good to know

what is a micro-pig cafe?

a micro-pig cafe is a booked-slot cafe where you sit in a pen with small pigs while you drink. the best known is mipig, a japanese chain with branches in tokyo, osaka, kyoto and beyond. pigs nap on laps and are bred for companionship.

do micro-pigs stay small?

not always. true micro-pigs are small but many grow larger than buyers expect, which is part of why dedicated cafes exist. reputable cafes keep, rather than rehome, pigs that outgrow the marketing.
