This Japanese cafe lets customers mingle with mini pigs

Mini pigs are now the latest craze in Japan, with one Tokyo cafe offering customers the chance to pet them for a small cost. It's a hit: Opened in Meguro ward as the country's first pig cafe in 2019, Tokyo's Mipig Cafe is one of about 10 such cafés in the city that feature miniature pigs, much like how cat or dog cafes operate, according to the Associated Press. Despite not spending any money on advertising, the cafe reportedly receives a steady stream of customers, who all heard about the establishment from social media.
