The Afternoon Is Long. – Japanese 純喫茶 (Kissaten) Cafe Music | 3 Hours of Autumn Rain

A grey afternoon, rain that has been falling since morning, and three hours with nowhere to be. "Kissaten" (純喫茶) are the old-fashioned Japanese coffee houses of the Showa era — velvet seats, siphon coffee, lace curtains, and nobody rushing you. A plate of spaghetti napolitan with a tiny paper flag in it, coffee jelly with cream, a case of plastic food samples by the door, and a shop cat asleep on the seat back. You may never have been to Japan. Somehow, this place still feels like somewhere you have been before. The shop sits on a narrow back street in Tokyo. The lamp has been on since noon. Lunch is long over, the rain hasn't stopped, and nobody has asked you to leave. Perfect for: • Studying, working, or reading • Cooking and evening chores • Falling asleep • Long grey afternoons All music is original and created for Tokyo Kissaten. Take the window seat. Stay as long as you like. 🎵 Tracklist 0:00 The Rain Settles In 3:25 An Old Tune on the Radio 6:43 Nobody Waiting 10:03 The Newspaper, Folded Twice 13:24 Between Two Showers 16:45 Ice in the Melon Soda 20:05 A Plate of Napolitan 23:26 Two Spoons 26:47 The Long Grey Hour 30:11 After the Lunch Rush 33:31 A Postcard from Somewhere Warm 36:53 Steam on the Glass 40:17 Dusk Comes Early Now 43:37 Back and Forth 46:58 Cold Coffee Jelly 50:20 The Rain Hasn't Stopped 53:38 Last Order
