Types of Japanese cafés

Did you know that in Japan, there exists many different types of cafés? Sure, a café is common anywhere, but Japan’s cafés are a bit... unique, to say the least. There are everything from Mom cafés to Pokémon cafés to Gothic cafés! Much of the word "café". Anyhow, that is what I'll be talking and explaining today; a few types of Japanese cafés!

Pet cafés: Yes, have a cup of tea with different animals. There are cafés with cats, dogs, rabbits, owls and even reptiles. If you're an animal lover, you have to visit one of these places when visiting Japan, where you'll be surrounded by adorable little creatures who you can pet and play around with!

Maid and Butler cafés: These are like cosplay restaurants. Be served by a beautiful waitress dressed like a maid or a handsome butler, waiting for your call and to serve their master. You can feel almost like a princess/prince when visiting one of the other. Why not try it out for a royal experience?


Manga cafés: Ofcourse, in Japan, there has to exist Manga cafés. Here you can just relax with a cup of coffee and a manga, play some games and more. You won´t get bored, there´s always something calming to read, exciting to play and nice to eat or drink.


Vampire cafés: These restaurants are for the ones who search for a bit more spookiness. Very highly decorated places, obviously colour theme is blood red, with vampire waiters making you feel uncomfortable and comfortable at the same time. Ready to become a vampire yourself? I sure am!

That was 4 types of Japanese cafés and restaurants. Have you been in Japan or any other country with these types of cafés and tried one before for fun, curiosity and experience? Which type of café is your favourite?

Please tell me what you think, I'd gladly read about it!

80's J-Pop: Miki Matsubara

Album cover for Miki Matsubara's "Stay With Me". Miki Matsubara , or Suzie Matsubara [as she also went by], was a composer, lyricist and singer from Japan. She was known for her 80's J-Pop love songs, but really became famous after her debut single, " Stay With Me ", was released in November 1979. I'm sure many of you have heard this song, and I'm a fan of this talented woman myself, thus I decided to write about her. Early Life Miki Matsubara was born 28th of November 1959 in Osaka ( Kishiwada ), Japan. She grew up with a father, mother and younger sister in Hiraoka Town . Miki quickly became familiar with jazz music, as her mother was a jazz singer. She started playing piano at an outstandingly young age of 3 and simply embraced music in general, not only jazz but also rock. She went to ordinary schools her whole childhood and was praised as being a great and hardworking student who would enroll into university, but Miki had already dreams of beco...

The Black-Haired Woman: Chiyuki

For this Character of the Week , I chose my favourite female protagonist ever. However, there will be heavy spoilers in this one, so beware if you have not seen the anime Death Parade yet! Her name in the anime is never revealed until the very end, and she has black hair with a tiny white strand on the right side, so she has always been known as The Black-Haired Woman (or, in Japanese, 黒髪の女 [Kurokami no Onna]). To fans, she is sometimes referred to as Onna , which means "woman" in Japanese. Her real name is Chiyuki , though her surname is unknown. The series followed Decim , the main character and the bartender of Quindecim , but the way Decim judges souls changes completely and the story makes a turn when the mysterious woman shows up at the bar. As she has no idea how or why she came there, she became Decim´s assistant at the bar and started helping him with the lost souls that comes frequently to the place, just like the black-haired woman. When you die, you arriv...
