Greek coffee (maybe turkish)

Does anyone know where I can find greek coffee in the kanto area? Turkish coffee is also the same thing i think. I've found Turkish once, but I stumbled on it and can't recall where in Tokyo I had it.

    The fortune-reading seems optional but perhaps you can get a nice cup of Turkish coffee here? https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/restaurants/arashis-coffee-bar

    Isn't it a method of making coffee rather than a coffee in itself iykwim? Also called Arabic or Cypriot or Bosnian. Supposedly its original name is Turkish and only started being called Greek in 1974! If you can't find the coffee, maybe you could try the method, from a coffee website: "It is made by boiling finely ground coffee in copper cezve, typically sweetened, and served in a demitasse"

    If you're going to Tokyo anytime soon, Mosque Coffee in the Shimokitazawa area has Turkish coffee: http://mosquecoffee.com/second/second.html

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?
