KOTOBUKIDO

Once I’m done with the shamo chicken hot pot, it’s time for dessert. Here at Kotobukido—a Japanese sweet shop founded in the Meiji era and a true landmark of the Ningyocho neighborhood—they serve tea properly, even when you’re only buying a single piece of yokan. Take the time to enjoy it, even if you’re in a hurry. That’s the true iki—the quiet sophistication—of a Tokyoite.

軍鶏鍋を食べたら、次はデザートの時間。明治時代に創業し、人形町のランドマークとして知られる和菓子屋の壽堂では、たとえ羊羹を一個しか買わなくても、きちんと茶を出してくれる。急いでいる時でも、それをゆっくり楽しむのが真の東京人の「粋」。
