Mamma Mia*: Mother Cafe is Open for Business

04/08/08 0708 hours

Back in March I reported on a new offshoot of the maid cafe phenomenon: a Mother Cafe, featuring 19-40+ year old women, which has now opened in Osaka. The Mainichi has an article on the new otaku hot spot, and some of the features a Mother-type maid can offer:

Staff are encouraged to make even the shyest customers feel at ease, and their motherly ministrations extend to hand-feeding anybody who orders a slice of cake.

Asahi Geino notes that regulars will be able to designate their own “mother” to serve them every time they visit at no extra cost, with “moms” instructed to make sure they nag repeat visitors about their lifestyles to make the experience as real as possible. (By Ryann Connell)

I like the concept of a MILF cafe, but I don’t know how much I’d want to pay to get nagged.

Japan Loves OLD WOMEN!

‘Cause 25 is old, old, old! OLD I tell you!

No, seriously, Canned Dogs reports that Mandarake is opening up a new cafe called “Mother,” which will feature women over the age of 25– the company’s first venture into the otaku cafe world, and a pretty cool entry too, if you ask me. For the guys who get fed up with the inane chatter of the 24-and-under set, a chance to enjoy the inane chatter of hot 25+ women!

The cafe’s going to open up in Osaka, and is currently seeking its maids.
