Japanese character merchandising company Bandai announced it would open Gundam Cafe[J] in Akihabara next weekend, in commemoration with the animation series’ 30th anniversary.  The cafe is located just a minute away from JR Akihabara station and under elevated railroads.

The cafe serves Jaburo Coffee which is connected to a story of the series about a fictional military base in Jaburo, Brazil, and Gun-Pla-Yaki or a gundam-shape pancake.

This will be a new must-visit spot for foreign tourists as well.
