ALICE IN WONDERLAND CAFE IN TOKYO. JAPANESE AMAZING THEME RESTAURANTS, CHESHIRE CAT, CUTE FOOD FROM DIAMOND DINING.
Tokyo’s Alice in Wonderland cafe remains a favorite destination for us spooky kids. There are now two locations: Ginza and Shinjuku. Grab a fun group, cosplay as the characters and remember to bring your camera!
** UPDATE – I filmed scenes here, for a Food Network TV show. Please check out the new photos of Alice in Wonderland Restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.
The waitresses wear Mad Hatter, Goth Alice and White Rabbit outfits — so cute.
How cute is the food? The curry looks like the Cheshire Cat, with hard boiled egg eyes and an olive nose.
“Waiter, there’s a ladybug and caterpillar in my dinner.”
“Stop complaining and follow the instructions… Eat Me!”
(You can learn how to make your own cute meals in my book Cute Yummy Time.)
The Alice cafe’s decor changes with the seasons. These photos are from October 2008, hence the strange inflatable pumpkins. (I know you’re wondering… my glossy red boots are Angelic Pretty, from Closet Child.)
The mis-matched Olde English chairs and lampshades are befitting of a mad tea party, ne?

MAXICIMAM MA/MAM GOTHIC LOLITA BOUTIQUE IN HARAJUKU. EGL GOTH LOLITA CLOTHING, CAT EARS COSPLAY.
So happy to be back in Tokyo! Lots of shopping success already, and I’m off to the Versailles concert in 30 minutes… you can follow my minute-to-minute Japan adventures on my Twitter. (I’ll add you back.)
Here are Gothic Lolita store photos I took in 2008 but never posted. Across from Harajuku’s JR subway station, there’s a white building easily overlooked in the hustle-bustle of Takeshita Doori.
Inside lies Maxicimam, a boutique for Gothic Lolita Punk.
What’s with the strange name? According to CD Japan (they sell the brand internationally), “Ma Maxicimam” explores the world of punk and gothic, “Mam Maxicimam” targets Lolita fashion, and “Nekomimi Maxicimam” uses cats and ears for its main theme.
The designs are somewhat simple compared to other Lolita brands, and some of the pieces are hit-and-miss. But it’s worth taking a peek in this little store.
Have you bought or tried any Maxicimam clothes? What do you think of the quality? You can see other Harajuku Gothic Lolita store photos here.
Now off to VERSAILLES!
