"Cafes"
People the world over love to enjoy a cup of coffee in a cafe. Japan is no different.
Cafes first appeared in Japan in the late 19th century, and they have continued to evolve with changes in society. The country currently has 80,000 cafes and consumes more coffee than either France or Italy!
But Japanese cafes don't just serve coffee; many offer a wide range of special themes and extra features - like "cat cafes," where you can enjoy some feline companionship, or "maid cafes," where customers are served and entertained by women in maid outfits.
As Japanese society ages, "community cafes" are becoming a vital way for older citizens to find good company.
On this edition of BEGIN Japanology, we look at cafes. In Japan, they are more than just a place to have a cup of coffee; they are a unique and fascinating world in their own right.

Very interesting program about Japanese cafes.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I watch Begin Japanology I learn something new about Japan.
Presenter Peter Barakan also hosts an excellent radio show called Barakan Morning on the InterFM radio station.
My favourite show! Thank you
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it. I love Japanese cafes.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry if you've addressed this, but have you stopped posting these on d-addicts? I thought posting them there was a great service since mediafire may not last forever.
Yes I've stopped posting on d-addicts. I can continue posting but I can't seed, so if anyone wants to volunteer as a seed, something could be worked out.
