I currently live in Japan and I have never come across a jazz kissa, though Jazz outlets do exist in some multicultural/expat areas they aim themselves for foreign clientele. Also kissa is a rarely used term in my opinion with other slang being preferred outside 漫画喫茶。
- karaokeyoga 4y agoI think jazz cafes and jazz bars are a common thing in parts of Japan, although they’re dying out. I’d say they’re decidedly western thematically, but aimed at a domestic clientele. I believe Haruki Murakami ran a jazz bar before becoming established as a writer.
