" Don&amp;#039;t like dining alone? At Moomin Caf\u00E9 in Japan, you won&amp;#039;t have to \u2014 ever. That&amp;#039;s because, according to Foodbeast, solo patrons dine with giant stuffed animals. The companions are based off of characters from the Moomin franchise, which is a Swedish-Finish book and animated series. The creatures look like hippopotamuses and are friendly faces for otherwise lonely eaters. We&amp;#039;re not sure if the gesture would make us feel better or just draw attention to the fact that someone is dining alone, but we must admit that the stuffed animals are pretty cute.
