Deai-kei

Deaikei (出会い系) means something "for an encounter" in Japanese.

Deai kissa (出会い喫茶) are coffee shops where men look at girls through a one way mirror and try to start the date if they like the girl.

Deaikei saito (出会い系サイト) refers to online dating websites.

Some kissa have been raided because of anti-prostitution laws.
