There was a cafe Paulista "Ningyocho-dori" shop

In 1909 (1909), "Cafe Paulista" was opened in Kyobashi Minaminabecho (Ginza 6-chome). After that, the store opened in Marunouchi, Kanda, and Asakusa, and opened on Ningyocho-dori in 1913 (1913). From the Horidomecho intersection toward Kodemmacho, there was "Cafe Paulista Ningyocho-dori" on the fourth west side. The height of the building is about 10m and the capacity is 40 to 50 people. It is a shard shop with an "automatic organ" that sounds when you put in a bronze coin, 5 yen (current value: ¥ 750). A beautiful boy with a red face (male boy) has brought food and drinks. I'm not a woman's salary.

Note:　The price of mori and money at that time was converted from 3 yen, and the price of public baths was converted from 3 yen for adults (currently ¥ 460).

The menu of the early Taisho era is as follows:

Lemon pie　　　　10 yen = ¥1,500 -

Apple pie 10 yen = ￥1,500 -

Pudding　　　　　　15 yen = ¥2,300 -

・・・・・・・

20 yen (with bread) = ￥3,000 -

Curry rice　　　　15 yen = ¥2,300 -

It's expensive, isn't it? The building was burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake, but it was rebuilt immediately and opened until 1942.

Many cafes (emerging cafes) were made in Ningyocho.

There was a lot of cafes (new cafes) in Ningyocho. There was a cafe Paulista "Ningyocho-dori" shop.

At that time, there were the following two types of coffee shops.

①　Jun Cafe:　Give a coffee and listen to music from the electric storage

②　Emerging cafe (Cafe):　A coffee shop where women serve tea and rice crackers. → Sake and beer are served, and meals are procured from nearby stores.

From this definition, "Cafe Paulista" means "pure cafe".

Emerging cafes appeared on alleys on both sides across Ningyocho-dori, and it seems that there were more than 80 houses around 1935 during its heyday. The store opens at 10:00 a.m., and during the day, there are 15 yen (¥2,300), 60 yen (¥9,000) with beer tidbits, and 45 yen with sake tidbits (¥7,000).

There are 4 to 5 women in each store, and it seems that they served with their favorite kimono or dress. The attached cut-out picture shows the cafes from 1953 to 1946.
