Vintage-aged coffee spot

Cafe de l'ambre is a historic kissaten in Tokyo's Ginza, a timeless institution founded by Ichiro Sekiguchi in 1948. Renowned for its unique single-origin and aged coffees, each cup is hand-dripped and attentively served amidst sepia-toned Showa décor. Tucked within the SBM Building, the venue evokes a vintage aura with its wooden fixtures and close counter seating.
