Sumire Uesaka, the voice of Russian Waifu Alya, Opens her Vodka-filled Dream Cafe

The talented seiyuu Sumire Uesaka has realized one of her most cherished dreams: the opening of her own concept cafe, ‘Twilight Rouge‘, in Tokyo’s Suehirocho district. This January 18, the seiyuu of the beloved Russian waifu Alya, held a press conference to present this project, which has been carefully designed and supervised by herself. The cafe, themed as a vampire school, promises to be a unique space for fans of anime and Japanese pop culture.

Sumire Uesaka, whose voice has brought to life the stoic and charming Alisa Kujou, as well as numerous anime and video game characters, has put her heart and effort into this project. From finding the perfect venue to selecting the décor and menu, every detail has been carefully considered. “First, this spacious interior space!” commented Uesaka during the press conference.

“I looked at many places, including downtown Akihabara, but when I thought of an elegant and comfortable space, I found this wonderful place. I had many meetings with the architect. I wanted a U-shaped bar, but I ended up with a more ambitious bar. I also wanted a huge monitor for karaoke and everything I wanted to do in a concept cafe. The food menu is authentic and you won’t get bored even if you come every day. Since I really like alcohol, I also have a bar. I want to offer recommended whiskey and vodka menus that change daily or weekly. Of course, enjoying the concept is important, but delicious food and drinks are also very important. Comfort is also important.

Sumire Uesaka’s passion for detail is evident in every corner of the café. From the staff uniforms to the selection of drinks, everything has been carefully chosen, reflecting her refined taste, similar to that of her character Alya. The seiyuu even participated in staff interviews and has placed her own figures in the premises. “It’s not just a name loan, my life is at stake,” Uesaka said with a smile. “I realized that this is what it means to invest my own funds.”

Uesaka also revealed that this project was a personal challenge. “The hardest thing is for the candidates and staff, but it’s also the first time I’ve created something from scratch. This place was just raw concrete last summer. I had to consult with the staff on how to set up the bar, where to place the tables, what kind of karaoke to use, etc. I even went to Yamaya to buy the alcohol myself.”

As for drinks, Sumire Uesaka has put special emphasis on liquor selection. “I like whiskey, vodka and brandy, so I think the selection is very good. In particular, I don’t think there is any concept coffee with so much vodka. My personal recommendation is Zubrowka,” Uesaka said. “While drinking that, I want to add new vodkas that I find.”

This last statement was received with great enthusiasm in networks, especially due to her character of Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou (Alya), which being half Russian has a correlation in one way or another with this famous alcoholic beverage. Sumire Uesaka, has played other characters who are also Russian, and has revealed on numerous occasions to have studied the language, so some fans have assured that there is no better actress for these roles.

Twilight Rouge‘ is not only a place to drink and eat, but also a safe and welcoming space for anime and manga fans. “There are many concept cafes in the world, but Twilight Rouge aims to be a healthy concept cafe. It’s very important ‘not to cheat the beginners of concept cafes.’ I have created a system so that even those who like anime and seiyuu, but are not familiar with concept cafes, have never been or are a bit scared of them, can safely enjoy themselves,” stated Sumire Uesaka.

Twilight Rouge‘ features large screens and an excellent sound system, and events such as anime marathons, mini-concerts and readings are planned. It is accepting reservations from January 24 to January 31 for its pre-opening. During this period, members of the Sumire Uesaka fan club can make reservations for themselves and a companion (who does not need to be a member). The official opening is scheduled for February 6. It is important to note that Uesaka will not be serving customers during the opening days.
