"Tetsudou Izakaya Little TGV" (railroad, train, or densha bar) whose waitresses wear uniform of railroad (that looks like you have seen it somewhere before) clerks pre-opened on the 21st.
On its official website, the bar explains what is "Tetsudou Izakaya Little TGV": it is a bar whose motif is railroad. There are conductresses, bus drivers, attendants, sales people aboard a train, etc, cosplayers (ladies) serve you drinks and foods that are connected with railroad. There is a model of train running inside, and you will hear the sound of railroads. You can also see scenery of the outside on a big monitor. We would love you to ride a Dream-like imaginary railroad. According to asahi.com, it is for people who like railroad or who are interested in railroad. A fictitious railroad company, Shin Akiba Denki Tetsudou (New Akihabara Electric Railroad (NAER)) runs this train.
In the bar, there are
a signboard of a test run,
a traffic light, and
some real (maybe) train-related goods. The window seats are like
a bench for a train and a
a ticket looks like a train ticket.
Its menu looks like
a map around Tokyo, and its
drink menu uses names of trains such as "Tadami Line Kiha 40-kei (sake), Senzan Line 719-kei (sake), Onoda Line Kumoha 42 (whiskey), 0-kei Hikari (Blue Hawaii), Chuo Like Cocktail (Fuzzy Navel), Ginza Line Cocktail (Campari Orange), Hibiya Line Cocktail (Salty Dog), etc. Also, instead of "welcome home, master" that you hear at maid café, you will be welcomed by hearing "thank you for riding our train" in this bar.
Executive Director of Right Create Inc., which runs "Little TGV," Mr. Yasunori Migitaka explains: "nowadays, there are so many cosplay café and restaurants in Akihabara, so it's difficult to start a new business in this business world, especially, maid café is totally saturated. So, from now on, there should be something different if you want to be in the business as anew. That was railroad to us.
