We're always jealous of the stores, restaurants, and pretty much everything else available to Nintendo fans in Japan, and today's no different.
The country's Pokémon Cafes are getting new Sword and Shield-themed menu items, both of which are set to be available from 18th January 2020 for a limited time. The chefs are getting pretty creative too, cooking up a Galarian Weezing dish which is a pancake in a blueberry sauce, and a Morpeko plate featuring an omelette with two different sauces.
Of course, Sword and Shield's starter Pokémon have already been represented. These Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble dishes were first made available on the day of the games' launch - 15th November.
These boring sandwiches we've brought in for lunch are looking pretty miserable compared to all of these delights. Anyone fancy taking a lunch trip to Japan?

It's too good to be eaten. 😭
@Anti-Matter Nah, I'd still eat them.
@BarefootBowser I don't believe it, precisely for the reasons you mentioned. Food in Tokyo (and Japan in general) was spectacularly good no matter where I went. I noticed that when people said it's not good somewhere, or reviewed badly, it ended up being very good still, just not as good as perhaps somewhere else. Standards are very, very high over there.
No filet de karp?
Only the finest Galarian Magikarp will do.
at the game freak cafe they give you a menu with half of the items crossed out
I'd like a raw pikachu with some BBQ sauce please. Oh, and you can have the tail as it gives me heartburn.
Oh that's right, the japanese version of "curry": a plate full of gravy and rice with one bite-sized piece of meat. Two pieces if you're lucky 🙄
I love visiting Japan, but finding a meal with some actual beef in it is sure a mission 🤔
Japan gets all the good stuff. Wish I could teleport 🙁
Mister Doughnut in Japan still has Pokemon-Themed doughnuts and exclusive Dishware available this month.

@finalstan That is actually a very good logic.
I can’t mentally process this as food. It doesn’t look like food to me.
That looks so pretty. Japanese people are really dedicated and detailed to everything they do.
@Prizm is not the point of traveling to do and eat diferent things?
Surely Slowpoke tail is on the menu?
Reason #357388 why I need to get to Japan in my lifetime.
i wonder how many morpeko eggs went into that lovely omelette...
I worked in Japan for four months, and found a third of the food spectacular, a third average, and the final third appalling (which simply means it didn't suit my taste-buds). I unfortunately never got to try any Pokemon shaped meals...
And this is why Pokemon is the best franchise of the last 30 years.
@Prizm I live in Japan, come visit Shiga and I'll show you where you should be eating. Hint: train station curry shops are designed to be quick and cheap.
