First winning the hearts of kids and adults alike back in 1998, the Pokemon franchise is always keeping up with time and staying relevant. From the launch of Pokemon Go – an augmented reality mobile game – in 2016, to the first live-action Pokemon movie – Pokemon Detective Pikachu – earlier this year, you just can’t escape the adorable Pikachu and his other pocket monster counterparts.
Just last year, Tokyo saw the opening of Pokemon Cafe at Pokemon Centre Nihonbashi. Located near Tokyo Station, this Pokemon Centre has a dedicated theme cafe nestled on the 5th floor of Takashimaya department store. Sleek and modern, the cafe puts comfort first and foremost for all ages and is well-lit and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a wooden floor.
The Pokemon theme does not stop at the décor, it is also incorporated in the food and drink selections. Adults can sip on the Pikachu or Eevee latte, or even enjoy cocktails inspired by the different stages of Eevee evolutions. Comfort food with the Pokemon theme is as delicious as it is adorable, including the Pikachu omelette and Jigglypuff cheese cake.
