I heard there’s an interesting concept café in Nakano lately. Do you know about it? It’s called “Miko Bar,” and it’s a café themed around shrine maidens!
A shrine maiden café? That sounds so cool! Do they serve you dressed as shrine maidens?
Apparently, yes! They even have a Shinto altar inside, and they serve a variety of sake and shochu. It sounds like a calm, Japanese-style place where you can really relax.
A Shinto altar too? That’s pretty authentic! And with sake, it sounds perfect for anyone who enjoys Japanese drinks. Let’s go this weekend!
