Metropolis readers will hardly be able to contain their excitement at the upcoming stage show Hello Kitty In Wonderland, combining one of the greatest children’s stories of all time… with the 1865 Lewis Carroll novel. As an outlet for your pent-up Kitty juice, all five Diamond Dining Alice In Wonderland-themed restaurants in Tokyo are featuring a themed Kitty-Alice menu including dishes such as tomato-cream risotto with Kitty-shaped mozzarella (¥1,150), and the “Drink Me?” virgin cocktail (¥750). “Queen Kitty’s Tea Party” (¥1,800) is a two-tiered plate bearing the Cheshire cat and the opium-smoking caterpillar in cake forms, and comes with a free HK porcelain mug. And when you order these fine tidbits, you’ll have a chance to win prizes including tickets to the mouthless feline’s home, Sanrio Puroland.
