STORY/ИСТОРИЯ:

This "sake house" in northern Tokyo – этот "дом сакэ" в северном Токио employs two popular and unusual waiters - нанимает двух популярных и необычных официантов.

They are named Yat-chan and Fuku-chan - их зовут Ят Чен и Фуку Чен (pronounced Yat-tchan and Fookoo-chan), and are a pair of Japanese macaque monkeys - пара японских обезьян макаки.

Four-year-old Fuku-chan - у четырехлетнего Фуку Чена has already two years of experience - уже есть два года опыта under his furry belt - под его пушистым поясом.

His main duty is delivering hot towels - его главная обязанность - поставлять горячие полотенца to customers before they order their drinks - клиентам до того, как они закажут свои напитки.

This is how 12 year-old Yat-chan learned - это - то, как 12-летний Як Чен the tricks of the trade - изучил секреты торговли.

Kaoru Otsuka, Tavern Owner/Кауру Отцуко, владелец Таверны:

"Yat-chan first learned - Як Чен сначала учился, by just watching me - только наблюдая за мной working in the restaurant - работающим в ресторане.

It all started - все это началось, when one day I gave him a hot towel - когда однажды я дал ему горячее полотенце out of curiosity - из любопытства, and he brought the towel to the customer - и он принес полотенце клиенту".

Both monkeys are well appreciated by customers - обе обезьяны очень ценятся клиентами, who tip them - которые дают им чаевые with boiled soy beans - вареными бобами сои.

[Takayoshi Soeno, Tavern Customer]:
"The monkeys are actually better waiters than some really bad human ones!"

Yat-chan is a natural and is always eager to please his customers.

[Shoichi Yano, Tavern Customer]:
"These guys are really adorable. They're like my kids. Well actually better -- my son doesn't listen to me but Yat-chan will."

And customers are impressed that Yat-chan understands their order.

[Miho Takikawa, Tavern Customer]:
"We called out for more beer just then and it brought us some beer, right? It's amazing how it seems to understand human words."

Both monkeys were once household pets. But now they are certified restaurant employees.

The monkey pair work in shifts of up to a maximum of two hours a day, due to animal rights regulations.

And so their employer is now ready to train three new baby monkeys this year.

He hopes to bring up a new generation of Japanese waiters and waitresses.
