Do you ever want to do something super #OnlyInJapan? Well, recently I thought I would go all out and experience the Kawaii Monster Cafe (カワイイ モンスター カフェ) in Harajuku. Kawaii, meaning cute in Japanese, it most certainly is!
As soon as you enter, you’ll be pretty stuck by how colorful everything is. The place was created by the fashion artist behind Japanese pop sensation Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, and it most certainly shows. Just like the popstars image, everything from the waitresses uniforms to the washing basins is super kawaii!
The meals reflect this too. The above is ‘rainbow pasta’, a surprisingly tasty multi-colored pasta with tomato sauce. The super sweet, brightly colored cocktails were also pretty good 🙂
To add to the craziness, every half an hour or so this creature comes out and starts dancing around a huge rotating birthday cake in the center of the cafe, along with his sexy dance assistant! If you go here, be ready to get a little overwhelmed by how crazy it is!
