Interesting new waiters in a Japanese Pub

The first time I noticed the politeness and activeness of Japanese waitresses was when colleagues arranged a welcome party after my arrival to Japan. The party was at traditional Japanese restaurant. At that time I could not remember the name of the dishes ordered for party. Everything was purely Japanese food as it was my initiation to Japanese food.

Japanese waitresses and waiters are remarkably polite and guaranteed, we will be pleased. I had many times bad experience at some restaurants not getting enough attention, but that was not in Japan. Japanese waitresses are so polite that they use honorific form of Japanese to talk with customers.

Japanese restaurant staff are alert and vigilant to serve the customers. We will be pleased and will not mind for waiting for long time also, since he or she will be always there with a smiling face and always say sorry for the delay. I have many times thought, how we could show the angry face to a Japanese restaurant staff even if the service is delayed ! Such a pleasing service and care to the customers they show that we may put off our busy schedules and would rather prefer to wait!

Today I was browsing through the Reuters report and saw an interesting news about a restaurant waiter at a Japanese pub Kayabukiya. This bar is north of Tokyo and interestingly the waiters are not humans. They are a pair of monkeys named Yat-chan and Fuku-chan. Chan is another form of san used in Japanese language to call beloved younger ones.

Reuters reports that Fuku-chan is fond of first shift and is active in helping customers to hand over the hot towels before order for the nomimono (drinks). Fuku-chan has two years experience only and his duty is to hand over the hot towels to the customers. He is four years old now.

Both Yat-chan and Fuku-chan are appreciated by the customers to the bar. They will give them boiled soya-beans to eat.
