Learn Japanese in Tokyo — polite Japanese in a Shōwa-era kissaten
Join the waitlist
Conversation first — the flashcards write themselves.
Tokyo Japanese runs on register: the です・ます you give, the keigo you receive, the いらっしゃいませ that opens every door. Kenji's fifty-year-old kissaten teaches politeness as a living system — ordering, paying, being welcomed back — with furigana and romaji support built in.
