No. 18 in the world · November 2026
Café de l'Ambre
No. 18The one cup to order
The Blanc et Noir Reine des Ambres: aged coffee, chilled, with a float of milk, served in a coupe; or any aged single origin dripped through flannel
A Ginza kissaten since 1948 that serves beans aged for years and drips every cup through cloth. Coffee only, and nothing like anywhere else.
Make it at home
Kissaten hand drip: the slow, dark Tokyo cup
8 min · 1 cup (about 150 ml). The cup of Tokyo's old coffee houses like Café de l'Ambre and Kayaba: darker roasts, a flannel or paper drip poured a few drops at a time, and a thick, sweet, round cup served in fine china.
