A few weeks ago we reported on a new Pokémon themed cafe in Tokyo which was due to open later in the month. Now that it's finally open Japanese website gamer.ne.jp paid a visit to check it out, and it certainly looks to be a rather special place indeed.
Here are some of the things which caught our eye from the visit.
Merch
A visit to the Pokémon Cafe would not be complete without checking out all the lovely merch which is on offer. You'd be hard pushed not to leave without a new Pikachu plush at the very least.
Delicious treats
The cafe menu has dishes with such cute designs; they almost look too good to eat. You can even buy the plates and mugs to take back home with you!
Giant Snorlax
It's worth going just to see the giant Snorlax!
So those are some of our favourite things about the new Pokémon cafe in Toyko. Be sure to head over to gamer.ne.jp and let us know if anything interesting catches your eye. Would you like to check this cafe out for yourself one day?

Seems a bit more like a Pokémon Mall than a cute café, but the dishes are certainly adorable.
we probably never will get this sadly.
would be cool to go to.
That is awesome. I don't even like pokemon like that and I fear for my wallet if I went. I know one woman that would end up destitute if you ever dropped her into one of these places. She lost her mind over that Lapras plushie.
@Pod The Cafe is next to the new DX store.
Going in April!
As much as I would love to go, my bank account and wallet say no. I'll just have to stick with the bento boxes at the local Japanese steakhouse.
They must take their merchandise quite seriously. There's several different types of ditto themed plushies on that right shelf.
I want to go. I got excited when I saw one of those Pokemon Center vending machines in a mall. I still regret not getting that Torchic...
These kinds of things really make me believe I was born in the wrong part of the world. Japan has ALL THE GOOD STUFF. ;-;
If I were to ever go to Japan, I'd probably take empty luggage just to load it with Pokémon knickknacks.
Im going to tokyo in 2 weeks! Im so hyped!
Itadakimasu !
Why can't I just instantly move to Japan?
You mean Tokyo gets all the best stuff.
Can San Francisco get a Pokémon cafe please?
Now I really want a Sableye plush... And that Pikachu burger is making me hungry. 8I
@ThatNyteDaez Hmmm... it looks more like an Eevee Burger to me, which is kinda fitting considering it's Brown and such. I wonder if there's a spicy Flareon burger and a Seafood-themed Vaporeon Burger. Not sure about Jolteon... Honey mustard perhaps?
@ThatNyteDaez That's an Eevee burger.
Living in Japan I have been to the Pokemon Center stores in Osaka, Tokyo and the smaller one in Kyoto. I have also been to a couple anime themed cafes. They can be really nice aesthetically. The Gundam one in Tokyo I especially like because the menu is full of entertaining references and they play the Gundam opening and ending themes from across the years. But the food in these places is all about appearance and often is nice to look at, but very bland to actually eat.
The Pokemon Centers are nice for their awesome selections of merchandise, holding card events and having mystery gift distributions for the games. But I wouldn't go out of my way for the food.
I can dream...😅 Maybe some day I'll be able to go to an awesome place like this.
@ThatNyteDaez Definitely an Eevee burger.
I would love to eat there, but I know with my luck nothing would be gluten free, so I'm not missing out on anything anyway.
But is the food from organic Pokemon farms? Industrial farmed Jigglypuff just doesn't taste the same. And it's really hard to find a place that serves a decent Magmar steak.
I live too far away to be thinking about this right now!
