Long time no blog! I have been putting off my recent travel posts due to just life, work, new work, etc. but now, I wanted to get this post up before the end of this event! While I was in Tokyo, I just so happened to find out via Instagram that there was a Pochacco Café popup there for a short time and it just so happened to be in the time frame I was there AND in the same area I was staying in! Fate could not have been more on my side as previously, I had no idea this was coming and also, if you know me, Pochacco is my life! My all-time childhood to adulthood favorite character. The cafe is only open for 4 more days so if you are in Tokyo and you see this post, YOU MUST GO!
I was with my mom, aunt, and new friend Sayaka, and was able to try a few items on the menu! Of course, I wanted to order EVERYTHING, but I got the main items. I also made sure we made it early so we didn't have to wait in line as we were going to Puroland later that day (that post will come soon!).
First up was this jelly cotton candy faced drink. Not gonna lie, I got it for the Pcohacco face, haha, but it was actually quite good, though a little bit too sweet, even for me. Side note, yes I just so happened to have brought a Pochacco shirt with me and how PERFECT was it to wear on this day.
Now on to the actual meal! My friend and I both got the cute little sleeping Pochacco in an egg omlette sleeping bag. My mom and aunt both got the Pochacco face in curry. I will say, Japan does their eggs better than anyone else. I am not a fan of scramble/omlettes, but I love when they do it. It was served with a zesty tomato sauce with ham and bell pepper star/moon shapes. Japanese curry is another favorite of mines too since it is mellow and now overly spicy. I actually enjoyed this one better overall, but I was still happy over my choice!
Last up was of course, dessert! Pochacco ice cream parfait topped with marshmallows and pocky sticks. I liked this treat better than the drink above, but honestly, because it was all Pochacco themed, I loved it all, haha.
Apologies on how late this post is and with the short time frame that the cafe will be open, but if you love Pochacco as much as me and you're in Tokyo, YOU HAVE TO GO!
It was honestly one of the biggest highlights to my trip because not only am I utterly obsessed with Pochacco, but it felt like I was living my childhood dreams and it was all unexpected.
Thank you all for your patience with my posts and I hope to share more with you all soon!
