The Lazy House - The Japanese restaurant that treats customers in a lazy way

The Japanese people are known for their kindness and politeness. An education that is admired by many. They are organized and often do not express what they think to others to avoid any type of conflict.

The service could not be different. Japan is a country where if the train is delayed, a formal apology is made; if the quality of service is not exemplary, they apologize and bring something better again. Everything is thought out to have the least amount of problems or difficulties for those around them.

A sense of social care and justice is something extremely strong among the Japanese. However, in this article, we will comment on a somewhat peculiar restaurant, a restaurant that leaves the so-called Japanese etiquette a bit aside and delivers a unique treatment.

The Lazy House, also known as The Bake House, is a Japanese restaurant located in the Nagoya region in Aichi Prefecture, in Nakagawaku Yoshimoto cho.

This restaurant has been a craze among the Japanese, curious about the treatment. Is it worth visiting this restaurant? Read the article to the end and find out.

Rude treatment?!

Some refer to the Lazy House as 態度悪い Taido Warui, which means: terrible treatment or bad behavior. Upon entering the restaurant, many are greeted with “Hurry up,” “pick up the pace,” “sit there!” The famous Irashaimase, welcome in Japanese, will not be the first thing you hear when you arrive at this restaurant.

When you arrive at your table, the first thing you will notice is the delay in receiving your order, and as soon as you question it, you will hear, “Do you know how to follow the order of arrival or not, dude?” making you feel like an idiot for asking.

On the menu, you will find the names of the orders written in a not-so-conventional way, things like: “for you who have no friends – Mango Caprese and prosciutto (2 servings/serves two).”

Even after placing your order, it does not mean you will receive it right away. And when you do receive it, it does not mean you will get your spoon right away; sometimes you will have to go get it. Did you order in a low voice? Speak louder. Did you speak too loudly? Lower your voice, that’s what you will hear sometimes.

It may seem rude, but this treatment, especially for those going in a group of friends, is extremely funny. Sometimes you will find employees on their phones as if they don’t care, and sometimes some will go out to smoke.

At times, some employees keep asking what time you are leaving.

Food

Something that everyone reports about the Lazy House is that everything is extremely well made and tasty. Those who go notice that there is extreme care in the preparation of everything. Showing the great concern they have for those who visit the place, highlighting that all the treatment is just to relax with those who go to the place.

The menu is extremely varied, having not only many tasty foods but also special drinks.

The truth about the place

When you go to pay and leave, you realize that it was all just a joke. Everyone treats you with great kindness, affection, and smiles. Asking if you feel good, if everything is okay, and hoping you come back, in addition to thanking you for your presence at the place.

Ironically, as if they were different people.

As mentioned earlier, the purpose of the place is just to relax and bring a unique experience to the customer; the intention is not to make the person feel 100% bad, but rather to experience what they are not used to and with that, have some laughs among friends while tasting the delicious delicacies that the place offers.
