There’s just so much to do. In this post, we’ll look at a highly entertaining pastime for all anime fans: visiting anime-themed cafes and restaurants.

 

Permanent Anime Cafes

 

Sailor Moon Restaurant

Sailor Moon is one of the most well-known anime series of all time, and it piqued the curiosity of many people in Japan and Japanese culture. The cafe launched in August of 2019 and has been a huge hit since then.

So, let’s begin with the most crucial aspect of all: food! To begin with, every one of the food and drink is decorated in a sailor moon theme, so no matter what you choose, it will be super cute.

Every month, the cafe’s menu varies. The cafe offers two distinct menus: one for lunch and another for dinner.

There are some gifts for you too:

“COASTER: With every order, you will receive an original Sailor Moon Coaster. There are a total of 6 to collect!

PLATE: You can keep the Sailor Moon themes plates that your food is served on as they place a paper on it so it is clean.

LUNCH BOX: Ordering off the lunch menu will get you a FREE Sailor Moon-themed lunch box.”

 

The Live Shows in the Cafe

Actors dressed as various characters from the anime perform in the live shows. They primarily dance and sing along to music, so don’t be concerned if you don’t understand Japanese because they don’t speak it. Unfortunately, live shows are not available during the lunch hour, so if you really want to see one, you’ll have to go during dinner time.

There are lots of cafes so we cant able to provide link so please check out the google and if want to need to go to any particular cafe let us know in comment section.

Let’s look at the tickets now:

Before you go, you must reserve your tickets in advance on the official website. However, the website states that you do not have to pay until after your dinner.

The prices depend on 2 things that are whether you are visiting the cafe at lunchtime or dinner time and how good of a seat you want for the show.

Lunch Time (12:00 – 13:30) : Cost of the tickets is 3,500yen which includes 1 food item and 1 drink. Extra food and drink must be paid for separately. “

“Dinner Time (16:00 – 22:40): Cost of the tickets is 8,500yen for an ‘S’ seat which is a better view of the show. And this includes the show charge, 1 food item, and 1 drink. For an ‘A’ seat, the cost of the tickets is 7,500yen and this again includes the show charge, 1 food item, and 1 drink.”

 

Gundam Cafe

The Gundam Cafe is a must-see destination in Akihabara’s otaku area. The front of the cafe is decked with incredible statues and exhibits, but the inside is a sit-down cafe serving modest Gundam-inspired food. While the cafe, like many others, is meant for a quick bite on the go, it does serve some outstanding dishes.

All customers are greeted with enthusiastic greetings from the moment the cafe opens at 10:00 a.m. Their robotic menu is available for you to enjoy. The dishes are garnished in the style of the Gundam robot you choose. There is a range of Gundam-themed foods available in the cafe.

A bowl of curry with robot-cut vegetable garnishing costs roughly 1200 yen, with extra toppings ranging from 50 to 100 yen. A bowl of salad and other appetizers might cost anywhere from 430yen to 630yen, depending on your preferences. From 5:00 pm till closing time, legal-age visitors can quench their thirst with their original Gundam-themed cocktails.

If you’re looking for something unique to take home to your family, Gundam Cafe offers unique souvenir foods and snacks. For example, the manju shaped like Gundam robots and the Gunpla-yaki, a fun finger meal inspired by their original 1/144 model kit. These one-of-a-kinds, easy-to-make treats will satisfy your needs for soft and crunchy crusts filled with delightfully sweet cream or bean paste.

So, when your body clock says it’s time to eat, go to Gundam Cafe. When you can eat and play with Gundam Wings, satisfying your appetite will never be a distraction from your childlike fantasies.

Sanrio Character Cafes

Some of the most popular permanent character cafes are Pompompurin Cafe, Hello Kitty Cafe, and Cinnamoroll Cafe.

 

Pompompurin Cafe

The PomPomPurin Cafe in Harajuku, which opened in 2014, was the first PomPomPurin themed cafe in Tokyo. Even though three other cafes have opened in the city since then, it is still the busiest, to the point where the staff distributes “no-queuing tickets” every morning before opening to limit the number of customers. The cafe offers a child-like environment that will appeal to kids and adults who are still young at heart, with yellow and brown tones to match the little dog’s coat, walls filled with photographs of iconic Sanrio characters, and tablecloths with PomPomPurin on them. 

The PomPomPurin Cafe cuisine is appropriate for any budget. A broad and unique menu is available here, with lunch sets starting at roughly 1,250yen. Indeed, the cafe pays homage to Japanese cuisine’s great classics while adding its own unique twists. The chicken-coconut curry, which is a spin on the standard Japanese curry available in all themed cafes in Tokyo, is the most recommended meal among the numerous charming items on the menu.

The cafe serves a selection of charming PomPomPurin-themed pastries and ice creams. Not to mention the character’s name-giving dessert: a little pot of caramel custard pudding topped with a chocolate beret!

 

Hello Kitty Cafe

Cafe de Miki is a Hello Kitty cafe in Tokyo’s Koto district. Because the cafe is on the artificial island of Odaiba, it is normally quite quiet. This makes it a great location to go if you want to socially isolate yourself from other people while still consuming treats. The style of the interior is shockingly sleek and modern. Many people love speaking quietly with friends or family while relaxing at the cafe.

Of course, people go there because of the Hello Kitty decorations on the food and drinks. Desserts cost around 1,000 yen each and come in a large quantity. They’re all made with care and attention to detail to create a kawaii feast for the eyes.

A popular choice is fluffy pancakes. For example, a mango pancake dessert plate with ice cream and fruit bits, as well as pancakes topped with mango cream, is available.

There are a lot of matcha items on the menu. This matcha latte and traditional Japanese ice cream dish with mochi, whipped cream, and anko sweet beans are available. During the warm Japanese summer, ice cafe lattes and ice cream cones are popular choices.

Tea sets for the afternoon are also available for around 2,000 yen. If you want to experience a lot of different things and share them with someone, this is a good option. There are other savory options on the menu, such as this one, in which the pancakes are topped with eggs and bacon. If you’ve worked up an appetite wandering around Odaiba, this is a big dinner.

 

Cinnamoroll Cafe

While most character cafes are only open for a limited period, the Cinnamoroll Cafe is a “permanent” character cafe. It’s on the 1F Shinjuku Marui Anex, about a 6-minute walk from Shinjuku station. The interior’s natural theme produces a really soothing ambiance.

The cafe is adorned with Cinnamoroll, a Sanrio character, and serves a full menu of Cinnamoroll-themed cuisine and beverages.

The cafe wows fans with incredibly adorable meals like the Cinnamon no Mogumogu Salad Plate and Cinnamon Special Shortcake, in addition to its earthy and wood-heavy decor. In addition to Omu Rice, Beef Stroganoff, Special Shortcake, and other seasonal meals, the cafe serves cute, enticing Cinnamoroll-themed Omu Rice, Beef Stroganoff, Special Shortcake, and some seasonal foods.
