Gundam Cafe


The Gundam Cafe in Akihabara... One Japan's many otaku Meccas.

Loaded with Gunpla showcases (and people), the Gundam Cafe offers up Gundam-themed food and drink, as well as a giant LCD flat panel that juxtaposes advertisements for Gunpla with clips from various Gundam series. Trivia segments are also thrown in for good measure.

I ordered up the Char meal, which is very similar to the Amuro meal. The difference is that Char's comes with red sauce; Amuro's comes with white.


Note the use of carrot to create the fin on Char's Zaku head, not to mention the carrot Zeon emblem. Looking at the food, I was fearful of experiencing "Char's Counterattack", however, there were no digestive anomalies.

While I was disappointed that the wait staff did not dress in Federation or Zeon uniforms, and the girl at the counter wasn't very cheerful, it was really cool to go. ありがとう、ひろゆき!
