RECOCO - Records and Cafe

- Join me on another a another adventure across Tokyo, this time to RECOCO, a charming record-listening cafe in the backstreets of Shibuya. RECOCO offers a unique music-listening experience especially designed for those new to records. This unique cafe (and it's sister cafe RETOPO located just next door), established the kind and generous Atsuya Kawaura, was loosely based on the Korean record-listening cafes that became quite popular in the last couple of years. Opening just on year ago on December 15th, RECOCO has already become a super hit, so much so that Kawaura san already expanded into the bigger space next door. The cafe is staffed with friendly and helpful baristas who can, if needed, guide customers along who might be experiencing vinyl records for the first time! REOCO serves coffees and cake and are known for their absolutely adorable house specialty, the RECOCO Baumkuchen.
No matter if you're with friends checking out records for the first time, or need a nice music-friendly place to get some work done, or perhaps on the perfect date with a "lovely lovely", so long as you love whimsically fun "Only-in-Tokyo" kind of experiences, you'll find something at RECOCO.

Wow what a fantastic idea!! Love this! Thankyou for sharing!
Hi there @marineb7617! Thanks for dropping by the channel and checking out this video! Pretty neat indeed! If you make it to Tokyo (or already happy to be here) you should definitely consider stopping in! Best for now :-)
Amazing! Appears to be non-smoking, which is a nice difference from some of the other listening bars. "Tokyo never stops impressing me." Word! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Definitely non-smoking! I should have stated that more clearly. The ashtrays are simply to denote the table numbers. I think they have something to do with the staff bringing your order to your table and/or the records you have taken out. Yes, Tokyo never stops impressing me. It's remarkable really, even just this morning I was thinking "I love this city so much." I feel very fortunate most of the time to call this place home (it's only when I see pictures of beautiful back yards, or family vacations to the Gran Canyon, or walking out of one's door into a forest that makes me second-guess the city! Happy Holiday's Bryce!
What cool place! Fun to see. Thank you for your time and efforts ✌🏻🎸👍🏻
It's my pleasure! Thank you for sharing that you enjoyed the video! Happy Holidays from Tokyo!
Thank you. ขอบคุณมาก 😊😊
ขอบคุณมาก! ฉันขอขอบคุณที่คุณดูวิดีโอของฉัน! คำทักทายจากโตเกียว!
I was under the impression this type of coffee lounge originated in Japan many years ago specializing in jazz recordings the old masters and new works recorded in Japan Loving it.
Yes, I think you are basically right! I think Japan originated the "Jazz Kissaten" which is a somewhat stuffy old-timers place, where you are meant to kinda be too cool for school. Then that idea got taken to Korea and turned into this "Hey, love music, but don't know anything about records? Think they're cool and retro? Wanna try em out? Welcome to our cafe!" type places, where there were turntables at each table. Then THAT idea is now being brought back to Japan. There might even be a word for it (I think ...but I could be conflating two things) called "Parallel Import" where something is essentially made for local market, updated in a foreign market, then imported back into the original market. Anyway, appreciate the comment. Thanks for dropping by the channel!
Thank you these places are where I found out that three blind mice was not only a song but record label great stuff !
Wow! I just checked out Three Blind Mice Label and I definitely remember seeing the logo and I feel like I've looked up "TMB=xxx" on Discogs before more than once, I might even have one of their records in my collections already, but if I don't, this looks like a great label to know about. Thanks for sharing!
Superb place, it gives young people the chance to enjoy the delights of vinyl.
RIGHT?!?! I think places like this will turn lots of people onto the tactile connection one can have with music, hopefully forging more meaningful appreciation for music, especially in a media landscape where music has so much more to compete with than when we grew up! Best from Tokyo :-)
@@tokyorecordstyle It's a brilliant idea. It's great that young people can experience what we have and listen to physical media.
CHEERS TO THAT!
Awesome. There is also this Tokyo Jazz Joints / Jazz Bar.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Do let me know more details you might know! Best from Tokyo!
I love your Tokyo exploration videos. Great combo of moto blog and record collection.
Awe shucks! Thanks so much @jacgae5208! Appreciate the feedback! It encourages me to make more videos, so be on the look out! Best from Tokyo!
Simply beautiful....America needs a few of these stores
Thanks for watching! Glad you think so! Quite nice indeed! I concur that America needs this! Why don't you be the one to give to to them - it's prime for the taking!
I just stumbled across this video and channel. What a lovely peek into this culture in Tokyo. Thank you for creating such enjoyable and informative content! I subscribed and sure am looking forward to the next video!
Thank you for checking out the video and for the very kind words! I'm happy you enjoy what I'm trying to do and I'm glad and grateful you subscribed! Welcome to Tokyo Record Style!
Whoa! That’s totally cool. I saw the Korean one online and I shouldn’t be surprised that it cropped up in Tokyo. Also, it’s lovely to see all the young people there. And light flicker…ugh, I found it in most of my Japan footage when I got back.
Totally, it's a great place! and yeah, that light flicker is a bit of a bummer. And yes, it's so cool and fascinating to see the younger generation in Japan getting into analog!
Love the vid! I've been interested in this place and wanted to check it out myself. From a Suginami habitant to another, よろしくお願いします。
Thanks for checking it out! Quite cute and nice little place. I went there this weekend with my daughter but it was packed to the gills and we couldn't get in! Very popular! And, WHOA! How cool that you live in Suginami-Ku! Wonderful! If you ever see me out bouncing around, please do say hello! Best for now :-)
Fun video. We need a recoco here in Costa Rica to introduce more folks to vinyl records. I need more jazz vinyl friends here. Hmmmm ... maybe I should open one in my house.
Hello, Costa Rica! You can totally do it! Why not?! If I meet any Jazz-loving or record-loving friends in Costa Rica, I'll point them your way! Thanks for dropping by the channel!
AHHH YES THE ELEMENTS OF THE FORCE OF NATURE KNOWN AS VINYL.....PURE BLISS.
PURE BLISS!!! THE ELEMENTS OF THE FORCE OF NATURE KNOWN AS VINYL!!! LOVE IT!!!
Love this! I can't wait to visit when I go back!
@VinylBrief - Just subbed your channel up - looked really cool! I'm intrigued ;-)
Please look me up when you come back to Tokyo! And let me know where in the world you are so I can look you up when I come there!

Great vlog
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching and leaving a comment!
Very interesting place. Turning youth onto vinyl is a good thing! Happy holidays, my friend.
I concur! More interest in vinyl records helps the industry stay healthy! Happy Holidays to you too, my friend!
@@fitzelectricbar don’t forget cds 💿 also
@ Yes, CD’s too. It’s just that for me vinyl brings more tactile pleasure and even the small act of dropping a tone arm on a piece of plastic evokes a romance that I don’t feel CD’s quite delivers. For me.
@ everyone got there preference as long as people buying physical media 👍👍🤙🤙💿💿
Yes CDs too! We love our CDs too, don't we!
SIDE A....I LOVE YOU JAPAN.
YES!!! I LOVE JAPAN TOO!!!
NO SMOKING...BONUS. AND IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY WARM AND FUZZY SPOT......SALUTE!!!!!! I LOVE VINYL.
WARM, COZY, FUZZY, and NO SMOKING INDEED! SALUTE FROM ME TOO!
Great Idea to sit there with my Pocket Sampler and feed my Sampler with rare Records and enjoy CoffeCo 🙏🌀
Thats a great idea, @MichaMachiene-jd8wd! You should totally do it, and a make us a behind-the-scenes video of your experience! Would be super cool to see :-)

YEZZUR TOKYO, DO THE DAMN THING!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING :-)
That's a really cool place. I definitely want to check Recoco out... glad to see they have tea on the menu as well :) Hey, I have that Niagra Triangle "Vol. 2" :)
@This-Is-Music! Thanks for checking out the video. Glad to hear you dug it! Yes, tea AND a house speciality, Earl Grey Tart! You'll have to determine for yourself on your next visit to Tokyo. Or are you already here? Enjoy! (and be inspired to put on that Niagara Triangle Record, Vol. 2!)
@ Sadly, not in Tokyo... but I listened to the Dirty Looks song called "Tokyo" the other day :D
Wonderful! Well when you make it here, please look me up, and perhaps we can meet up for a coffee and cake here!
Just listened to the song "Tokyo" by the Dirty Looks! What, time machine back to 1984! Fun tune ...and the Dirty Looks sound and look pretty cool! Thanks for sharing :-)

Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment! Season's greetings from Tokyo 🙂
that looks very cool. i have a question about motorcycle parking in Tokyo, is it ok if you leave your bike like that for a while ? i am moving to Tokyo and still unsure where its ok to Park or not :)
Thanks for the question. Motorcycle parking is quite hard, much harder than parking a car. You just gotta burn to memory where all the motorcycle parking spaces are. Google is usually not much however there IS a book you can get that has them all, but they change and get updated each year I think, but the book is usually available at the big parking garages near the government office buildings. I have had the old attendant guys give them to me a couple of times over the years. Don't mean to sound cryptic about it, but you just gotta figure it out, get a few parking tickets learn from your mistakes. You'll get the hang of it.
Is that the Kanda river spot near Takaido? Then you burn it down Inokashira Dori? A new subscriber from Kichijōji 😎
Nice to make your acquaintance. That's right! We're over here between Takaido and Hamadayama. I'm Brian, music lover, creative industry person, and 20 year Tokyo resident. Nice to meet you! Subbed you back!
Reco and co for coffee, no..?
@@AfroZen Astute observation, but not what the owner explained to me. When you visit next you can ask Kawaura san directly and suggest he consider it :-)
TRIPS TO THE WAX SPOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
