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
#Legend. I love seeing Pokémon Center merch! I was in the exact same one three years ago and got lost on the way of finding it - so your directions are useful!
Chris laughing while eating will forever be a mood! The Hisuian Growlithe Dessert is so detailed, I'd love to try it. Also it would be awesome to check out the latte art!
Omg!!! I NEED to go to this Pokemon Cafe! I'm a proud first generation Pokemon Master. My first Pokemon was Charmander. Who else here is a proud first generation Pokemon master?
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.
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?
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!
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
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
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!
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).
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! 🥰
Legends! I want the pokemon sushi. The whole dish looks good. Thanks for posting this today I'm on the edge of needing hospitalization for mental health problems and this video was the first comforting thing I could find.
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
I would love to go there, that's on my bucket list, how many theme restaurants are there ? And we're is the best place to stay if I want to explore the city and go to Disney.and how many days do you recommend I should stay to explore? Thank you for sharing you videos so interesting.
Awesome Pokemon stuff! I want to go to the Pokemon Cafe and any Sailor Moon Cafe but right now I have to wait for Japan to open back up for international travelers. Will you be checking out the Sailor Moon stuff coming to Universal Japan this year? Legends
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
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!
Hiiii! Not New un your channel but I suscribe, love every video that You have Made. And this one is SO SO yummy and beautiful, it's good to know how it's the foods in those cafes
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 ?
Thank you for sharing this video. I’m currently playing Pokémon Legends and I would totally get the purple potion bottle. Did the potion bottle had candy inside of it?
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.
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.
Honestlt i wish they had a pokemon cafe here where i live id love to just go and eat there and have fun and even try to catch more pokemon on my shwitch lol
Legends! Pika pika pikachu... i love all of things pokemon! Love the food, it looks tasty and great job buying that keychain! Ahh I also want one. Someee dayy! Lol
Yes! I hope the borders gonna open soon. I really wish to travel and explore Japan esp the Universal Studio. Thank you as always. You make my day filled with joy with your videos. Always take care Chris. God Bless.
After going once i thought I’d be content not going again, but over the years they’ve been putting limited time dishes on their menu with every holiday and game release 😩 I hope I can go again during a new game release.
Damnit, why don't I live in Japan lol I have been trying to learn the language and I am in a "in demand" profession, but man is it hard to get a holiday nevermind go there to live lol It's the stuff of Legends
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!
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!
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.
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.
Legends! can't wait to go back to Japan.. i really want to try that Hisuian Growlithe cake. Last time I was there, I had a Mew drink with marshmellows and a slowpoke cake. I should try savory food next time
hi Chris I love Pokemon but it has been a long time since a play videogames my last console was play station 1 and m y sister had xbox 360 I need to play again 🦒

@@tdrexplorer Are you able to ask if you can have a knife and fork as well? Just curious...
Chris laughing while eating will forever be a mood! The Hisuian Growlithe Dessert is so detailed, I'd love to try it. Also it would be awesome to check out the latte art!
Omg!!! I NEED to go to this Pokemon Cafe! I'm a proud first generation Pokemon Master. My first Pokemon was Charmander. Who else here is a proud first generation Pokemon master?
Me

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.
Play since the red edition came out for the gameboy. First Pokemon was Charmander. Still have it and my old Gameboy is still working.
Me too!!!
absolutely love themed Cafes! We went to a Gudetama cafe back in 2019! super fun food and drink!
They're a lot of fun to check out! Thank you for watching :)
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! :)
Thank you for watching, Aki! The desserts were adorable.
Stuck at home due to a Really bad snow storm but seeing Chris happily enjoying Pokemon shaped food has made my day❤️.
Thank you for watching, Heather! Please stay safe in the snow storm.
I love how you start out your videos with a giggle, I wanted to try the drink! Legends 🍧
Thank you for watching, Jackie! I try to have as much fun as I can, that's what it's all about right? haha.
Legends was fun! And thanks for the great video! Cant wait to visit Japan again 😩🧡

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.
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！！
The Cyndiquil drink is about the most adorable thing I've ever seen! 😍
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?
Legends. This is a great video! And I'm glad that you bought the keychain!
Thank you for watching! I couldn't resist the keychain.
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!
Thank you for watching! Nooooo, I haven't what are they??
@@tdrexplorer they’re best described as looking like Funko Pops but Lego. Immediately thought of you when I saw them!
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.
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
Wow!!!!
Hope I could enjoy something similar sometime.
Thanks for sharing 😁
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
This is literally so cool! Didn't know the PokeCafes would also be included in marketing new games 😄
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!
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!!
I love roasted green tea so much and this delivered! Thank you for watching :)
Matcha is the best way to go!!!
I love this! Please "take us" to all the cute character cafes for meal vlogs?
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).

Thank you for watching, Joshua. I'm happy to hear you found some comfort in this video. Stay strong, you got this!
@@tdrexplorer Thanks for replying! I just started taking Japanese this week. I'm trying to be hopeful I get to visit someday.
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

Excited to go to the cafe. There used to be a sort of Picachu show. You didn't see it?
I was just watching your detective Pikachu video! Thank you for sharing this. 😀✨
Haha, that's awesome! Thank you for watching, Paola!
Awesome Pokemon stuff! I want to go to the Pokemon Cafe and any Sailor Moon Cafe but right now I have to wait for Japan to open back up for international travelers. Will you be checking out the Sailor Moon stuff coming to Universal Japan this year? Legends
I have every intention of experiencing Sailor Moon at USJ! I'm super excited about that. Thank you for watching!
Love your videos Chris! Hope to visit all these place in the future! Keep it up!
everything looked so yummy! can't wait to go on my text trip to Japan
Thank you for watching, Giovanni! I can't wait for you to try it on your next trip too!
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

I miss Japan so much! I still have my plush Chef Pikachu from this cafe
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 ?
I always love his pure joy in these videos lol amazing
Super cute, i would love to check one of these out some day for the food and experience overall. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching, Allan! Yes, you need to experience this one day!
6:13 Ok this looks fantastic.
Thank you for sharing this video. I’m currently playing Pokémon Legends and I would totally get the purple potion bottle. Did the potion bottle had candy inside of it?
Thank you for watching! I think it did, I looked too quickly and didn't take note.
@@tdrexplorer That would be awesome if it did. The potion bottle looks exactly like in the game. The whole store looks amazing 😩🙌💖
The pokeball keychain is cool. I would totally get that if I didn't already sculpt a Wing Ball outta clay :D
Legends....got to catch them all..:) from Burbank California
I been to this exact Pokémon cafe couple years ago . ❤
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 RUclips haha.
Thanks for this. Legends
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.

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.
I really need to get to Japan
Legends! Thanks for another great video!
Thank you for watching all the way to the end, Jenna!
Thank you for this video! I have really gotten the traveling bug but, am trying really really hard not to. This helps.
Thank you for watching!
Hi new subscriber. I love how cute growlithe dish and rowlet food mat.

TDR, love it,epic channel~all th ebest.
Thank you for watching :)
That tea looks delicious 😭💜
It was a fun roasted green tea latte! The syrup was a nice touch and the mochi!! Thank you for watching :)
Chris we watch you every night!! Love your content and personality😘😍
Legend! Everything looks so cute and yummy 🤤
Thank you so much for watching, Krissie!
Awesome video! Legends
Legend! Thank you for watching, Elaine!
After going once i thought I’d be content not going again, but over the years they’ve been putting limited time dishes on their menu with every holiday and game release 😩
I hope I can go again during a new game release.
I thought the same thing! I love these little additions, it makes me smile. Thank you for watching!
Where did you get your shirt?! I’m already addicted to cakeworthy because of you 😂
I got it from Kenji Clothing in Australia back in 2018. I think they were exclusive. Thank you for watching, Katelyn!
Why didn’t they make potato mochi a item? They sure eat a lot of it in the legends game(play it, seriously it’s so good)
I definitely want to try to recreate the Cyndaquil dish looks so yummy and cute
Watching this while I'm taking a break from playing the game right now haha🤣
Hahah, that's awesome! Thank you for watching, Stephanie!
Legends! I want to try that dessert--it looks so cute & delicious!!!
LEGENDS That dessert looked so good!
Is there hisuian zorua in pokemon cafe remix
Damnit, why don't I live in Japan lol I have been trying to learn the language and I am in a "in demand" profession, but man is it hard to get a holiday nevermind go there to live lol It's the stuff of Legends
Is the booking online only because of covid or for generally? Like before covid
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!
@@tdrexplorer no worries mate, thanks for the reply 😀 that's good to know when Japan is open again
LEGENDS. I would try everything.
Thank you for watching, Rickcel! I think I need to go back to try the other dishes.
The food names are chefs 😘
0:39 woah, it's weird seeing snorlax's mouth open when he is not yawning
Do they have a separate allergy menu?
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.

Is there any vegetarian options?
if i ever go to Tokyo, i'm definetly coming here!!
Everything looks great! I wish I could go there…
Legends. I wish I could see the coffee.
I want the Arceus phone case so bad, but I can't find anyone selling them 😢
PLEASE open the country…I have tickets for October and got my booster shot a LONG time ago.
That Oshawott drink looked so good
And the price of the keychain? 🥺
It was 1100 yen or about $10. Thank you for watching!
never realized how the pokeball looks like it has a zipper even tho its meant to be a clasp
Que hermoso lugar y que tierno. Amo tus videos gracias por compartir
I couldnt enjoy to eat a pokemon even knowing its food XD Amazing video
That phone case is super dope.
Just checked the calendar and it’s totally booked for November! Ahhh! So sad! Legends
Oh no! I was able to get a reservation at the end of the month but it was very slim pickings. I'm going for the limited time Scarlet and Violet menu!
When do we reach the level of "Too cute to eat", I wonder?
Legend
I wanna try the matcha drink
Legends! can't wait to go back to Japan.. i really want to try that Hisuian Growlithe cake. Last time I was there, I had a Mew drink with marshmellows and a slowpoke cake. I should try savory food next time
Im a 1st Gen Master.
My 1st pokemon was Squirtle.
SQUIRTLE SQUAD! He was my first too :) Thank you for watching!
I'm really surprised they didn't have potato mochi on the menu 😣
About $20 for a gimmick rice plate? Pass for me
That opening cracked me up
Legend! 🇬🇧✌️
hi Chris I love Pokemon but it has been a long time since a play videogames my last console was play station 1 and m y sister had xbox 360 I need to play again 🦒
