Nagoya

In Nagoya, you order one coffee. https://x.com/japan_nobunaga/status/2057010920040341516

Around $3.

A few minutes later

the waiter quietly brings out:

a thick slice of buttered toast,

a hot boiled egg,

sometimes a small salad,

sometimes yogurt.

Free.

This isn't a special deal.

This isn't a tourist trap.

This is just what happens

at hundreds of cafés in this city

between 7 and 11 AM.

Every. Single. Morning.

It started in the 1950s

when one café owner wanted to thank

the textile workers who came in early.

70 years later

a whole city still does it.

You didn't ask for breakfast.

The city already made you one.
