Eating at the Pokemon Cafe in Tokyo, Japan! | Pokemon Legends Arceus Food & Merchandise

[@tdrexplorer]

I had a ton of fun recording this one! I think I'll have to head back to try the other items at some point. Should I??? Also, while you're here, if you're into podcasts, make sure you check out our theme park + travel podcast we've been doing since 2014! tdrexplorer.com/podcast

Squirtle here! I got Pokemon Blue for my purple Gameboy Colour in Christmas 98. I don't recall ever being so excited for a video game since.

[@Alita-vv6xz]

Play since the red edition came out for the gameboy. First Pokemon was Charmander. Still have it and my old Gameboy is still working.

absolutely love themed Cafes! We went to a Gudetama cafe back in 2019! super fun food and drink!

[@tdrexplorer]

They're a lot of fun to check out! Thank you for watching :)

[@akienroute]

Thank you for sharing this experience! I miss Japan so much and I wish I could be there to enjoy those treats too😭 Seeing how each plate is decorated made me so happy, especially the dessert. It's just too cute! Legends! :)

I love themed food!~ LEGENDS say that cute themed food makes life much more enjoyably haha. Just randomly using the keyword here lol. I would have love it much more if all were pikachu though. Love pikachu sooo much. And i love the video. Thank you.

[@ViolenziaDomestica]

Greeted by the shiniest of Snorlax 😍❤️🤩 The whole menu looked delicious, thank you for sharing! PS have you seen the new Chip and Dale Brick Headz Lego? So cute!

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching! Nooooo, I haven't what are they??

[@ViolenziaDomestica]

@@tdrexplorer they’re best described as looking like Funko Pops but Lego. Immediately thought of you when I saw them!

[@aisadal2521]

This is literally so cool! Didn't know the PokeCafes would also be included in marketing new games 😄

[@tdrexplorer]

That's what I call synergy! From what I could tell, a lot of the tables around me also got at least one of the seasonal items too. Thank you for watching!

[@Pryhos]

This is so amazing! I love how you zoomed in on the menus. I wish I had a chance to go to the Pokemon Cafe; it looks incredible.

[@OnyxEverAfter]

I miss Japan so much! I still have my plush Chef Pikachu from this cafe

[@missplainjane3905]

Btw, don't mind me asking your perspective on Japan. 1) Do you consider Japan as a highly developed and advanced country ? 2) How would you personally rate Japan (from culture to technology, architecture, food, local products, scenery/landscape, standard of living/quality of life, etc.) on a scale level of 1 to 10 ? 3) How would you overall describe the characteristics of Japanese people ? 4) If you have 3 or more words to describe Japan, what would it be ?

[@paolabueso]

I was just watching your detective Pikachu video! Thank you for sharing this. 😀✨

[@tdrexplorer]

Haha, that's awesome! Thank you for watching, Paola!

[@ojyochan]

I love this! Please "take us" to all the cute character cafes for meal vlogs?

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching, Sarah! If that's something that interests others, I'm more than happy to! I've done a few vlogs in the past like the Kingdom Hearts Cafe back in 2020 (oh gosh that seems so long ago).

[@julianahenrygarcia4805]

Legends!! Ohh I can’t wait to take a trip to Japan. When we plan our trip I’m def going to ask you for your help.

[@Nobody-ss7ks]

i went to japan in 2018 and didnt think of going to a pokemon cafe. i wish i did. when i go back i gotta goo... i went to the pokemon center tho such an amazing experience

[@CardinalRozen]

Thank you for showing the cool Arceus themed food. I came here before the plague started in 2019. Pikachu the chef came out and greeted everyone. Do the mascots still do that?

[@HopeDiamond101]

Legends. This is a great video! And I'm glad that you bought the keychain!

Man I hope they are still doing some of the Legends stuff when we eventually go there. So cool. And definitely need that tip from Tokyo station I feel like we are going to get so lost around train stations in Tokyo

Legends....got to catch them all..:) from Burbank California

[@MrLuigi817]

The cyndaquil drink looked good and I have a habit of sweet stuff, and he's my favorite Pokémon. Hope they open the gates soon!! LEGENDS!!

The pokeball keychain is cool. I would totally get that if I didn't already sculpt a Wing Ball outta clay :D

[@billy_96]

Legends! Loved the video Chris, I never got the opportunity to go to the Pokemon Cafe when I visited in 2019 but had managed to go to the Mega and Skytree Pokemon centers which were amazing! Also I love the new game and the Hisuain Pokeball design/keychain! 🥰

[@akinslogs2453]

We have similar tasteeeee I would’ve ordered the same! Also love houjicha and warabimochi. Can’t wait till I can go back to Japan to try again…cry living vicariously through you

[@judemelody700]

Excited to go to the cafe. There used to be a sort of Picachu show. You didn't see it?

[@barelysuperman]

Last time I was there I got the gengar drink, Pikachu curry rice, arcanine latte art and Eevee Sunday. Wasn't the cheapest of meals, but it was cute AF From your video it sounds so much more mellow, it was so noisy because of the always happening shows

[@tdrexplorer]

I think cause of the state of everything happening, they aren't doing the little shows for the time being. Pikachu didn't come out at all when I was there this time. Thank you for watching!

[@tomatooshima5700]

私はカナダ住んでるけど、日本楽しんでて羨ましい😆笑笑次日本行ったときポケモンカフェいく！！

[@popculturehero]

This is incredibly Gourmet. But I guess its kind of like the ornate bento box culture. Very clever how they break down the colors of the pokemon into ingredients.

[@atinymulti]

i just got the game today so watching this has made me really happy!!

Awww, that makes me happy to hear! Thank you for watching :) Have fun in the game!! I have to get back to it after I get off KZbin haha.

[@SusyRohrscheib]

omg!! i need to go one day! Thanks for sharing. Quick question how hard is it to live in Japan? Are Americans allowed to move to Japan and bring their jobs with them and work virtually? My company is virtual and they would let me work from anywhere just as long as i have internet access. Just curious how hard it would be to get permission once the whole Covid thing was back to normal.

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching! I'm Canadian, so I can only speak to my experience. To live and work here, you'll need a work visa and a company based in Japan that can sponsor your visa. It's best to speak with a professional with specific questions, so don't take this as legal advice haha.

[@marcusmedrano7391]

Legend I wanna try the matcha drink

[@Rain0and0Thunder]

when I went to the pokemon cafe with my fiancee we got turned around, I think we passed the building twice or so looking for it, on the outside until you got close it looked to me just like every other building and even with the gps on my phone I got turned around. I went 2 years ago btw, going back to Japan again next year. XD I do have a question though I wondered from when I went last time. Where in Tokyo is the best place for omirice? The place i went to it was good, but a bit dry.

[@user-yu8vf4ze7h]

Is there any vegetarian options?

[@6656jd8a]

Wow cool

[@mluehs12891]

Do they have a separate allergy menu?

[@tdrexplorer]

I don't know specifically, but my guess is yes. I didn't have time to ask, sadly. Usually how things work is they'll have specific items that are allergen free since they don't alter the other dishes. But, I'm not sure how they do it here specifically, I'm talking generally speaking at cafes and restaurants. I checked the website and it says to ask the staff, I'll have to do that next time I'm there. Thank you for watching!

It's always been online reservations since it opened in 2018. That's how most themed cafes do reservations here. Thankfully, they finally added an English option (it was only in Japanese when it first opened). Thank you for watching!
