Fusion of Smoke and Flavor: Akihabara’s First Shisha Maid Cafe
“AKIBA Smokers,” which brings a new breeze to Akihabara, is a novel concept cafe where you can enjoy shisha with maids.

Shisha, also known as hookah, is entirely different from regular cigarettes, featuring cool smoke filtered through water and a sweet aroma.

At the counter seats, you can watch the maids preparing the shisha up close, and you will surely be captivated by the bewitching display of smoke.
There are also comfortable sofa seats where you can relax and enjoy your shisha.
The smoke drifting throughout the cafe enhances the mystical ambiance.
Art of Smoke Created by Artisan Maids
The greatest charm of AKIBA Smokers is the service provided by the artisan maids who are well-versed in shisha.
They are not just ordinary maids but shisha experts, handling everything from selecting flavors and blending to preparing the shisha (adjusting the taste of the shisha).
Watching the maids exhale smoke magnificently is a spectacular experience in itself.
For shisha beginners, the maids kindly teach tips on how to enjoy it, so you can challenge it with confidence.
They also offer suggestions for flavors and blends according to your mood, helping you find your favorite taste.
