So there are various reasons we at Nintendo Life would like to go to Japan. One of the biggest is all the fancy video game-themed caf\u00e9s dotted around Tokyo. Capcom, Square Enix \u2014 Dragon Quest<\/strong> even gets its own \u2014 there are tons of places to eat and drink that are inspired by your favourite video games, from eating moogle burgers to sipping on t-Virus drinks.<\/p>\n

It’s probably not a surprise to anyone, then, that Pok\u00e9mon also has its own food stores. The Pok\u00e9mon Center in Japan is already a wildly popular destination for natives and tourists, and you can throw the Pok\u00e9mon Caf\u00e9 into the mix with its irresistible treats, like pancakes with a Pikachu tail, rice served in a sleeping Snorlax bowl, and curry inspired by the Galar region.<\/p>\n

Back in December 2019, an offshoot of the Pok\u00e9mon Caf\u00e9 opened its doors called Pikachu Sweets by Pok\u00e9mon Caf\u00e9. Where the main restaurants served both savoury and sweet food, Pikachu Sweets serves up a variety of sugary treats, pastries, coffee, iced drinks, and desserts. The store, which is inside the Pok\u00e9mon Center Mega Tokyo in Ikebukuro, has long been serving up a range of small “Pokefuru” waffles \u2014 waffles that resemble the ears of Plusle, Minun, and Morpeko in both its Fully Belly and Hangry mode. Yet despite it being called “Pikachu” Sweets, the iconic electric mouse didn’t have his own little waffle. Until now.<\/p>\n

Just like his other electric-type friends, Pikachu’s ear waffle (never let us type that out again) is decorated to match the Pokemon, with black tips and bold-yellow colouring. It comes in a little paper bag with a sparkly-eyed Pikachu munching on a Pok\u00e9 Ball cookie. it’s pretty darn cute.<\/p>\n

The Pikachu \u201cPokefuru\u201d Waffle won’t be joining the menu until 11th June, but if you buy the ears with a latte you’ll get a set of adorable little stickers! The waffle on its own will cost 550 yen, which is less that \u00a33.50 \u2014 not bad for a novelty food! Though it’s a little dinky. It depends how resistant you are to cuteness, really. We’re not great at that.<\/p>\n
