We all know it: the dreaded experience of having to eat alone.
You enter the restaurant and every time the waitress asks you in a shocked voice, “Oh, only a table for one?” And you feel sorry for the other couples dining around you because you are alone.
Well, that’s over! The Japanese have done it again.
They have created something special for those who hate eating alone and it is quite fun.

The Moomin Café is a restaurant in Japan where solo travelers sit next to giant, cuddly stuffed animals, usually hippos.
According to Food Beast, eating alone with a stuffed animal by your side makes you feel less lonely.
Just make sure you’re the one doing the talking all the time…
Each of the Moomin Cafés is themed around “The Moomins,” a Swedish-Finnish story about a family of friendly, hippo-like creatures.

Every décor in the cafe is inspired by the Moomin, as are all the food and drinks. However, it seems that people come for the plush company more than anything else. But what says “I’m alone in the world” better than a giant stuffed hippo on the seat next to you?
When you come into the cafe and the staff notices that you are sitting alone, they bring out one of the giant stuffed animals to sit next to you.
The plush trick seems to work great at the Moomin Café, if only because it makes lonely customers feel like they are in company..
And apparently these stuffed animals really are the best listeners.
