Have you heard of “Cardia”? It’s been getting some attention lately.
No, this is my first time hearing about it. What kind of place is it?
It’s a concept café in Kabukicho where the staff dress in long maid outfits and take on the role of “liver assassins”.
“Liver assassins”? Sounds like a place where you could drink a lot! Let’s coordinate our schedules and check it out. Challenge accepted!
The World of Long Maids
Located just a 5-minute walk from the east exit of Shinjuku Station, Cardia is a one-of-a-kind concept café & bar. Open from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, the café offers a unique experience where the staff, dressed in classical long maid outfits, portray the intriguing role of “liver assassins.” As evening approaches, the atmosphere transforms, with the staff switching to chic and adorable “Sakamichi-style” costumes to welcome guests.
Cardia is known for its relaxed vibe, allowing guests to forget the bustle of Kabukicho. Many visitors rave about how “time flows gently here.” At 3,000 yen for 60 minutes, the system includes all-you-can-drink options, offering a wide variety of drinks such as beer, shochu, whiskey, and cocktails. Additionally, guests can enjoy unlimited karaoke on the latest DAM system, making it a must-visit for drink and karaoke enthusiasts alike.
A Unique Space to Immerse Yourself
The interior resembles a secret organization’s headquarters, featuring antique-style furniture and wall decorations that look like they contain important information. Every detail is carefully crafted to match the theme. Guests can enjoy their drinks while soaking in the meticulously designed atmosphere.
Cardia also offers its “Soumatou Course,” which includes all-you-can-drink options like beer, shochu, whiskey, cocktails, and plum wine. Coupled with unlimited karaoke on the latest DAM system, it’s an incredible value and perfect for groups looking to have a great time together.

Not just the outfits, but the interior design was so well done! The wall designs and antique-style decorations really set the mood.
The ‘secret hideout’ vibe was so cool! And the staff? They were not just cute but so entertaining and fun to chat with!
