A new sensation! A gay snack bar in New York?! Toast across borders with a cheerful Mama!
"Aquihito" operates within walking distance of Times Square, the heart of New York.
The owner of the establishment is Akito, born and raised in Osaka (Habikino City), known for her exceptional conversational skills.
Raised as the only son of a sushi chef, Akito learned customer service from a young age. During her university years, she traveled to the US to study art. After graduation, she played a key role in launching new businesses, making her a Mama with extensive experience.
Mama has lived in New York for about 20 years. This New Yorker x Kansai hybrid Mama has a wealth of topics and is skilled at drawing out conversation, making her highly recommended even for snack bar beginners. Let's enjoy lively conversations about art, international travel, immigration, and much more. With Mama's diverse experiences, she's also a great confidante for love stories and worries. Our friendly Mama, like a friend or sibling, will welcome you with a smile.
Mama will chat about a wide range of topics, from recommended bagels, tourist spots, and restaurant information, to advice on living abroad!
The actual store is always bustling with customers. In addition to a selection of Japanese and American sake, Mama Akito's homemade delicious dishes (especially curry rice) are very popular! People who initially come out of interest in "snack bars" as a Japanese cultural experience seem to quickly become captivated by Mama Akito.
Step outside of "Aquihito" and the New York cityscape unfolds before you. On a nice day, Mama herself might even act as a tour guide for a walk through New York! As you pass New Yorkers against the backdrop of the stylish city, you'll feel completely transported to an overseas trip. This is one of the unique charms of "Online Snack Yokocho."
