At the cafe consists of four sections, namely “Theater”,”Cafe”,”Private room”,and “Shop”. At “Theater”, you can enjoy buffet style meals with movies of AKB’s concerts on a large screen.

In addition, at “Shop” you can buy original items related to AKB.
Sometimes AKB’ members make “surprise” visits to the Cafe& Shop, which makes customers amazingly happy.
And here is another new information concerning AKB48 project. On this Oct. 1st, AKB’s management announced it is going to launch a project of a new sister group of AKB48. The new group is “TPE48”, which is to be based in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan.
