These small cafés/bars are called kissa (kee-sah). Unlike a regular café, the kissa is designed to create an atmosphere allowing for a quiet appreciation of the music while drinks are served as an accompaniment.

For the interested, Chris Broad (Abroad in Japan) interviewed the owner of such an establishment (Basie) located in Ichinoseki: https://youtube.com/watch?v=1-9RMSbl_Uo

I'd definitely like to know where this one is.
Nijo Koya, at 382-3 Mogamicho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto.
That's the subject of the article. Not the other place with Star Wars memorabilia the author parenthetically referred to.
Welp, better one than neither, anyways!

Tavern Pachimon Wars in Osaka seems like it fits the description
Chris Broad is an inspiration.
