Established in 2017, Cat Cafe MOCHA Nagoya Sakae extended the chain's beloved presence into Japan's central Chubu region, bringing the philosophy of peaceful moments with cats to Nagoya's vibrant Sakae shopping district. Located on the second floor of BECOME SAKAE building (identifiable by Flying Tiger store on the first floor), the location sits adjacent to Parco's south building, just one minute's walk from Yaba-cho Station and ten minutes from Sakae Station itself. This location represents MOCHA's expansion strategy to reach cat lovers across Japan's major metropolitan areas while maintaining the same rigorous standards for feline welfare and visitor experience that define the brand.
The Nagoya Sakae location houses a diverse roster of beautifully groomed cats representing numerous breeds including Minuet, Exotic Shorthair, Ragdoll, Siberian, Scottish Fold, Singapura, British Shorthair, Maine Coon, Ragamuffin, Persian, American Shorthair, Munchkin, and Exotic Longhair. Notable residents like Chai (Minuet), Remio (Maine Coon), and Tsukiyomi (Siberian) exemplify the variety and care visible in each resident. Reviewers consistently praised the location as "hands down one of the coolest places on the planet" with "staff [who are] awesome" and "so much personality" evident in the cats. Visitors noted that cats are "super well groomed" and the facility maintains "a warm & cosy" atmosphere with "beautiful cats and unlimited hot/cold drinks from vending machines." The layout prioritizes cat comfort and relaxation, with one detailed reviewer highlighting the lack of time pressure—"there doesn't seem to be a time limit; we were here for 2 hours and still no one asked us to leave"—and praising the "chill music, beautiful cats" alongside the spacious design where "the layout and decor are designed for the cats to relax, hide and play. They seem very happy."
Operating daily from 10:00 to 20:00 (last entry 19:30), the Nagoya Sakae location uses a unique pricing structure: ¥1,000 (¥1,100 with tax) for the initial 30 minutes on weekdays, ¥1,273 (¥1,400 with tax) on weekends and special days, with ¥200 per additional 10 minutes and daily maximums of ¥3,200 (weekdays) or ¥3,500 (weekends). The entry fee includes unlimited access to the drink bar—a significant value. Children ages 6 and up are welcome with parental supervision (one guardian per three children maximum). The facility provides locker storage for belongings, manga reading materials, and offers cat treats at ¥100 and ¥550, with reviewers noting the availability of "healthy treats like fish and kitten milk cocktails or licks." The staff are described as "very friendly and observant to the cats, taking very good care of them." Multiple reviewers emphasized the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere with "chill music, beautiful cats" that creates a "comfortable space" ideal for decompression. As with all MOCHA locations, flash photography is prohibited, and visitors should avoid chasing or forcefully handling cats, instead allowing feline-initiated interaction.
