Little TGV

Located in Akihabara, a district in Tokyo once famed for its electronics, and now better known as a place that caters to anime and manga fans, Little TGV is a cross between a maid café and a kind of railway themed izakaya (Japanese-style pub). In addition to exhibits such as a model railway and a television showing railway videos, you’ll also find hard-working female staff dressed in railway cosplay uniforms. Each of the drinks on offer here carries a special railway related name, such as ‘Ginza Line’ (cassis orange) and ‘Hanzomon Line’ (violet fizz). Additionally, the restaurant also offers a number of train-themed special services, including one in which a member of staff will write any station name that a customer who orders omuraisu (omelet with rice) requests, using tomato ketchup. At first blush, you might be thinking that this is probably a café popular only with male customers however, the café does in fact, also draw a fair share of female clientele.
