Pokémon-Themed Café Opens in Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills

If you’ve ever walked past a themed café wondering what it’s really like inside—beyond the Instagrammable desserts and character cuteness—Tokyo’s latest limited-time pop-up gives you a very specific reason to find out. From July 19 to August 31, a Pokémon-themed café has taken over a space in Roppongi Hills, serving not just photo ops, but an actual menu of Pikachu-inspired food and drinks alongside collectible perks.

The Pokémon café in Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills is open daily from 11:00 to 22:00, with no entry fee. But if you want to visit the Pokémon the Movie XY exhibition inside, which displays original movie artwork and production materials, you’ll need a separate ticket. The café itself is free to enter and enjoy the full menu.

What’s On the Pokémon Café Menu in Tokyo?

The menu features a range of Pikachu-themed dishes and drinks, including a ‘Pikachu 100,000 Volt Parfait’ , along with savoury options such as teriyaki burgers, bread, curry rice, and omelettes. The food isn’t just shaped for show—each item ties into the Pokémon theme with colours, presentation, and names inspired by the franchise.

Pokémon-Inspired Drinks & Collectible Perks

Beyond the food, the café serves fruit-based drinks inspired by Pokémon characters featured in the theatrical films. Each drink comes with a limited-edition coaster featuring the corresponding Pokémon. It’s a small detail, but a big draw for fans looking to take a piece of the experience home.

Where Is the Pokémon Café & What Else Is There?

Located in Tokyo’s bustling Roppongi Hills district, the café offers more than just food. While entry to the café is free, visitors who wish to explore the Pokémon the Movie XY exhibition must purchase a ticket.
