7 Akihabara Shisha/Hookah Bars and Cafes

What is the Magical Country TRIBECA, a con cafe where you can smoke shisha?

This is a cafe and shisha bar that opened in Akihabara in August.
This is a maid cafe where foreigners (immigrants) visiting the magical land can enjoy shisha, drinks, and chatting with wizards.
The interior of the store is slightly dim with downlights, creating a calm atmosphere.
The soft lighting used in pinpoint locations creates a faint, unrealistic feeling of "magic."


It's an all-you-can-drink time-based plan, and you can order a variety of drinks for 2500 yen/30 minutes.
* Cafe time: 14:00-18:00
1500 yen/30 minutes All-you-can-drink soft drinks

When ordering a drink, they will accommodate general requests such as "something easy to drink," "something a little sweet," or "something that looks nice," so you might want to order based on your mood that day.
Also, if you visit during your birthday month, you will receive a gift from the store!
The day I interviewed her was October 13th. My birthday is October 16th.
I was given champagne on my first visit! Is that okay?

cheers!

A shop that can be enjoyed by those new to con cafes and those who have never experienced con cafes.

Now, Tribeca is a place that even those who are new to or have no experience with maid cafes can enjoy.
First of all, what image do those reading this article have of a "con cafe"?
Most people probably imagine something like "the interior of the store, the costumes of the cast, the menu, etc. are all based on a concept," or "you can chat with the cast while enjoying drinks and food."
Of course, that's mostly true, but people who have never been to a maid cafe tend to have the impression that they are overwhelmed by the atmosphere there.

For example, things like spells or charms that you put on drinks...people who aren't used to it might feel embarrassed, right?
However, Tribeca doesn't have any such charms.
This is necessary to switch between concept and reality, but thanks to this, we can recommend it as a first stop even for those who are not yet familiar with con cafes.

By the way, this candle is lit to protect foreigners from the wizard's magical powers.
Apparently, if this candle is not there, the wizard's magic will cause mischief... but what kind of mischief will it cause if it is extinguished?

The lighting in the store, the soft glow of the candles, and the beautiful drinks all combine to create a somewhat extraordinary atmosphere.

Even beginners can easily try shisha. Reasonable prices.

Tribeca says that many people enjoy shisha along with alcohol.
Slowly tilt the glass, blow out the smoke, and enjoy the passing of time...it's a luxurious experience.
Well, since we're here, let's enjoy some shisha.
The shisha at Tribeca isn't the Arabian type you might imagine, smoked using a pipe and container, but a portable type called an electronic shisha.
Although it may be classified as a VAPE, it is a genuine hookah, and one stick can be used for 800 puffs (800 puffs).
There are 5 flavors in total.
It costs 1000 yen per bottle, but some people say that this alone will last them for more than two weeks...

The flavor that comes to mind first is mango ice cream.
The flavor is rich and there's a lot of smoke! You can fully enjoy the "flavor" and "amount of smoke" that are the fun parts of shisha.
What's more, this electronic hookah can be used by minors, so it is also recommended for those who are new to hookah.
Not only is it reasonable, but it also matches the hourly system, as it eliminates the need for steps such as lighting charcoal and mixing flavors.

How to enjoy shisha with TRIBECA

From here, I would like to tell you how to enjoy shisha.
The device we will be using this time is TRIBECA's electronic hookah.

Basically, you just inhale and exhale the smoke, but I think it's quite difficult to get the balance right.
The flavor is strong at first, so you should sip it little by little...
First, inhale slowly, imagining that you are accumulating smoke (water vapor) in your mouth.
Be careful, as you may choke if you inhale the smoke into your lungs all at once.
When smoking hookah, you have to inhale in one go so quickly that you can hear the bubbling sound of the water, but it requires quite a bit of skill as you may become oxygen-deprived or not be able to inhale the smoke if you don't smoke hard enough.
The electronic shisha has a light mouthpiece and produces plenty of smoke.
"Sigh... haa...'
I think that tempo is fine.
After that, try adjusting the strength and length of your puffs to suit your preferences.

Make your shisha cafe debut at TRIBECA!

"Authentic shisha seems difficult"
"I want to experience what a con cafe is like."
TRIBECA is the only store that can meet both of these needs at once!
The interior and lighting create a relaxing atmosphere, and as shisha is associated with relaxation, it was the perfect space to spend some time on your own.
There was a wide variety of drinks, you could enjoy well-flavored shisha, and there was also cafe time, so I felt like they had everything you could ask for.
Even in Akihabara, this is a place that is easy to enter and enjoy, especially among the maid cafes where you can experience shisha, so I think it is a place that can be recommended to everyone.
There are also sofa seats, so you can come and spend some time relaxing with friends.
