I’ll be in Tokyo in a week, then Sapporo and Hakodate right after that. Tokyo is huge so I can easily find cafe spots. What about Sapporo and Hakodate cafes? Does anyone have any recommendations? I love quality coffee. Of course, would rather stay away from chains.

I like to collect small espresso cups and saucers. Demitasse up to cappuccino size, but really the smaller the better. I especially like the thick and weighty styles of the Nuova Point Palermo, Acme Evo Classic, and Ancap Verona porcelain cups.

Will be visiting Tokyo this Summer and looking for shops that have a good assortment of cups in those sizes. Any recommendations for stores or brands? Bonus points if they are made in Japan or perhaps a limited edition run of made in Italy cups.

We’ve been to Tokyo before and have hit up specialty shops like Glitch and Bongen. Prefer the older style cafes like Tricolore, Cafe de L’ambre, and Miyukikan. I was thinking of Loft and Tokyu Hands to start, but really want to dive a little deeper into the shops that would cater to the maniac collectors. Thanks!
