[Moe Moe Kyun!] Maid Café Ideas for the School Cultural Festival

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

A maid café at a school festival sounds so much fun!

If you come up with a special theme, you can set your café apart from the others.

Here, we’ll introduce some recommended ideas for those who want to try running a maid café at their school festival!

It’s also a great idea to add original drinks and sweets to the menu.

And choosing the maid outfits is important too!

If everyone picks cute designs and colors together, it creates a sense of unity.

Make it the best maid café ever and create wonderful memories that the whole class can enjoy.

What Is a Maid Café (1–10)

Welcome home, Master!

Not many people have actually been to a maid café, right? Basically, it’s a café where staff dressed in maid outfits treat you kindly—and sometimes strictly—in cute voices.

The style where they welcome you not with “Welcome!” but with “Welcome home, Master!” when you enter is famous.

Try paying attention to creating situations you can enjoy in a classroom setting and to the atmosphere inside the café.

From here, we’ll introduce various ideas and costumes we’d love for you to try.

Please use them as inspiration and give a maid café a try at your school’s cultural festival!

Sparkling drinks to enjoy from the 100-yen shop

http://www.lemon8-app.com

100-yen stores keep evolving day by day.

From everyday staple seasonings and stationery to clever gadgets that make life easier, these shops have become indispensable in our daily lives.

How about selling sparkling drinks using “aurora powder” sold at these 100-yen stores? This aurora syrup makes ordinary liquids glow gently like the aurora—it’s wonderfully mesmerizing.

It also caters perfectly to today’s photo-worthy trends! Be sure to offer plenty of color variations using shaved ice syrups and more!

Fluffy Iced Matcha Latte

People have been saying there’s a matcha boom for quite some time, but I feel like matcha is no longer just a trend—it’s becoming a part of Japanese culture.

What do you think? Convenience stores always carry new matcha-flavored sweets, right? So let’s aim to be the most popular booth at the school festival with a “Fluffy Iced Matcha Latte.” The basics are simple: mix frozen matcha with frothed milk.

Add store-bought matcha chocolate or matcha cream as toppings, and you’ll have a refreshing-looking matcha latte.

Even the time spent planning the menu sounds fun.

Honey Matcha Soy Milk Latte

Mock tea ceremony events have started popping up in all kinds of places.

I don’t know all the detailed etiquette or steps, but tea enjoyed while sitting formally somehow carries a taste of tradition.

Everyone seems to love matcha.

A “Honey Matcha Soy Latte” that combines popular matcha with honey and soy milk might also be a hit! You can froth the soy milk or simply shake it with the matcha.

Drizzling the honey on top like a topping works nicely, too.

It could become a great talking point if sold alongside the tea ceremony club’s event!

Stylish drinks made with jelly

https://www.tiktok.com/@ohtake_food_beauty/video/7454701280154455314

Let me introduce a stylish drink that uses jelly so you can enjoy both the look and the texture.

Put your favorite flavor of jelly into a cup.

Stir to break up the jelly, then add ice and pour in soda—just like a drink you’d get at a café.

It looks refreshing and cool, which is really lovely.

Try making it with your favorite flavors like strawberry, mandarin orange, or melon.

If you prefer it a bit sweeter, adding syrup is recommended.

Finish with a mint leaf garnish for a cool, refreshing drink!

Heart Drink

http://www.lemon8-app.com

The heart mark that everyone loves.

It’s been used as a symbol for the heart since long ago, but did you know that shape also appears in Japanese architecture? When used in openwork carvings and the like, it’s called “inome,” which literally means “boar’s eye”—an intriguing name, isn’t it? If you made a drink covered in cute hearts like that, you’d be a surefire hit at a school festival! The showstopper is creating a big heart mark on the side of the glass with cream or melted marshmallow.

Add heart-shaped chocolates or cookies to finish it off as a lovely, love-themed drink!
