In Japan, the Pikachu Cafe celebrates the yellow fun-loving Pikachu Pokemon that was popularized nearly a decade ago. Opening this weekend in Tokyo, the Pickachu Cafe is set to serve up explicitly Pickachu-themed foods that are designed to recreate the popular anime monster entirely out of edible ingredients.
The Pikachu Cafe is a great place for fans of the Pokemon games, cards and television series to hang out. The cafe will offer diners a truly once-in-a-lifetime eating experience with a menu that offers unique foods shaped like the cute yellow character. Foodies can choose from foods like the Pikachu curry rice with a yellow rice ball Pikachu face or a mango pudding that recreates the character's body. Many of the foods are yellow and red in color to replicate Pikachu's iconic look.
