It is! I thought it sounded serious because of the Sengoku theme, but apparently, it’s a cosplay cafe bar with staff dressed up in traditional Japanese outfits, as well as anime and game character costumes. Every day is a cosplay day, so there’s always something fresh to see!

The staff were so friendly and easy to talk to! We got into discussions about cosplay and anime, and we ended up staying longer than planned.
