Starting on April 24, mecha franchise Gundam is getting an official cafe and bar in Tokyo's Akihabara. Drink up!

There are other "Gundam cafes" across Japan, and they typically feature bars decorated Gundam models or Gundam-themed drinks. This official sixty-seater Gundam cafe will even feature a Gundam coffee blend, among other tasty beverages.

The Gundam Cafe sign reads (in English), "Gundam style's official cafe and bar started since A.D. 2010. Continuing 'till U.C. 0079!" Right on.

Gundam Cafe Opens In Akihabara

There's no place more fitting for a Gundam Cafe than in Tokyo's Akihabara district. Sadly Japanese maids don't draw hearts in syrup over your pancakes or put "love spells" on you like at Maid Cafes...but there are Gundam biscuits!

Akihabara News visited the cafe before its grand opening to the public this Saturday, and has a full collection of photos over on their site. I do not recommend this 29-year old Japanese man look at the site though. It'd bring back too many memories.

Is that a snackwich or a biscuit?

[Frostbite]

I'd say a biscuit

[Cybernet]

Looks like it might be a taiyaki, but with a Gundam pattern rather than the usual fish - usually filled with red bean paste or (as in the one I tried) custard (yum  ).

red bean paste

I've tried a few things with red bean paste (including cakes and muffins) - it's one of the most revolting things I've ever tasted.

Red Bean Nori *gags*

Didn't think it was too bad. Its supposed to be sweet, but I don't really think so. You want to talk about disgusting - Natto is truly revolting - the smell alone is indescribable - I couldn't bring myself to try it! Gekcht  !

Konyaku is also fairly awful, but nowhere near as bad.
