My Favorite Ni-chome (Waobani)

This place is not a gay bar, but a “concept cafe.” Boys in black sheer sexy outfits with bunny ears serve you. It opens from 4 PM, so it’s perfect for a drink before picking up your kids.

Inside, the lighting is dim, and the neon lights are flashing, making you feel like you’ve entered a game world. When we were discussing the design for our clinic's waiting area, I even told the interior designer that I liked the neon lights at Waobani. The colorful neon is really lovely.

The staff wears very see-through outfits, but since the inside is warm, it’s quite comfortable. It's also cute when they occasionally adjust their bunny ears while chatting.

They serve Kinmiya shochu here. I can't tell the difference between Kinmiya, Japan, and Kyochu (Kyougetsu). I drink it mixed with jasmine tea. When I get drunk, I can’t even tell the difference between jasmine tea and green tea anymore.

Sometimes they have some interesting canned alcoholic drinks. Recently, they had Orion canned chuhai, which was really good. You should ask the staff, “What kind of drinks do you have today?” for a fun experience.
