Sutori Cafe

From Kokorodatabase

Sutori Cafe was originally founded as a hideout from the normal world during one of the many wars in Japan's history. However, as time changed, it soon became obvious to all that this cafe, established by the Kagemoris, one of the demon families in Tokyo, was here to stay. Like many establishments that have been around for ages, the appearance has changed over time to suit the various generations that come here to relax. Today, it resembles a coffeehouse in appearance, yet still seems rather home-like at the same time.

Since Sutori has to cater to a varity of races and people, the menu has a rather large selection of items. However, the place is most famously known for its 'Raspberry Lemonade', as well as anything else that has raspberries in it. Or at least, the mages claim that their raspberry sweets are the most famous here.

Every Friday evening, the cafe hosts a karaoke bar. Most of the females tend to enjoy the evening, though the males they drag with them do not. This night is commonly known as 'Karaoke Night', and it's a common tradition for the male mages of The Star Six to avoid the cafe during this time.

As Sutori is known as the heartbeat of the magical community due to the number of people coming in, it would be natural that many clubs and debates would meet here as well. If one's lucky, then he or she may even see a local Darkwave tournament going on.

[edit] Trivia

• Sutori's name is a play on the word 'Sutoroberii', meaning Strawberry. However, it could also be said that it also comes from the word 'Satori' (a Japanese Buddhist term that means 'enlightment')
• While Sutori is rumored to be the rival cafe to Cafe Mew Mew, both hold similar roles for their various communities, and thus do not actually compete for the other's customers.
