Izakaya Mahoro

If our wavelengths match, I'll see you tonight.

About Mahoro

In a corner of Tokyo, behind an old shopping arcade. There, a single red lantern glows faintly. That's the sign for Izakaya Mahoro.

There's no sign, and during the day, it's just an empty shop. However, after 10 PM, the boundary between the real world and the other world blurs, and only those connected by a strange fate can find and pass through the shop's curtain.

Humans, yokai, ghosts, gods, or perhaps even time travelers. Tired salarymen and Yamata no Orochi drink side-by-side. This is a temporary perch for just one night, reachable only by those whose "wavelength (channel)" matches.

Shop Rules
🏮Opening Hours

From 10 PM to 6 AM. Closed on Mondays. However, the flow of time inside the shop is gentle. Even if it's morning outside, it's always night inside.

🍶Payment

All items are 300 yen. Cash only, but don't worry if you don't have enough. Payment can be made with your own valuable "memories" or "secrets."

📜Prohibited Items

Fighting, soliciting, consulting, or any other disruptive behavior within the store is forbidden. Customers whose wavelengths are disturbed will be unceremoniously thrown out by the owner.

Shop Facilities
Waiting Area

A waiting area with wooden benches to the right just inside the sliding door. During busy times, you'll be given a numbered ticket and wait here to be called.

👥 Seats 2-3 📍 Right by the entrance

※There are forgotten umbrellas and old newspapers under the bench. Sometimes drunk customers sleep here.

Counter Seats

An L-shaped counter, the "heart" of Mahoro. This is where the staff pour drinks and listen to customers. Grilled squid and small hot pots are served, and customers' complaints and laughter fly around.

👥 Seats 8 📍 Center of the shop

※This is where the "wavelength fluctuations" are strongest. The seat heights vary, and sometimes a seat appears empty even when there are no vacant spots.

Table Seats

Basically, there are two 2-person tables and two 4-person tables. Both human salarymen and yokai couples naturally end up sitting next to each other in a strange atmosphere.

👥 4 tables (2-4 people each) 📍 By the wall

※During busy times, a mysterious "auxiliary table" appears. Sometimes a table has an extra leg.

Zashiki (Raised Seating)

A popular spot where you can stretch your legs. Since the "dreams" of sleeping customers are reflected in the scenery of the zashiki, the walls might show mountains or the seaside.

👥 Seats 6 📍 Back of the shop

※The space might expand depending on the dream state. The cushions sometimes talk. Staff might also sneak up here for a drink.

Back Entrance (Service Entrance)

The service entrance behind the kitchen. Outside, discarded refrigerators and cardboard boxes are piled high. At night, a bakeneko might come to borrow garbage.

📍 Behind the kitchen 🚪 Back exit

※Yankee ghosts might continue their fights here. The staff are used to it and just quietly close the door.

Second Floor (Staff Area)

Up the old wooden stairs at the back of the shop. This is the living area where the staff stay. Tatami rooms and bunk beds are scattered about.

📍 Upstairs from the back stairs 🔒 Staff only

※This is a mysterious place where the necessary space is created when needed. Sometimes your own room might appear.
