Japan's Ramen-themed 'Amusement Park' lets you Travel Back to 1958!

A street-scape replication of 1958 Tokyo.

If anyone were to ask me if there is one Japanese food I could eat every day without fail, I'd probably struggle to respond. After all, Japanese is one of my favourite cuisines in the world and there's no way anyone could favour just one among the likes of pork katsu curry, oyakodon, okonomiyaki, sushi, and karaage. My closest answer, however, would have to be ramen. I will forever be grateful to instant noodles for being a part of my childhood and for saving my life during my college years. While they are still a staple in my pantry to this day, actually tasting the genuine article made me realize that there is more to ramen beyond a cup or a pouch.

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!
