15 Popular Maid Cafe in Osaka for Beginners

I have summarized maid cafes in Osaka Nipponbashi, where is “Akihabara in the west”, as a ranking!

I put importance on the viewpoints of those who go to a maid cafe for the first time, the viewpoints which are “Is the store easy to enter?” and “Is the store safe?”

I have described as much as possible both sides of the pros and cons of each store, so please use it also as a pictorial book of maid cafes.

Summary of maid cafes in Osasak

Why Summary is neccessary?

I summarized maid cafes because there are too many stores in Osaka Nipponbashi.

There are more than 50 stores here even not in Akihabara…

It is tough enough even just to enter to a maid cafe, and you cannot choose one if there are so many… 💦

Enjoy Ranking of 15 Selections for Beginners

To cheer a wonderful debut game of beginners of a maid cafe, I, who go often to a maid cafe as my reason to live, have summarized them, by putting all the passion into them.

Although there are more than 50 stores of a maid cafe even in Osaka, there are few stores that are of high quality.

In the beginning, I recommend going to from the high ranked stores safely.

Before Ranking, Let’s Understand 3 Points

Even when you say a maid cafe as a single word, there are many styles…

Depending on what kind of experiences you like to have, you will have to change the selection of the stores.

[For beginners] Entertainment style (Moe moe Kyun and Instax photos)

It is an image of a maid cafe that you may often watch on a TV!

Maid cast a spell to make food more delicious, and there is a cute menu.

There are also many stores where you can watch a live performance by maids.

If you like to shoot Instax photos, the stores of this style are suitable.

The quality of maids is quite different from stores to stores, so it may be better for you to choose the store, bearing that point in your mind.

[For beginners] Classical style (Calm space and tasty English tea)

Changed completely from the Entertainment style, there is no Me-her (means a person of a kind of groupie) elements, such as Moe moe services, in the Classical style.

It is recommended to those who are embarrassed with Moe moe Kyun, and who like to be healed by looking at maids from a distance not by talking with them!

I think that many may feel that it is inferior to the Entertainment style in terms of pleasure as sightseeing.

So, if you value the sightseeing experience like “I went to a maid cafe!”, please go to the Entertainment style.

[For advanced] Girl’s bar style (Wish to talk with a girl while drinking alcohol beverages)

It is a store that, so to say, the stuff of a girl’s bar wears maid costumes.

Because the world view of a maid is less obvious than that of the Entertainment style and the Classical style, you may have the impression that it is just amateur girls wearing maid costumes.

Getting a drink for a girl, and dealing with a girl one on one.

It is recommended to the one who likes enjoying excited with a maid as a girl.

But, there are many stores that girls ask for drinks, and as a result, the charge will become a bit expensive.

So, you should be careful about that.

You are not allowed to make a touch to a girl, so be better not to misunderstand.

Be careful with rip-off stores of any style

The Girl’s bar style is the highest possibility for such an issue, but there are some voices that there are rip-off cases and a case of high-pressure sales of a menu even at famous stores of the Entertainment style.

It is highly recommended to enter the store after selected very carefully!

Now, Introduce Maid Cafes in Ranking

I have summarized a ranking by if a store is that a beginner can be easy to enter and if the quality as sightseeing is high!

 

* The pros and cons that I wrote are only personal impressions.

I have no intention to control intentionally a reputation of the store and to obstacle the sales of the store.

Please think of this only as your reference.

After all, you will not know it if yoｈu do not go there!!
