New menu items such as “Unicorn Parfait” are now on sale at the maid café – “Akiba Zettai Ryoiki” in Akihabara
aku Res “Akiba Zettai Ryoiki” is a “maid café” located on the main street (eight minutes on foot from JR Akihabara Station/JR Ochanomizu Station). Although the restaurant opened in February of this year, it has already achieved first place (*) on “TripAvisor’s” Chiyod taurant ranking (out of 6,428 restaurants). (*this announcement was made on the 1st of October 2017).
“Akiba Zettai Ryoiki” is popular among tourists, not just Japanese people and they have recently renewed their whole menu.
They will offer “photogenic” and “moe moe” (a new Japanese word meaning one is being seduced) menu items such as a parfait created with the image of a “Unicorn” which young female customers love and a “Photo Props Drink” where you can wear a maid costume and take a selfie.
Unicorn parfait (1,026 yen, tax not included) is a photogenic parfait which was created based on the popular motif, unicorn. It is a product which matches the atmosphere of the dreamy and cute interior of the restaurant.
Photo props drink (1,000 yen, tax not included) is a drink where anybody can become a “maid” by sipping the drink with a straw! A head band can be rented for free if you want to become real maid-looking.
Moe Moe Pink Ramen (1,200 yen tax not included) is a pink-colored ramen but it is healthy because it uses natural coloring. Furthermore, they will release many new menu items such as a cat-motif parfait and curry!
If you have no experience of visiting a “maid café,” why don’t you visit “Akiba Zettai Ryoiki” which represents the world of “otaku” × “kawaii?” Female customers are also very welcome!
