Silver bra

[Nathaly] April 30, 2013 09:00

"Silver?" It's a word that anyone can now understand, but it's only recently that I knew that the etymology of silver bra is "drinking Brazilian coffee in Ginza". 。

According to my research, drinking Brazilian coffee at Cafe Paulista, the oldest coffee shop in Japan that still exists in Ginza 8-chome, seems to have triggered me to say "silver Bra" ... I actually went there!

The coffee shop is located along Chuo-dori and you can find it right away. It's Ginza 8-chome, near Shimbashi. There was advance information about the oldest existing coffee shop in Japan, so I thought it was a very old and hard to enter, but there is a large round signboard and you can see the inside from outside. There was only Ginza, so I waited a little because it was full. While waiting, I was observing the inside of the store, and there were photos of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. I heard you went to a coffee shop here. After a while, I was taken to a vacant seat. Then, the clerk told me in a shout, "Actually, this is the seat where John Lennon sat," and I was a little excited!

The fully booked coffee shop in Ginza was a calm and calm coffee shop with an atmosphere where you could hear John Lennon's music when you listen while drinking Brazilian coffee, despite some liveliness.

When I made my account on the way home, I got a silver bra certificate.

"You prove today that you enjoyed the silver bra (walking along Ginza Street and going only to Café Paulista for Brazilian coffee)."

I'm glad if you can prove a silver bra (laughs) Also, the back side is a stamp card (laughs).
It's a drink full service with 10 points. When I went to Ginza, I would like to go only for Brazilian coffee again. Everyone, please do a silver bra!
