tokyo.
Starbucks and coffee nuts alike shouldn’t miss out on this unique, luxurious method of coffee preparation.
A cake so light it’s served in a floating balloon? Guess how you’re supposed to get the cake out. (Hint: it involves something sharp!)
Numbers alone can be hard to visualize, but this makes things terrifyingly easy to understand.
Good news for Kit Kat fans! Not only is a new Kit Kat specialty store set to open, it’ll be giving away sushi Kit Kats!
Once again, our Japanese-language reporters ride along a razor-thin line of reasoning and derail right into a valuable life lesson.
Former Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr had a whirlwind afternoon in Tokyo yesterday, stopping by the Swarovski store in Ginza and leaving her mark outside the Sony Building.
Kabuki is a traditional Japanese performing art that has been enjoyed by the masses since the 17th century and is known for its unique make-up as well as its distinct, exaggerated poses and expressions. Kabuki is performed exclusively by male actors, and some of the more famous ones enjoy celebrity status in Japan, appearing in movies, TV dramas and commercials.
So, while it’s not nearly as big an attraction in this day of 4-D movies and theme parks as it used to be in the Edo Period, kabuki is still an established entertainment genre. And the Kabukiza Theater in Tokyo’s Ginza district, which was newly rebuilt in 2013, is still a mecca for kabuki fans. Today, one of the reporters from our Japanese sister site Pouch introduces the Tully’s Coffee shop located in the Kabukiza Theater for a look at a modern cafe that serves a menu item with a kabuki twist!
Remember that time you spotted that cute guy/girl at the cafe? Remember how badly you wanted to go over to them, make a witty comment, sit down and have them laugh and gaze into your eyes? And remember how they left before you actually did anything?
Well no longer! Aiseki Cafe in Ginza has the answer. When you come in you’re shown to a table with only two seats: one for a man and one for a woman. You chat, flirt, sip coffee and eat cakes, and then after 30 minutes you get rotated to the next person to repeat the process until you’ve found someone to make the sacred connection with: sharing your cell number.
Oh, and if you’re a woman, great news! You get unlimited coffee and cake for only 500 yen, one-fifth of the price for men. Cha-ching!
