Comment

Koto was located in Paris, 5 bd Beaumarchais. Extract from an advertisement published in 1912: "In all cafés, each consumer of a glass of Koto must receive a token. 4000 useful, varied gifts are to be chosen from 4 tokens, i.e. from 4 glasses. Gifts are distributed throughout the day at Koto 5 bld Beaumarchais. Free Koto delivery in Paris from 2 liters, with 20 tokens per liter" (source: https://wikicollection.fr/?p=32065).
