@home cafe

* The information is correct as of [Jan 26, 2006].

About:

@home cafe is one of the largest maid cafes in Japan, consisting of main and branch shops in Akihabara area. Both of them are located on the higher floors.
Although @home is basically a cafe, it features the service that allows you to play cards or Othello with maids. If you win the game over the maid, you will be awarded a token, with which you can operate the Gacha-gacha vending machine to get their original goods.
The cafe has two different kinds of seats: counter (@counter) and table (@living). The counter seat is prohibited from smoking. Come Home Fee (table charge) is necessary for all seats except the counter seat at Donki shop, but it deserves its price because you can participate in events, such as paper-rock-scissors game, which leads to prizes.
Although slightly different, both shops have take-a-picture-with-maid services.
In July of 2005, a couple of maids formed an idol group called “KANZEN-MAID-SENGEN” (Perfect maid declaration) and have released CDs.
