A recently opened restaurant in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, is drawing attention by introducing a new type of cocktail menu that looks like an aquarium when using the light of a smartphone to induce people to put down their cell phones during meals, according to Sora News 24, a local media outlet on the 27th. day reported.
According to reports, Tokyo’s newest yakiniku restaurant, Futago, conducted an online survey of 1,000 men and women in their 20s and older before opening. 65% of respondents said they felt awkward or uncomfortable because the person they were eating with was more engaged in looking at their phone than talking to them.
Instead of simply banning smartphones, Futago came up with the clever idea of making customers want to put them down themselves.
The idea was to make a hole in the bottom of the glass that the smartphone could slide into. If you don’t support it with your smartphone, the glass will topple over, so you have no choice but to put your smartphone on the table while the glass is full.
The restaurant also created a special cocktail menu using smartphone lights. Called the Smartphone fasting Sour, this cocktail features a blue color reminiscent of an aquarium or tropical sea.
There is also a small fish made of jelly inside the glass, which enhances the visual effect. The color is similar to the famous cocktail Blue Hawaii. The price of this menu of cocktails is 858 yen (about 8,100 won).
The store does not inform the recipe of this cocktail, but in general, when ‘sour’ is added to the cocktail name in Japan, Japanese-style shochu is often added.
