A Japanese waitress was fired after she was found to have mixed her own blood into unknown customers’ cocktails.
The Mondaiji Con Cafe Daku in Sapporo, Hokkaido – whose name loosely translates to “Problem Child Concept Cafe” – apologized for the employee’s actions.
Earlier this month, the outlet took to Twitter to respond to customer concerns and announced the waitress’ firing, saying they fired her after discovering her terrible cocktail additives.
The cafe described the server’s actions and their bloody preparations as “absolutely unacceptable”, but did not name those involved.
The owner of Mondaiji Con Cafe Daku also said the shop will be temporarily closed while they replace every drinking glass.

The cafe advertises itself as a place for “problem kids” and “cutest” girls who enjoy the dark.
It is also known for its all-you-can-eat menu for ¥2,500 (£15) an hour.
In response to the rather bloody controversy, the cafe’s owner said: “Please allow me to run the place a little longer so I can be happy on my own.”
“We will hire a contractor to clean the store, change glasses and dispose of any alcoholic beverages that may be contaminated. Again, I am very sorry for causing you trouble this time,” read a tweet posted earlier this month.
About the former employee, the owner said it was a form of “part-time terrorism”.
But following the news, a doctor warned that “drinking other people’s blood is an extremely dangerous act”.
Dr. Zento Kitao warned Japan’s Flash news website that anyone who visited the cafe should go to a doctor and have a blood test done.
“Cases of people becoming infected by drinking another person’s blood are rare,” he said, “but serious diseases can be transmitted through blood, including HIV, hepatitis C, hepatitis B and syphilis.
“If there are sores in the mouth, it is easy to get infected by blood transfusion.”

Japan is known for its concept cafes – such as Mondaiji Con Cafe Daku’s – that offer customers a somewhat unique experience when visiting an establishment.
From cat cafes to snake cafes to maid and butler shops, theme shops have become popular across the country.
