Kyoto Animation’s Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid S began airing in July, and has amassed legions of fans both in Japan and abroad with its collection of adorable characters and hilarious universe.

 

For this new maid cafe collaboration, Kyoto Animation provided new illustrations of the show’s five main characters: Tohru, Kanna, Elma, Lucoa, and Ilulu. World-famous designer Keita Maruyama designed the staff’s new uniforms, inspired by the characters!

 

Customers who order a special food and drink set during the event period will get a limited-edition placemat. Those who order a character’s drink will receive a coaster featuring that character’s face. The shop will feature various tapestries and visuals from Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid S throughout the space.

 

All goods will be sold at the At Home Cafe Shop Akihabara and the At Home Web Shop. Maids at the cafe will wear one of three special uniforms each day–Tohru, Kanna, and Elma–so guests will want to come back to see them all!

Akihabara’s premiere maid café chain “@home café” announced last month the opening of a permanent maid café themed on Sanrio’s popular character Pompompurin. The café is set to open along Harajuku’s famous Takeshita Street on April 14, 2021.

Infinia, the company that manages Japan’s popular maid cafe @Home Cafe, is launching a new online service to turn the world of @Home into a 3D virtual experience.

 

Virtual @Home Cafe

Virtual @Home Cafe is a paid service that can be accessed via web browser on your smartphone, tablet, or PC. When users first access the website they must register an account. They then create their own avatar where they can change their appearance, name, and various attributes.

When the Masters and Mistresses (the users) return home, they can choose which maid they want to spend time with. Using the service requires the spending of the in-game currency called “@Coin” Coins can be spend to talk with maids, take photos with them, and many other things. The more you use the service, the higher your rank increases which unlocks new functions and bonuses, and you will be even more revered by the maids.

 

3 Convenient Updates to the Maid Cafe Experience

Anonymous communication

By communicating with the maids through your avatar, not only do you not have to show your face, but you are free to change your name, appearance, birthday, hobbies, and so on, so you can become whoever you like in the virtual space. It’s a chance to switch off from the real world for a bit and talk about the things you love by communicating with the maids.

 

Available worldwide

The maid cafe came about in 2001 as one form of cosplay cafe. @Home Cafe is credited as one of the places that evolved the maid cafe to what it is today, turning it into an entertainment experience with singing, dancing, and serving a cute menu. It pursued the enjoyment of communication between people.

 

Virtual @Home Cafe keeps the entertaining elements of the maid cafe experience as they are, but opens the service up to the world, meaning you don’t have to be in Japan to enjoy it. It’s also a chance for people around the world to converse with cute anime-like characters.

 

Enjoy from home

The service also allows the maids to work from home. They will wear headsets and access the service from their tablets, meaning they don’t have to spend time getting ready in their maid uniforms. All their work is done entirely remotely, meaning they can work as maids for anyone no matter where they live.

Virtual @Home Cafe is a chance for people to enjoy an authentic maid cafe experience without having to travel to Akihabara in Tokyo or Osaka. The service is set to launch sometime this summer.

The Osaka branch of @home cafe—a chain of maid cafes that originated in Akihabara—is collaborating with Sanrio to serve up a Hello Kitty experience from July 1 for a limited time, with special decorations, food, and exclusive merchandise.

 

@home cafe Akihaabra collaborates with Sanrio characters every year. In 2018, it joined hands with My Melody and Cinnamoroll, and in 2019 with Pompompurin. In January this year, it teamed up with Hello Kitty, who is now heading to the Osaka cafe.

The cafe will be decorated with cute pictures of Hello Kitty and her twin sister Mimmy, as well as pink and yellow gingham designs for each character.

The maids at @home cafe Osaka will also wear special Hello Kitty and Mimmy maid outfits for the duration of the collaboration.

MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON FESTIVAL 2018 in SHIBUYA will take place in Harajuku & Shibuya on Saturday March 24 and Sunday March 25. The festival will take place in 4 main areas. One of them is SHIBUYA CAST which is where we will hold the MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON MARKET where you can enjoy Japanese food while taking in the cherry blossom scenery. Maid café group Maidreamin will also appear at the market. With that in mind, Ren Koseki dropped by the café in Shibuya to see what they’re all about. Maidreamin has recently become popular with female customers too who pop in for the maid experience. Ren had her fill by trying their great food, watched a live performance and got involved in dressing up.

 

Maidreamin offers an experience like no other, taking on the concept of a “dream country littered with ‘moe’ and ‘kawaii’ for all customers who enter.” This is expressed in many ways as expected from a dream country. When you enter the café, it’s said that you’re entering the country. Upon entering, you are greeted, and a ceremony is held to welcome you into the country. When you blow on the candle and it lights up you become a goshuin-sama (master) if you’re male or ojou-sama (lady) if you’re female. Animal ears will ‘sprout’ from the top of your head when you enter the Maidreamin country as you’re given an animal Alice band to wear.

 

 

 

All food and drink items on the menu come with either a Maidreamin ‘omajinai’ service or a drawing performance. Omajinai is when you chant a spell together with a maid to make your meal even tastier. Be sure to try chanting “oishikunaare, moe moe kyun♡” (“abracadabra, become delicious♡”) together with your maid. Those who want even more fun should get the “LOVE Kakuteriimin” (\1,240). A maid will call your name while making a cocktail right in front of you and put on a truly moe performance. It’s recommended for friend groups and work colleagues. Ren ordered strawberry milk. You can order from either a non-alcoholic and alcoholic menu.

 

 

The menu is so plentiful you’ll keep saying “cute” without even thinking. You can of course omurice, a classic maid café dish where you can request a maid to draw something on it, as well as the animal parfait which was just updated at the end of February. It’s proven popular with overseas influencers and girls in Japan for its cute appearance, delicious tasty and amount. Friends get together to each order the Bear (chocolate banana), Cat (vanilla), Dog, (tea), Panda (matcha) and Rabbit (strawberry) parfaits and take a group photo.

 

 

  

This is the \880 “Mori no Kokage no Usa-chan Parfait” (Bunny Under the Forest Bower Parfait). You can get a “Sakura Float” to go with the parfait (\1,100. Comes with the maid omajinai). We really want you to try it!

 

Ren has actually been to Maidreamin before. She had been wanting to try on the maid outfit again, so she transformed into a maid with “Magical Change” (\3,240), a popular original Maidreamin maid outfit that you can wear at the café. Among the maids there are 3 different outfits: “Training,” “Original” and “Dream Outfit”. Only a select few can wear the Dream Outfit. It’s a yearned for uniform whose wearer is known to have gone through the most strict and demanding reception training in the maid café industry. Only famous and successful applicants can wear it.

 

 

After changing into your maid outfit, take a commemorative chekki photo (\800). When taking a photo on stage where the maids perform live you can get a nice photo album and a maid will draw on the photo for you. It will encapsulate your time in the country!

 

 

Maidreamin has many overseas fans, so much so that they received an offer to perform the song for Anime Expo 2017 which is held in Los Angeles every year. If you order from the ‘Live Menu’ you can see them perform live too.

 

Look out for the ♪ badge on maids’ uniforms. This will tell you if they are a maid that performs live and who has a repertoire of over 10 songs they can perform. Shiorin gave an energetic performance for Ren. Those who want to have even more fun with the live show can buy a “Magical Stick” penlight. If you hand over your penlight to a maid that’s off stage, they might even dance otagei for you with the penlight, a type of choreographed dance performed by fans at idol shows! All of the maids at Maidreamin can perform otagei, making it the only maid café where all the maid staff can do it.

 

During the MMN Festival, you can catch popular Maidreamin maids including Dorisu, who gave Ren the welcome ceremony, as well as Hinata and Amo on the live stage at Onden Shrine on Saturday March 24 at 13:30-14:00. Hinata is a member of Moe Kami 8, a group formed by popular members of the maid café. The three of them will perform together with the top 17 maids of maid idol unit QSCS, who have over 450 members.

 

The services below are scheduled for the Maidreamin booth at MMN Festival 2018. Since the maid dress-up time is different from the café’s normal time, this is your chance to enjoy eating a parfait and more while dressed as a maid, something you normally can’t do. This is a must-do for both first timers, regular customers and cosplayers alike.

 

 

A collaborative café of “Kawaii Maid Café & Bar Akiba Zettai Ryoiki,” a maid café in Akihabara and “LiveRevolt,” a multi-dimensional media mix entertainment work, will be opened inside Akiba Zettai Ryoiki from the 10^th of February 2018 to the 4^th of March.

“Liverevolt” is a multi-dimensional media mix content created under the theme of “a media mix content that holds revolutionizing live events” which holds restriction-free live events. The content released 3 singles of each 4 units consisting of 8 members since spring of 2017. It is known as an up-and-coming-content which succeeded the first one-man live held in December.

The collaborative café will sell a “Character Image Cocktail” (1,200 yen) using the motif of each character’s image character and “Collaborative Food Menu Items” using the motif of each unit. Limited collaborative goods using the illustrations of the characters wearing “maid” clothes will be sold too.

 

The interior of Akiba Zettai Ryoiki will be filled with goods and designs of LiveRevolt. The BGM of LiveRevolt will be played and the “maids” of the café might perform/dance on the stage !

Let’s enjoy this limited-time-offer collaborative café in Akihabara.
