Food is the way to one’s heart, and gaming enthusiasts are no exception to the rule. It stands to reason, then, that Capcom is celebrating the launch of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion with a themed menu in Japan, which will feature plenty of drinks, meal, and dessert options, as well as other character goodies.
Hosted at the Capcom Café outlets in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro and Saitama’s Koshigoya, the event is set to run from 26 August to 6 October. Prices start from 880 yen (US$6.40 / S$8.95), with some of the menu highlights as follows:
- Malzeno’s Black Pasta (1,870 yen [US$13.70])
- Lunagaron’s Refreshing Ramune Kakigori (1,540 yen)
- Fluffy Bunny Dango Set (1,540 yen)
- Malzeno’s Blood Blight Drink (880 yen)
- Find the Hidden Utsushi! Green Tea (880 yen)
- Palamute’s Hot Cocoa (880 yen)
- Chichae’s Frozen Yogurt (880 yen)
For those who want to explore other items, there are also Garangolm Doughnuts, Gore Magala Calzones, Astalos Paralyzing Eggplant Tantanmen Noodles, Palico Houjicha Tea Parfaits, and more to delight the taste buds. Certain offerings can be topped up with a Fluffy Bunny Dango cup and plate set as well, which comes at an additional 3,300 yen (US$24.17 / S$33.57).
The themed café experience isn’t complete without accompanying merchandise, however, and here, diners get to bring lunch mats and coasters home. A meal purchase comes the above lunch mat, while every drink purchase yields one out of 10 coasters, two of which are mystery designs. Lastly, every 3,000 yen spent will give visitors the choice to choose from 19 postcard variations.
Interested parties may reserve seats online for either the Saitama or Ikebukuro locations between now and 6 October, but if you want to take things up a notch and immortalise food into permanent keeps, there are the utterly bizarre raw and cooked meat pillows up for grabs.
