【日本樂散步】喝咖啡,不簡單

 

Chion 1

 

Café 是法文咖啡的意思,之後演變成大家身邊咖啡小吃店的代名詞。 直到到了今天,日本的「Cafe」絕對不是這般單調的小型餐廳!

在日本原本賣咖啡的店叫喫茶店,出售咖啡、茶、三文治和意粉等簡單洋食。在 1911 年明治時代,第一代 Cafe「カフェ」在東京銀座開業。它是愛洋風、追求時尚的知識分子、藝術家、文學家等文人雅士的聚腳點。1923 年關東大地震後及 1945 年日本戰敗後,都有糧食短缺和工作不足的情況,很多寡婦及女性為了生活,都穿起了華麗的和服在賣酒的風俗咖啡店接待客人,以養家餬口。因風氣不好,政府之後就立例管制,劃分了「純喫茶」及「特殊喫茶」的 Cafe。

Chion 2現在賣咖啡的小店有兩種叫法,叫「喫茶店」的是可以吸煙的,已經有一段不短的歷史,多是帶有明治昭和感和浪漫氣氛的小店,賣的多是深煎濃郁的黑咖啡。個性獨特的老闆多會同客人親切交流,絕對是發掘傳奇故事的好地方。但也有超酷的大叔店主,對客人愛理不理。客人多是男性、中高年人士及本地人。

叫「Cafe」的多是禁煙,明亮而帶有現代感的室內設計,也有卡通人物或特定主題的店。飲料種類繁多,變化多端,如奶香拿鐵咖啡latte都有多種味道,還有畫花泡沫咖啡Cappuccino、健康冰沙、季節限定冷熱特飲等。支持者多為女性、年青人或白領。集團式經營的cafe,店員只有商業化的交流,而個體戶 Cafe 店主就會和客人談天說地,還會提供特色美食!

今年便利店也有超香濃且便宜,又真材實料的即磨咖啡推出。為什麼日本Cafe會大受歡迎?因 Cafe 對日本人來說,不只是買到咖啡的地方,而是買飲料後不受騷擾,讓疲勞的客人休息的地方。可以一人静處、閱讀學習、寫作,或者是等人、等車、拍拖,又或者是上網、手機叉電、打遊戲機等有多功能用途的好地方。

有人叫 24 小時營業的 Cafe 作「終電難民」的救世主,它收留錯過最後一班電車而回不了家的露宿者。還有叫貧窮青少年作「網吧 Cafe 難民」,因為他們經濟差或家庭問題而租不起房子居住,只能付平宜費用長期留在網吧的小小空間內。他們除打工時間外,就在那裡吃睡,有些 Cafe 甚至有淋浴設備。

「午休 Cafe」是專門給客人小睡,只需要付上少少錢就可以安心在只收女客、香噴噴的香薰房間休息半小時。「書床 Cafe」是買了書後,可以在書店專設的小床木盒房中安靜地看過夠。喜歡小動物但因各種原因養不了的朋友,可以去有小狗、小貓、貓頭鷹等的「寵物Cafe」一邊與心愛的動物遊玩,一邊享受咖啡。熱愛漫畫的宅男宅女,就可以去「女僕 Cafe」及「俊男執事 Cafe」,過一下作主人或公主的妄想時間,體驗在門口讓僕人歡迎回家,及給人餵食的經驗。還有機械人 Cafe、百年古民屋再生 Cafe、不可說話的看書 Cafe(要交流只能手寫)、手作手飾 Cafe(提供材料工具)、晨運人 Cafe (有儲物及淋浴設施)、單車 Cafe 等等,因應不同人士各式各樣的需要,出現了各種古靈精怪的進化版 Cafe。現代的 Cafe 不只是賣咖啡飲料的單純小吃店,而是賣專業服務的咖啡店,滿足消費者某種所需要的專門店。

城市生活節奏緊湊,工作學習壓力大,房子和公司的空間狹窄⋯⋯每個人都需要一些安靜的空間獨處,需要有私人時間,停下來恢復一下。消費不高的cafe就成了人們短暫的心靈治療休息站。需要時,Cafe 的出現,會給予一刻世外桃源的感覺。隨即就回到沉重的世界繼續奮鬥,明天再來充電,周而復始。而真正的安息是可以在主耶穌裏找到的,祂說:「所有勞苦、背重擔的人,可以到我這裡來!我就使你們得安息。」(馬太福音11:28)又說:「絕不乾渴,直到永遠。不但如此,我給他的水將要在他裡面成為泉源,一直湧流到永恆的生命。」(約翰福音4:14)
