There was a cafe Paulista "Ningyocho-dori St." shop

In 1909 (1909), "Cafe Paulista" was opened in Kyobashi Minaminabe-cho (Ginza 6-chome). After that, it opened in Marunouchi, Kanda and Asakusa, and opened in Ningyocho-dori St. in 1913. From the Hori Tomecho intersection to Kodemmacho, there was "Cafe Paulista Ningyocho-dori St." on the fourth west side. The height of the building is about 10 meters and the capacity is 40 to 50 people. 5 yen (¥750 at present value) It is a splendid store, such as an "automatic organ" that sounds when a white copper coin is inserted. A beautiful red-faced boy (man boy) brought food and drinks. I'm not a woman's salary.

Note:　At that time, the price of Moriya and Kake was converted from 3 yen, and the price of public bath 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 -

・・・・・・・

Cutlet (with bread) 20 yen = ¥3,000-

Curry rice　　　　15 yen = ¥2,300 -

It's expensive. The building was burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake, but it was rebuilt immediately and opened until 1942.

There were many cafes (emerging cafes) in Ningyocho.

There was a lot of cafes (emerging cafes) in Ningyocho Cafe Paulista "Ningyocho-dori St."

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

①　Pure coffee:　Put out coffee and listen to music from the electric acid

②　Emerging Coffee (Cafe):　"Cafe Shop" where female salary serves tea and rice crackers. → Sake and beer are served, and food is procured from a nearby store.

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

Emerging cafes appeared on the alleys on both sides of Ningyocho-dori St., and it seems that there were more than 80 houses around 1935, when it was heyday. The store opens at 10:00 a.m., during the daytime, rice crackers with service, coffee and tea are 15 yen (¥2,300), beer tidbits is 60 yen (¥9,000), and sake tidbits is 45 yen (¥7,000).

It seems that there were 4 to 5 female employees at each store and served with their favorite kimono or dress. The attached cut picture shows the cafes at the time of 1974.
