Twitter user Haru recently visited paid the restaurant's Tokyo Dome City LaQua branch a visit.
[Haru] bravely stepped inside, took a seat, and placed her order. But as she was sitting by herself, waiting for her food to come, she was approached by one of the staff, who came over to inform Haru there was someone who'd like to sit with her, if she didn't mind.
It turned out the server was making the request on behalf of The Snork Maiden, the girlfriend of Moomin's main character, Moomintroll. "The waitress had such a big smile on her face, I couldn't say no," Haru recalls, embarrassedly [sic]. "But it was also so cute!"
Then Haru snapped this photo of her new "date":
