We know, we know - Japan gets all the cool stuff! Nintendo-centric stores and restaurants aren't all that rare in Japan, with Pokémon in particular being the focus of a number of stores in the country's capital, but this new Pokémon cafe has definitely risen towards the top of our 'must visit' list.
Opening later this month, and taking its first seat reservations next week, this new Poké-cafe is actually launching alongside a new Pokémon Center DX in Tokyo. Its official website has now uploaded some photographs showing off a beautiful interior and - most importantly - the yummy food that customers will be able to purchase. You can take a look at some of our favourites below.
Of course, you can order more than just food. A selection of plushies, coffees, desserts, and drinks are available, too - the 'Gengar’s Dubious Illuminating Smoothie' (bottom right) is definitely one that we'd like to see in the flesh.
If you're interested you can check out the full menu available at the new cafe here, and if you're planning on taking a trip to Tokyo anytime soon - remember to invite us along for the ride!

I really want to visit Japan one day. I've enjoyed some Pokémon themed food thanks to this book I bought for my sister.
Oh it's such a shame that I'm going twice in April, the second time paid for by work. Oh what a world...
Itadakimasu !
Let's quit showing everything awesome that Japan gets that we don't in the West! Games are bad enough.
This is the most aweseome thing ever. Wish I could go!
On the other hand it looks both very expensive, and very tourist oriented given the food selection and overall feeling of "this is expensive."
I'm planning a trip to Tokyo in June! Definitely checking this out.
@NEStalgia Saw some of the prices at their website. About $16 or $17 for the main meals. That's not really bad considering it's unique.
@Iacobus Compared to full service restaurants that's certainly not bad, but for what you seem to get here, yeah, that's extremely pricey, but in line with what I'd expect for a major tourist attraction.
@NEStalgia Check the first comment from @Late. You can try making some of your own Pokémon themed food.
But yeah the actual experience itself would be pretty amazing too.
Is that a Gengar inhabiting the body of a Clefairy or something?
@Ernest_The_Crab Technically the thought of actually eating various Pokemon is slightly stomach churning.....and yet I can't escape wanting to....
Some of that looks really good, but I'm assuming it'll all be on the pricey side. Plus, half a continent and a huge ocean separate me from partaking of this awesomeness....
