A nostalgic gem serving up hearty sandwiches, pasta, and delightful sweet treats, all wrapped in kitschy retro vibes and local favorites.
"American is a particularly gaudy example of a jun kissa, an endangered style of old-school coffee shop. The kitschy, mid-century decor and thick, rich pancakes draw dedicated regulars and tourists. Other classics, like the fruit sandwich and coffee jelly, have all but disappeared in modern Japan, but still feature proudly on the menu of this postwar relic." - La Carmina, Michael Sosnick
