Arabica, a popular Japanese coffee shop, came to Hong Kong to open a branch early. Immigration officers disguised as customers to conduct an investigation at the site in June this year and found that a female barista from a Japanese head office worked illegally as a tourist in Hong Kong and was later charged by the Immigration Department with one count of breach of condition of stay. The case was tried in Sha Tin Court today. The female barista admitted the case and was allowed to sign a conservative act for 12 months at a cost of HK $2,000. The charge was dropped.

NOZOMI TAKIGUCHI, a 24-year-old Japanese barista, was accused of accepting employment as a visitor at the Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, on June 8, 2017.

The reporter once asked the female barista how she felt in English out of court, but the barista said she only knew how to speak Japanese.
