Pokemon cafe

In March or April.. can't remember.. a new Pokemon cafe was opened in Nihonbashi close to Tokyo Station. Next to the cafe it also hosts a big Pokemon center.

We went there last week, I was thrilled I managed to get us a table. If you haven't heard it's is not easy to get a table. To be sure you should make a reservation. And the reservation page is all in Japanese. So for foreigners it's not as easy.

You can also go and hope they do have seats. When we were there they had a few "counter" seats for singles, actually it's a long giant table but made for "singles" of course if they have multiple seats you can go as a group but you might not get to sit next to each other.

The menu is not so big and quite pricey. Food was ok taste but nothing special.

However it was great it came out as a pokemon character.

You order items from an Ipad and you can make orders throughout the meal, Last order needs to be made before your last 30 min. Each seating is 90 min.

The coffee was way overpriced, 8 USD for a coffee and a mini cookie!!!

But I got a coaster in plastic, I was lucky to get a Snorlax one!

The cafe also sells special goods but nothing special.

it was fun to visit and to see Pikachu.

If you are a Pokemon fan, this cafe is a MUST visit!!!

Goodies from Korea

Last Friday morning it rang on the door.

The postman delivered a super big parcel to us.

These are the personal goodies I wanted, we also got foods.. instant ramyun.

Anyway these are some of the goodies I really wanted for some time.

I'm so happy to have received.

I cannot wait to try them out!! ^^

Lots of Pokemon stuff, the tubes look really cute..hehe

福袋 (Fukubukuro)

This could be great but it could also be a disaster!
I have never been in Japan on New Years so I have never had the chance to get one.
I'm talking about the Japanese Fukubukuro (Grab bags) or Lucky Bags as they are also known as.
Most stores sells them, they come at different prices depending on brands and items.
Clothes usually cost 10 000 yen (10 800yen w tax) and some also comes at 5000 yen.
You usually knows one or two items at least but the rest is a surprise.
As said in the beginning, it could be AWESOME but it could be a disappointment so be sure when buying.
I heard Apple had these in Japan a few years ago, I'm not an apple fan but the bags were awesome, they cost around 30 000yen but you got things worth 70 000-150 000yen!! IPod was the usual one, but some got IPads and MacBooks! as well as great headphones, speakers etc. Worth every single penny!!

This year after seeing videos on Youtube, I wanted Pokemon, Starbucks, Cecil McBee, Sanrio and Samatha Vega.
I thought Ingni and Lowry's Farm would have had been nice but after seeing the bags I was disappointed. And those two brands are among my fave!!
Also, note that quality is not always the best, some clothes stores make special items for these bags but sometime you get awesome things too... it's a lottery!

I hope that some day I will be able to get one ^^
See the Pokemon one below... looks awesome!

Pokemon GO!

The world is going crazy!
That this is needed is insane, unless it's a joke..haha
Anyway, everyday since Pokemon GO was released I've heard all weird things, I wonder what's true and what's not..

Have you tried it?

I'm tempted but it seems quite dangerous ^^::
