Black Butler: Boarding School Arc – Midnight Invitation Cafe, until Aug. 18
Midnight Invitation Afternoon Tea (¥7,490) (Photo courtesy of Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler))
Visit the goth-style cafe themed around the TV anime “Black Butler: Boarding School Arc”, currently open in Omotesando. While the menu is based on the series and its characters, the dishes and drinks themselves do not have anime designs on them, so this is a “midnight invitation” for not only fans of the show, but also for people who just like the goth aesthetic. You can enjoy a tiered afternoon tea set for two (which includes small sandwiches, scones, jellies, and a variety of desserts), or opt for one of the savory meals. Accompany that with one of the iced drinks, which are fruit-flavored and colorful, served in chalice-like glasses. The beautiful interior design of the cafe makes for a great photo-op, and there is also merchandise (such as posters and keychains) on sale for fans.
Make your reservation (¥660) here.
Arrive 10 minutes before your reservation. Walk-ins are also available.
