At Home Cafe AKIBA Cultures Zone store opens!

It's no exaggeration to say that maid cafes are the most famous in Japan.
"At Home Cafe" opened a new store on Saturday, February 12, 2022!
This is At Home's first new store in Akihabara in four years.
Akihabara otaku who love con cafes, including us, are overjoyed at this news.

Meanwhile, Akihabara Base Camp was able to successfully participate in an interview about the new store!
This time, we will be introducing some rare photos of the interior of the store under renovation, as well as some photos of the Legend Maids, Super Premium Maids, and Premium Maids at the pre-opening.

"Masters and ladies who want to go out and play""Future maids who want to work" is also useful information, so please read to the end!

[New store] At Home AKIBA Cultures ZONE store information

First, check out the location and opening hours of the new store!

The new store is located on the 5th floor of AKIBA Cultures ZONE.
It's a 4-minute walk from the Electric Town exit of Akihabara Station.
Incidentally 1 minute walk from "At Home Cafe Akihabara Main Branch"!
You can also enjoy visiting both the main store and the new store.

Before and after interior of the new At Home Cafe

As mentioned at the beginning, this time we were able to photograph the interior of the store before and during the renovation.
It's not often you get the chance to sneak into a maid cafe before it's completed...!
While you're there, please take a look at the before and after.

Who would have thought that such a wonderful world could be born from an empty space?
You can really feel the efforts of the designers and craftsmen.
I still have a lot of photos to take, but if I were to post them all it would be too long, so I'll save that for another time...
Next, we will introduce the pre-opening!

Participating in the pre-opening of At Home Cafe Inside the store

A pre-opening event was held on February 11, 2022, the day before the new store opened, and was open to reporters and other related parties.
When you get off the elevator and enter the store, you will see a magnificentat-home cafe" will welcome you!
As soon as I reached the fifth floor, my excitement skyrocketed.

There are many bromides displayed in front of the reception desk.
Once you have your favorite maid, you can apparently purchase her here.

This is a machine that can print bromides.

Even if the bromides are sold out, can they be printed immediately?
I don't know how to use it yet, but I can't help but want to try out various things...!

The size of the stage is impressive!
It would be a spectacular show if it was a live performance with a large number of people.

There are about 90 seats available inside the restaurant!
The seats are not too close to each other and there is ample space between the seats.

Experience the service of a premium maid at At Home Cafe

The new store was completed through the efforts of many different people.
What really makes the place shine is the presence of the maids!
During the pre-opening, we also had the opportunity to experience being served by maids.

"Welcome back!'

Many maids will greet you at the entrance!

Well, she has a dazzling moe aura!
If I had such a cute maid at home, I would definitely become a shut-in...

We were immediately guided to our seats by a lively maid.
First, we ordered drinks.
The maid shakes it in front of you in a shaker.Maid's original cocktail. "
This time, the one who gave us the shake was the premium maid "Mizukin-san".

She was cute and a good talker, and even though we were maid cafe novices, she was able to ease our nerves!
We will shake our drinks together with Mizukin while chanting spells.
(By the way, it's more fun to cast aside your shame and recite the spell with all your might.）
This cocktail is fun because you don't know what color it will turn out to be until it's poured!

This time it was a beautiful blue!
I'm sure they were also thinking about how it would look in photos. I'm grateful.

Next is "Achuachu Caramel Latte"When"Aichu Matcha Latte. "
Here, a maid will draw a picture right in front of you.

It's so cute it's a shame to drink it!
Once all the drinks are ready, we and the maids join forces to inject some "moe" into the guests.

"Moe moe! Kyun!"

Just watching her cast the spell made me feel "moe."
This is the power of premium maids...!
The reporters watching from the sidelines couldn't help but smile.

Now, next is the food.
"Moe Moe Pink Curry♥ ~Pyura Rari∞Cure Rari Magic Spell~"
Such a cute menu.
Apparently, the maid's magic turns the brown curry into pink.

The one who appeared to cast the spell was
Legendary maid "Hitomi" and super premium maid "Chimu"!
Wow, how luxurious...

The two of them fixing their bangs before casting the spell is so precious...the embodiment of cuteness...

Once the magic is done, pink curry is ready!
There are many features to entertain masters and ladies in both appearance and performance.
It might be fun to compare the magic of different maids.

The premium maids gathered for the pre-opening.
I thought this was a rare opportunity, so I took a group photo.

It's so cute seeing you sending your love from the stage...

Yes Yes.
In fact, I had the opportunity to meet these maids before the pre-opening.

A prank project held at Ichigo Animation's live broadcast "Passion Conference"

A 30-minute live broadcast by Ichigo Animation that delivers various information about Akihabara.Passion Conference』.
We at Akihabara Base Camp were also there to watch the broadcast.
So, we had a discussion with the maids in advance and came up with a prank plan!

A scene from the Passion Conference.
Why is there a maid there? Why are they taking instax photos?
You can view it in the Passion Conference archives, so be sure to check it out for yourself.

We also have high hopes for the new maids at At Home Cafe!

I wasn't able to meet them this time, but it seems there are many new maids at the new store.
Apparently, the number of applicants for the maid position was enormous, with the odds of success being...more than 10 times higher!
Approximately 400 people attended the maid information session, and of those, around 30 were hired.
Although she is a new recruit, she is a special maid who has passed through a narrow gate that only one in ten people can get into!
AKIBA Cultures Zone store…
I have a feeling this is going to be a huge hit.
Now is the time to become a long-time fan.

We recommend making a reservation in advance when visiting At Home Cafe.

What did you think!
At Home Cafe is known for its excellent interior design and the excellent service of its maids.
When I learn about the worldview of this work again, I feel like I understand why it has become so famous.
The new store is sure to become increasingly popular.
At Home Cafe has something called "At Pass" that can be reserved in advance on their website.
This is recommended for those who want to enter the store without waiting!

Be sure to enjoy this new moe space that has appeared in Akihabara to the fullest.
