“GUNDAM Cafe TOKYO BRAND CORE” reborn as a hands-on entertainment restaurant facility

2020.07.14

The official GUNDAM Cafe “GUNDAM Cafe Akihabara” developed by BANDAI SPIRITS will be expanded to four times the size as “GUNDAM Cafe TOKYO BRAND CORE” on July 31, 2020 (Friday). Then, it will be opened as a new facility.

“GUNDAM Cafe TOKYO BRAND CORE” is a completely new experience-based entertainment restaurant facility where the world of Gundam’s works and the real world intersect.
It is a futuristic space that reflects the Gundam worldview. It is composed of four areas: a “restaurant area”, “Zeon’s Diner TOKYO”, “goods shop”, “fortune Latte Cafe”.

The “restaurant area” located in the center of the facility is like the dining room inside a space battleship. A large multi-monitor with a total length of about 18 m is set up in the restaurant, and the scenery outside the window of the space battleship such as outer space is projected so that you can enjoy your meal while immersed in the world view of Gundam.

In addition, at this restaurant, customers will become members of Gundam works and enjoy the special menu “G DIMENSIONS EX DINNER SHOW” created by characters, as well as various show events related to Gundam. We plan to hold a hands-on program like never before.

“Zeon’s Diner TOKYO” is a hands-on diner where you can enjoy entering the world of the Principality of Zeon. A huge table in the center of the store is subjected to interactive projection to express the outer space. MS (mobile suit) will sort out from the ordered food and you can enjoy the battle simulation with the meal.

The “Goods Shop” sells GUNDAM Cafe original merchandise, including limited items at this facility.
At “fortune Latte Cafe”, we will offer a take-out menu centering around printed drinks full of entertainment, including drinks with original clear bottles.
