Due to quickly misreading a blackboard style menu, my first thought was that this was called a Tokyo Frog, or Tokyo Snow but I can now confirm that it's an actual Tokyo Fog. Apparently it's a heathly kind of cold coffee kind of a drink. Now I have reached a point in life where, though I am intrigued by all these wonderful, newly emerging beverages, some that seem to arrive from nowhere, I'm not really all that bothered about trying them out. My spirit of adventure has dwindled somewhat. I know what I like and I'll probably stick with that, though I have been swayed a bit in my thinking after trying out a neat wee Cortado or two. I like the dinky cup. Most cafe coffees taste pretty similar to me.
This burst of sporadic stepping out has for some reason been blamed on my interest in the "Rooster" comedy/drama TV show. A character in it, one I don't care for either, has an unhealthy passion for early morning Cortados. The thing is the Cortado isn't really all that different from the other things on the coffee menu. It's just another odd name you need to try to get your tongue around when you're in the queue. You think you have a choice but ... modern life isn't really like that much of the time.
