日本酒馆用猕猴当服务员
The Kayabukiya Tavern looks like any other traditional-style Japanese 'sake-house' restaurant.
这家名为“Kayabukiya”的酒馆和其他传统风格的日本清酒屋餐馆看起来差不多。
However, once you walk into the modest premises in Utsunomiya, Tochigi prefecture it quickly becomes apparent that human waiters have been replaced by Macaque monkeys.
Seventeen-year-old Fuku-chan was ushered into the role after she delivered a napkin to a table unprompted, mimicking Yat-chan, the original Macaque waiter.
Restaurant owner, Kaoru Otsuka, then decided to pair her with Yat-chan.
People come from all four corners of the world to be served by the simian and now video footage has caught her in action, showing a typical day at work.
Viewers can see Fuku-chan, dressed in a chequered waiter's shirt and skirt, bringing guests a beer and fetching napkins for diners.
If Fuku-chan and her younger companions do a good job patrons of the restaurant are encouraged to leave a tip of soya beans while their owner feeds them bananas as payment.
Otsuka, who sort the monkeys after seeing them in their natural habitat of the Nikkō mountains, said: 'They are closer than my family. I hold them all day and sleep with them. Once I started taking care of them I couldn't let go.
'They are just way too cute.'
Monkeys have been working at the bar for some 29 years, reports 28 Lab.
