Red Ananas — Restaurant in Tokyo

Red Ananas is a Taiwanese drink shop with about 20 seats and Taiwanese/mando-pop music playing in the background. Orders are placed at two touchscreen vending machines by the entrance, which offer multiple language options.

The menu is divided into Taiwanese snacks, drinks, and noodles. The drinks are further split into milk tea, fruit tea, and coconut milk. You can customize them by adjusting the ice and sugar levels and adding toppings like tapioca, nata de coco, grass jelly, or various fruits for JPY 110 each.

We ordered the coconut milk with pomelo and sago for JPY 700 and a fruit tea with nata de coco for about JPY 710, requesting less sugar and ice. Our drinks were ready within about three minutes. At first sip, the drinks were intensely sweet despite our request for less sugar, and then almost flavorless afterwards. This suggests the syrup was added first and not properly mixed. The amount of sago and pomelo also seemed lacking and didn't add much to the drink.

A guy came out and told us we had to leave because not everyone at our table had ordered something (there were only 3 of us, and the place was empty). I explained we had spent money there earlier in the day, but he said something along the lines of "now is now". They clearly don't appreciate their customers and I thought this was a petty and rude way to handle the situation. There's a lot of much better food around and I'd definitely...

The store used images of females and children within prohibition signs, which gives a sense of discrimination. The store may have specific reasons for not allowing females to bring children under six inside, but using images within prohibition signs clearly creates a discriminatory impression. Therefore, I felt that the atmosphere wasn’t very pleasant. The staff seemed a bit unfriendly. The price is rather high considering what you get.

Even though it’s a cafe, you can’t stay long inside here. If you’re looking for a cafe where you can linger, the AfternoonTea TEAROOM is much better. I once saw a staff member kindly guide a mother with a stroller to a comfortable seat. The AfternoonTea TEAROOM doesn't make people feel...
