Get yummy! Moe Moe Kyun!
First, the color of this soup is super pink... I wonder what this tastes like.
Guys I am in Akihabara now!
When you think of Akihabara you think...
Manga! Anime! Maid cafes!
The maid cafe we go to today is...
known for having very PINK items on their menu.
This sounds interesting!
Let's go and ASK them more about pink! Let's go.
Today we have come to visit a special maid cafe in Akihabara.
It has become really popular especially with international visitors.
It's called Akiba Zettai Ryouiki, which means the absolute territory
between socks and skirt. Also called the divine inch in English.
Hello, a table for one, yes?
Let's take you to your table.
We have one guest!
Thank you so much!
Hello my name is Karin. Nice to meet you.
NICE TO MEET YOU!!!
I want to explain our menu to you.
But let me first tell you about us maids.
The truth is... we are all cats!
When we were still stray cats, humans came and helped us.
So we could return the favor, the cat god made this maid cafe here in Akihabara.
We have gotten a human shape and we can serve humans here.
Lady Cathy, please feel free to add these cat ears and transform into a cat.
I am Cathy Cat so this is perfect.
Let me do this then.
Here we go. Nya nya.
- How is that? - You look cute. It suits you.
Thank you :3
This is our pink strawberry milk on which we draw pictures.
What shall I draw for you?
I am Cathy Cat, everyone here is a cat so... let's go for a Cat.
Alright.
It's becoming a cat! Having a cute maid drawing it for me... I am kind of nervous...
Thank you for waiting.
Get yummy! Moe Moe Kyun.
Thank you so much.
Enjoy your drink before the cat runs off.
Before the cat runs off? - Yes.
It tastes so sweet of strawberries and kind of pink.
I feel like I had a magical potion and turned even more into a cat.
Nya!
The cafe recommended me a pink item on their menu,
The moe moe pink ramen.
Let's find out what that is all about.
Thanks for waiting. Here is our pink ramen dish.
The flavor is tonkotsu, pork.
But it's still pink? - Yes it's turned pink with magic.
Get yummy! Moe Moe Nyan Nyan.
Thank you.
First of all the color of this soup is super pink and I wonder what it will taste like.
Let's eat.
Wow this is good.
It's super creamy.
Yummy!
The soup is nice and rich.
Let's try the noodles.
This is so tasty!
The noodles have soaked up the pork flavor. It's good.
This kind of makes me happy now.
In general, you don't see Lolita fashion girls eat ramen.
But hey, if the ramen is pink, maybe it's ok.
Very cute girly ramen.
I was first wondering what pink ramen would really taste like.
But it's actually really delicious, and still it's pink.
But why is there such a boom around that color in Japan?
Since the girls there are sweeter than sugar, it made me wonder,
what the color pink meant to the maid cafe girls.
So I went to ask them.
What does the color pink mean to you?
It's a color I love a lot.
It's like my image color.
It expresses a very girly side of us.
Just by having something pink with me, I feel more motivated.
I become happy.
It's a color like that.
I just realized, your phone is pink and your nails too!
I love pink too much, so I have little items with me all the time.
Before I realized it, my nails were pink.
In my room, my bed is pink, the table is pink too.
And the carpet underneath it all... that is pink too.
My whole room is pink.
My favorite is my toilet.
I made everything pink there too.
All surfaces are pink so it's a really lovely place, I like it.
Even a pink toilet!
I am the opposite. Instead of having everything in pink...
I have pink boxes in which to store my accessories and little items.
Having everything in pink might surprise people.
But having is as accents in the house is what I do.
Pink is a color that expresses "Kawaii" to me.
Girls, will sooner or later encounter that color in their lives.
I think so to. As girl, sooner or later there will be a time when you like the color pink.
Pink expresses the kawaii of Akihabara.
And of Harajuku too! Harajuku has the whole Yume Kawaii fashion idea too.
And that includes using a lot of pink too.
Pink is used a lot in fashion, like in Lolita fashion.
It expresses childlike innocence.
It seems like pink is seen a color that is very feminine.
A color that is cute and makes girls happy.
I enjoyed looking into the cute pink world the maids have created at their cafe
Another spot to put on the list when you visit Japan.
