I felt like I'd grown up in that mansion with Iori taking care of me from childhood😂

Iori talk, pause, and you are replying by text. It is like watching some otome butler theme game🤣🤣

[LittleAmyHe]

It warms my heart to see Iori still there! It gives me a sense of nostalgia despite never having been there before simply due to seeing him in several YouTube videos over the years.

[leilanandara]

Iori-san is such a gentleman. So polite, kind and elegant that really make us customers feel like miladies and masters. For fangirls like myself is a thrilling experience. 🤭

[amyforsyth]

I would've died from embarrassment over the breaking up of the scones!! 😂 Phenomenal video! Can't wait for the next one❤

[sharirvekineorzea]

I went there at least three times around 2013-2015 and to see Iori-san is still there serving tea gives me a strange feeling, like the place is suspended in time... This video got me nostalgic, I didn't think I'd see Swallowtail again!

[anonview]

Iori-san looks like he managed to find the fountain of youth and drink from it. He looks the same as when he did in a different Swallowtail video years ago. And he's just as sweet and polite as I remember.

For anyone watching who thinks that the butlers are creepier than necessary, there's a video on CDawgVA's channel featuring the same place. They're more candid and relaxed there. It's just that Time to Travel doesn't speak in her ASMR videos, so their interactions just don't translate as well.

Also, I believe the scolding part is meant to be playful. You have to keep in mind that the conversation has to be translated, and Japanese language doesn't have the same inflections as English.

[johnfiorino]

This felt like a Japan role-playing video game and experiencing this was like a side quest LOL Love the video!

[martinkraegel]

I'm glad somebody picked up on the fact that these Japanese butler and maid cafes have a ASMR quality to them. I enjoy watching these videos for that reason.

[katiepeterson]

I like his fun conversation with the scone breaking. His eyes and manner are so kind and lovely.

[heyokasd]

I think I would find the attentiveness overwhelming, but it's charming how there's an element of roleplay and improvisation (the bit about the ring).

[ravennalovecraft]

I love when Iori comes back to roast you about breaking the scones, and the 'lost ring', a sense of humor is always refreshing in a place like this😂❤ I cant wait to visit myself

I went to this same cafe several years ago with my friend and my husband.

My poor husband got up to use the restroom and it was back in this little hallway. When he came out, a girl sitting at one of the other tables was standing at the entrance of the hallway and blocking him from going past. She was wearing a really elaborate red gown that took up the whole hallway and seemed to be really into the whole experience. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure my husband thought that we were just going out to grab an afternoon snack and I dragged him into this place... To give you an idea of him, his favorite time of year is fall because that's when American college football season starts. Anyway.

Hubby didn't know a word of Japanese and this girl was clearly waiting for one of the butlers to come escort her. He's desperately staring at me like wth do I do bc no one's coming to get this girl back to her seat and I'm gesturing like, dude, give her your arm and take her there yourself if you're so desperate to come back and watch our butler sweat through his suit because he lost at rock-paper-scissors and got stuck with the gaijin table. Finally, someone noticed and handled it.

Then, at the end, they stopped us from leaving and the gentleman at the front was radio-ing to someone and I thought, oh god, did we not pay the bill right or something, but then a gaggle of butlers came up with a linen-lined silver tray upon which there sat... a gross, dirty American penny one of us must have dropped on the floor by accident at our table.

Overall, a surreal afternoon. A++ service!! Would go again.

[kuroakikitsune]

It's nice seeing Lori is still there. I remember seeing a video about this cafe years ago. I wanted to go, but watching this made me realise- the undivided attention would make me flustered and I would try and do everything myself.

[gemmadistefano]

I knew about this café from a long time ago, but this is the first time I've got to see the butlers in action! Also, I knew Iori from some pictures I've seen in the past, but I'd never imagined how actually funny he can be! He's right though: a lady should be aware of how precious her possesions are, and carelessly leaving them around is unladylike! XD
Oh, so the cups are selected to match your current outfit? What a nice touch... the porcelain and the paintwork looked very dainty and lovely!

[gamemasteranthony]

I love that full tea set. My mother and I had something like that when we went to a place called The Mad Hatter's in Anoka, MN. The tea list there was quite extensive, so it was a great experience all around.

I love how proper the butlers were behaving. The contrast with the maids is actually quite interesting given the role of butlers and maids in both western and eastern households. Maids were usually the ones in charge of looking after the kids and are sometimes even chatting up the lady of the house...hence why the maids at the cafe are always so high energy. Meanwhile, the butler was the one who is usually trying to maintain a sense of order and properness in the house...hence why we see the butlers here acting with a sense of directness and poise. It really does give the feel of enjoying a high class tea or meal.

Iori-san is such a gentleman. So polite, kind and elegant that really make us customers feel like miladies and masters. For fangirls like myself is a thrilling experience. And also if I was in Japan I would go anywhere in Tokyo.

[GiuseppinaYutha]

IORI-SAN!!! His smile is so blinding I would have been perished slowly in my seat. If I was there, I would have make a fool of myself, pretty sure embarrass not only me but everyone else lol. He's such a gentle and warm person, you're so lucky to have him as your butler. Such a great experience tho! thank you for the ASMR video. OH and your nails are sooo pretty ❤
