A look inside Plataku, the Plarail cafe

I don't always post YouTube videos, but when I do they are two years late.

Isn't that a neat place. Not only is it a Cafe they also sell Plarails too!

I wonder if Plataku could also be a term for, well, people like us?

Plarail + Otaku = Plataku!

Urban Dictionary
Definition: Oatku
If your a otaku it means you have no social life, love life, ect

Urban Dictionary left out the part about being obsessed with some particular subculture and/or fandom.

When dealing with Japanese people, however, it may be best to keep in mind the modern Japanese image of an otaku -- Someone who only leaves their home only to eat or shop, if at all, with an overwhelming and unhealthy obsession about something.

Plarail + Otaku = Plataku!

Thats exactly the clever wordplay they were going for.

Being a otaku itself is very normal and accepted. In general you would describe the type of person you have described as hikikomori, or in some cases a neet.

In Toronto, Canada, we have something similar. Sadly not as fancy as the cafe depicted in the video. The bullet train delivers foods on bullet trains via conveyor belts (see the photo below).



I also found a video



Personally, I haven't been there yet based on the reviews on the link below.

If any of you ever come to Toronto, we have a variety of cafe ranging from cat cafe to toilet cafe.

Thanks Leyland.

Wonder what is used for the propulsion on that Shinkansen as it looks to move so smooth and quiet.

ugh!!! Cat Cafe and Toilet Cafe doesn't sound too appetizing.

Maybe it is using a concept similar to magnetic trains.

As for the cat cafe, you have to like cats. Cats will walk around you. You can pet the cats.

As for the toilet cafe, everything is based on toilet theme. You will sit on a toilet bowl eating deserts out of dishes that resemble bath tubs and toilet bowls. You have to have a great senae of humor to enjoy the experience.
