Go Tokyo Your Experience
Recently, a heated discussion about “butler cafes” has taken place on Japan’s social platforms. These cafes are characterized by staff dressed in butler attire, serving customers in a noble-like manner. However, it is puzzling that some guests, and even some butlers, seem to view this service as merely a role-playing activity, that is “COSPLAY”.
In fact, the true appeal of these cafes lies in creating a unique worldview. Many netizens who are fond of “butler cafes” have shared their experiences of being impressed by this atmosphere and have called for more people to personally experience its charm.
Recently, a post about the butler café sparked heated discussions online.
Trending: Butler Café
The message conveyed by this post is that some waiters in the café seem to not truly understand their role in the coffee shop.
A Japanese netizen shared her friend’s experience, stating that her friend was asked what she did during her holiday while at the butler café, which left her baffled, as she believed a true butler should be able to provide customers with an immersive worldview experience during the conversation.
This statement resonated with many fans of butler cafes. They expressed that being a butler is not just about putting on butler attire and simply addressing customers as “my lady.” Instead, it is about immersing the customers, especially first-time visitors, into this unique worldview, which is the true charm of butler cafes.
Netizens have been sharing their unique experiences at butler cafes. One user mentioned that during her first visit to a butler cafe, the butler engaged her in an interesting interaction.
When she expressed her fondness for a dish with olives, the butler humorously replied, “Miss, you used to be afraid to eat olives; you’ve truly grown up. ”
This delicate interaction made her unable to suppress a smile.
Another netizen recalled her experience when the red tea she wanted to order was sold out. The butler cleverly explained, “My lady, I sincerely apologize! The tea that was supposed to be delivered today was delayed due to a carriage being hijacked by mountain bandits.”
This dramatic response has stayed with her ever since.
A netizen also mentioned that when they first went to the butler café, they didn’t know that they could request a refill for the black tea. So they poured the tea themselves and were kindly reminded by the butler, “Miss, you are as free-spirited as ever.”
As a fan of the butler café Chatblanc in Kagurazaka, I highly recommend the butler café ♡
These vivid memories not only showcase the exquisite “acting” of the workers in the butler café but also reveal their strong creativity and service spirit behind the scenes. Being a butler is not merely role-playing; it is a way to create an immersive service experience that makes customers feel as if they are in an aristocratic era through exquisite language and gestures.
