ANAKUMA CAFE

ANAKUMA CAFE is an interactive cafe in Kawaramachi, Kyoto. Drinks are served from a bear's paw that comes out of a hole in a green wall, and customers can talk with the bear using a whiteboard. After buying a meal ticket from a touch-panel vending machine, customers go to the wall, and while waiting they can touch or shake hands with the bear's paw. The cafe currently offers takeout only, with no eating inside the store.
