Kissa menu series: ミルクセーキ (milkshake)In Japan, there are two types of milkshake: the American one we all know about, made with ice-cream and various flavours, and the retro showa one served in kissa and other older places, weirdly called “French style” even though it’s not French. The latter is made with milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract, and is nowhere as thick as standard milkshake.My friends and I make the distinction between the two by calling them “milkshake” (pronounced in English) and “mirukuseki” (pronounced in Japan). If you go to a junkissa and see ミルクセーキ on the menu, it is definitely the milk+egg version. It also exists in cans (that look really retro) you can buy in drink machines and shops.I feared the colour scheme for mirukuseki and lemon squash would be too similar, so I opted for a creamier yellow and a retro train/flight attendant look to make them completely different.Dress: Pink MuchachaCardigan: Axes Femme (with an added fabric belt)Shoes: John FluevogHeadbow: second-hand Baby, the Stars Shine BrightBag: thriftedGloves: vintageRetro milk bottle earring: Chitose AmeUeno badge: official JR merchPhone cat + swan brooches: various artists -- source link
