Gundam Cafe
After an 11-year-run of anime-themed food and giant robot merch, it’s last call at the Gundam Cafes.
Taste the flavours enjoyed by the characters, who’ll be serving customers in costume for a limited time!
Only a few weeks left to visit the idol singer eatery, plus possibly one more Akihabara landmark.
Anime eatery’s first branch in central Japan offers exclusive food and merch for mecha fans.
The countdown is still ticking for Gundam Café’s third strike on Tokyo Station this 20 December. However, the execs at Bandai Namco Holdings have already leaked plans to target all major urban markets across Japan with their unique blend of coffee, pasta, and bipedal war machines.
So if you live in a major city such as Osaka, Nagoya, or Hiroshima, you might get your hands on a Haro latte sooner than you think.
