Today, in Adorable News, I bring you: The Hedgehog Cafe.

Now, we all know, thanks to the internet, that something this odd (though adorable) could only be the brainchild of Japan! Thanks, Japan. We owe you one for this. In fact, we may just refrain from making any remarks about the next truly bizarre thing you come up with. (Maybe.)
Anyways, the Harry Cafe can be found in the Roppongi District of Tokyo.
The name “Harry” stems from a wordplay on the Japanese word for hedgehog.
For $9-11, you can go pet and play with hedgehogs (presumably while drinking tea? It is a cafe after all… Then again, maybe not.)
Mizuki Murata, who works at the cafe, told Reuters, “We wanted to show people the charm of hedgehogs, which give the impression of being hard to handle. We wanted to get rid of that image by letting people touch them.”
She added, “The cutest thing about hedgehogs is getting them to finally open up and show you their face.”
And what cute faces!
P.S. Did you know that a group of hedgehogs is called an array or a prickle? A prickle of hedgehogs!
So what do you think, readers? Would you like to pet a hedgehog, or are they too prickly for you?
