The Gundam Cafe, located in Akihabara, opened it’s doors in April 2010. A year and half later there frequently is a line to get in and have a meal. While a Gundam themed pasta can only purchased on the inside of the cafe, there are still tons of Gundam goodies (many edible) available in the gift shop just next door.

The gift shop is tiny, just a few meters by a few meters, but it’s still packed with all sorts of merchandise. The best part is many of these goods go along with the “cafe” theme and are exclusive to the store. For instance, you can buy Gundam coffee beans or Gundam drip coffee bags. There are also Gundam tea biscuits and chopsticks designed to look like a beam saber. 

Perhaps the coolest item of all is a 1/12 scale, edible beam saber! That’s 70cm (as long as your arm).

Make sure to check out all the Gundam discoveries on FlutterScape and visit the store for yourself next time you’re in Tokyo.
