The state of emergency will be announced on January 7, 2021 in Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa, where the spread of the new coronavirus is widespread. For restaurants, a request for shorter business hours until 20:00 is being considered.
The food service industry is expected to be hit hard, but cafes that are trying to survive with original ideas are attracting attention.

“Enjoy food, drinks and music without talking.”
“In order to thoroughly prevent infection, we decided to open the store with[private language prohibited].” “We changed to a business style like the old JAZZ coffee shop that I wanted to try once before. Masu) “
The owner of a privately run cafe “yummy” (Suginami-ku, Tokyo), which is a 1-minute walk from JR Koenji Station, wrote on Facebook on January 5th.
From the 7th, when the state of emergency was declared, the dinner time from 23:00 was shortened to 20:00, and a new business policy, “Prohibition of private language,” was announced.
The reason is to thoroughly control the infection of the new corona.
“The store closes exactly at 20:00. However, it is doubtful that eating and drinking in the store is still good until 20:00. After all, when eating and drinking, the mask is removed, so I just talk.”
“You can come with two people or three people !! You can drink alcohol !! But chatting is prohibited !! After doing this thoroughly, we will open the store during the state of emergency. I will go. “
However, just imposing rules can make the store uncomfortable. Therefore, I decided to incorporate the elements of the nostalgic “jazz cafe”.
“JAZZ flows from a loud speaker at a loud volume. No one speaks and listens to the music. It seems that the old JAZZ cafe was like that.”
“Yummy isn’t originally a jazz shop, so music comes in a variety of genres, but yummy’s proud audio equipment delivers the best sound with unprecedented volume. It’s really great audio. This is exciting !! Enjoy food, drinks and music without talking. “
The store has carefully selected audio equipment such as amplifiers, speakers, record players, and effector boards, and it is a good idea to take advantage of its features.

On Facebook, “I hope everyone’s corona will converge quickly, so that yummy will not be infected, and you and I will not be infected. Thank you for your understanding, cooperation and cooperation! “.

Popular on SNS, the store owner’s thoughts
This effort has received a great deal of attention.
When posts are shared on Twitter, more than 3000 retweets (spread) are collected, “I personally love these challenges,” “I rather want to go,” and “Revived in 2021, a jazz tea culture called” Private language ban. ” I want to go! “
There are many suggestions such as whether the conversation should be done by writing or using a messaging app.
Maki Hane, the owner of the restaurant, told J-CAST News on the 6th, “Under the previous state of emergency, we stopped the in-store business and switched to take-out. This was well received, but we resumed the in-store business. I was relieved that the customers were eating and that there were regulars, so I wanted to emphasize how I could enjoy eating and drinking in the store with peace of mind, so I thought about this idea. ” ..

Although the store has warned people to refrain from wearing masks and talking loudly, the risk of infection could not be eliminated, as the voices of drunk customers became louder. I thought, “I don’t want to disturb the customers who seem to be having fun” and “It’s difficult to be careful”, but “However, the infection has spread so much in Tokyo, and even in such a situation until 20:00 It’s not good, “he said.

“On top of that, I thought there was a way for customers to enjoy it, and from the beginning I was particular about music as the color of the store, so I thought about a business style like a jazz cafe. Even audio-loving customers Because I’m here, I’ve always wanted to hold an event to listen to audio carefully regardless of Corona. “(Mr. Hane)
Since this is the first attempt, the operational aspects such as the ordering method and music volume will be decided through trial and error. Music is selected from genres such as jazz, popular songs, and bossa nova according to the atmosphere at that time.
Business hours after January 7th are lunch time from 11:00 to 16:00, cafe time from 14:00 to 17:00, and dinner time from 17:00 to 20:00.
