On October 8th 2016, just in time for the Key Points event, a group of passionate kagikko in Tokyo hosted their very own Key-themed cafe, and our Japan correspondent RyuuTamotsu has written up his impressions for all of us to read! Check it out below.
Today, October 8th, was a special day for some of Key fans in Japan as they had the chance to visit Key Cafe, a fan-made key style cafe. @Glenn_Irish and I were lucky enough to be there for one and a half hours.
The Cafe was next to Suehiro-cho station (around 13 minutes walking from Akihabara station). And as I mentioned before, the Cafe was fan-made, so it wasn’t a surprise that the shop was small.
As we entered the cafe, a number of cosplayers of various Key works’ characters welcomed us. And as we were waiting for our order to come, we enjoyed listening to Key works’ soundtracks playing in order from Kanon to Charlotte. The cafe was decorated nicely with a lot of Key merchandise (Plushies, flyers… etc). It was against the rules to take pictures of the staff, but we took some pictures of the cafe and the food.
The atmosphere was really nice, the staff were kind and they were talking with everyone about key. Everyone in the cafe had a good time singing Dango Daikazoku with Nagisa, and following the orders of Yurippe, even Akiko san made an appearance.
The cafe was special in many ways, starting with the food/drinks. The menu had a collection of Key-themed dishes. Every Key work had at least one choice on the menu (Except for Harmonia) and with every dish/drink you get one can badge with a character from that work (illustrated by Remotaro). You can check the menu from here
We ended up ordering the Rewrite set (Esaka’s antique shop’s super delicious sandwiches and… well -oppai- chocolate. The drink was Kotori’s home-made tea served with a key-shaped cookie)
We’ve also ordered the Air set (Giant riceballs and a thick peach nectar)
We also got Air and Little busters themed drinks
(Air’s drink was a blue soda with a unique straw and behind it is Little buster’s drink with oranges as cat ears)
And here is our collection of can badges
The cafe also had a key on each table, which allows you to call any of the staff to come and do something that the character they are cosplaying did in the VNs/Anime. (Kotori did “Girls punch” and Misuzu did “Bui sign” …etc)
And you can take an instant picture with any of the staff there for 500yen/picture.
Key cafe was a good experience. It is really nice to see this kind of activities every now and then. Hopefully, Key Cafe will motivate key fans across the world to do more key-themed fan activities.
O wow that looks really nice and the food looks delicious. I wish key was popular in our country XD
Wow! This is really cool!
Does anyone order Akiko’s jam 
Would you order Akiko’s jam?
No?
Then why ask haha
shyly raises hand I would…?
Anyways was nice to read the article and see pics of the food 
I really wish I could have been there though ;_;
Looks amazing, Nice to see Key-themed base dishes and drinks, just goes to show their dedication. The atmosphere would actually feel nice to be in.
So, where’s my feecof.
That’s really cool, @RyuuTamotsu. (^-^) I wish I could have been there too. Those plushies look really cute too and the food looks delicious as well. I think especially those rice balls would be interesting in savoring the taste too. It’s kind of why I want to go to Japan and visit one of these days. It must have been exciting being there. I’m very happy you got to go there and enjoying your wonderful experience of the Key Cafe.
I’m really curious about Akiko’s jam and Sanae’s bread. I wonder if it tastes like it should (that is awful) which would be more accurate or did they decide to make it edible.
Anyways, that’s one of places I’ll visit if I’ll ever go to Japan (if it will still exist by then )
And there is the reason why I would probably order that. And then I’d probably see if curiosity kills the cat or not.
Whew!, I want to go there!!
