I Choose You-- From the Menu! The Pokémon Café in Osaka, Japan

"Everybody's Favourite Pikachu" Set Meal.

Pokémon has always been a big hit in our household. I remember waiting in front of the television set every Friday night as a kid in 1999 for the cartoon to start. I remember collecting the cheap Pokémon cardboard cards that came with a one-peso packet of puffed cheese crisps because the whole point of the game was to "collect them all," emulating the show's catchphrase "Gotta catch 'em all!". I had the merchandise and the games. I could recite all of the Pokémon from Generation 1 in numerical order. Needless to say, I was a big fan. And to this day, I still am.

So during our visit to Osaka in Japan, we could not pass up the opportunity to visit the infamous Pokémon Café to treat ourselves to exclusive merchandise, novelty dining, and meet the dancing Pikachu of our dreams!
