The latest craze in Japan: The pig café. Like a cat café, visitors can sit on the floor and play and cuddle with the “micro pigs” – miniature pigs, about the size of a corgi dog. The experience costs about $15 for the first 30 minutes. The first one opened in 2019, and now there are currently about ten minipig cafés throughout the country, with more in the works. The pig café is the latest in a series of animal coffee shops that have popped up in Japan, including ones that feature owls, hedgehogs, birds and even snakes.
* Their slogan is “Enjoy your visit, and watch your step.”
* These pigs sound like attention hogs.
* Funny they don’t mention what they serve in the café part of the Pig Café.
* Is a “micro pig” a pig that can fit in the microwave?
* Dang. Now I’m hungry for ribs.
