Inexplicable Name for a Family Restaurant

I spotted this inappropriately titled family restaurant in the amusement park, Hakkejima Sea Paradise. It brought a smile to my face that someone had the bright idea of calling a kid-friendly hamburger-and-ice-cream-sundae shop, “Booze Cafe”. I can only assume the proprietor had been hitting the booze himself when he came up with the name.

    Interesting indeed!
    It’s like the sign I saw, “Pride and Prejuice” for “Pride and Prejudice” in Shizuoka, or even worse, a bar called “Labia” in Shimizu!
    Thanks for the links!
    I will link to your site today!

    I did rush in, but it was full of kids eating ice-cream. Labia is a naughty part of a woman’s body!

    “Our Boozer” is a good name. There’s another place near Yokohama called “Boozee.”
