Taste the flavours enjoyed by the characters, who’ll be serving customers in costume for a limited time!
Japan’s Gundam Cafes are on the radar of anime fans at any time of the year, but this autumn, there’s even more reason to visit, thanks to a new limited-time “Gundam Cafe Costume Collection” event.
The new campaign sees a number of characters from the series dressed up in Gundam Cafe uniforms, with the characters chosen by customer’s votes, which were collected between 28 May and 30 June this year.
The six characters waiting to greet customers at Gundam Cafe Tokyo Brand Core are:
▼ Hathaway Noa, Shiro Amada, Amuro Ray, Quattro Bajeena, Garma Zabo, and Banagher Links.
The character boards will be placed at the entrance and in front of the cash register, to make it seem like the pilots are actually working there, welcoming customers to the cafe.
▼ Characters appear in different locations around the cafe from day to day to keep things interesting.
Customers aren’t just being treated to brand new looks from their favourite characters, but meals eaten by them in the series as well. Unlike a lot of themed cafes, which feature food and drinks containing motifs from anime series, these new menu items are actual reproductions of drinks and meals seen in the Gundam anime.
▼ The new offerings look just like the ones from the anime.
Let’s take a look at some of the meals that have made the jump from Gundam into the real world below.
Argama Onboard Meal (1,650 yen [US$14.52])
The tray of food eaten by Quattro and Kamille in episode 32, Unidentified Mobile Suits, from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam has been perfectly replicated here, right down to the thickness of the meat and the red label on the milk carton.
Pilot Lunch for Garma (1,430 yen)

The Gundam Cafe Costume Collection 2021 Autumn event will run from 22 October to 30 November, with the full menu available at Gundam Cafe Tokyo Brand Core, while Gundam Square will be offering the
The following character drinks come with a free coaster and will be available during the same period at Gundam Cafe Tokyo Brand Core, Gundam Square, and the Gundam Cafes at Odaiba and Fukuoka.
This autumn is shaping up to be a mecha one for the franchise, which recently unveiled its second real-life, full-scale Gundam statute in Tokyo.
The new limited-time event will surely come as good news for fans of the anime, especially after the country’s biggest Gundam Cafe, which opened in Osaka in 2019, sadly closed its doors in March this year.
