Maid Cafe Opens In Thailand Date: 1/12/2007 |
The long established maid cafe Pinafore, Akihabara site of the Densha Otoko drama has opened a branch in Thailand. President Eiji Miyazaki decided to open the branch because one had not been establushed there yet. He mentioned the growing popularity of Japanese otaku culture and was aware of a Thai cosplay event that gathered tens of thousands of people. The styling of the shop mimics the Japanese style down to the clothing and language. Maids greet visitors in Tagalog "Husband Welcome Home". The menu also differs in that it lists Thai cuisine. |
