On my last trip to Japan, I had a chance to check out the limited pop-up of the One Piece restaurant based on the popular Japanese manga by Eichiro Oda. I got wind of it from a past Topless Robot link and being a HUGE fan of One Piece decided to make it a destination to go when I was there. It was actually kind of hard to get there and the process to go was very typical “Japanese” involving kiosk, reservations and limited amount of seating. But you bite your lip and suck it up since this was a One Piece event!
To eat at the One Piece restaurant you had to book reservations in advance. Like all special Japanese events seating was limited. Apologies in the advanced all pictures were shot on my Iphone.
Dining area:
Sogeking!
It seems like they were raffling off this giant-sized chopper.
I forgot whether or not they served beer. Either way the taps were awesome!
Stuff on the menu:
A mugiwara (strawhat) omlette!
During the time the I was there, Luffy and the gang would make brief interactive voice appearances to talk to the patrons. Chopper voice would later come out to play paper-rock-scissor with the guest and the winner got a prize.
This is what I feasted on:
Going Merry parfait- ice cream with a big piece of toast and blue jello.
All Blue drink- it was some soda concoction with blue jello.
Chicken leg- with the Mugiwara pirate symbol branded on it.
Boba ice tea- the boba was suppose to imitate the rumble balls.
Rumble balls-takoyaki
During the time there, everyone had the opportunity to walk around and take pictures. All in all it was pretty fun, too bad like all things in Japan it was only there for a limited time. By the time of this posting the restaurant is probably gone now. It’s sad that these kind of events come and go so quickly, especially since being overseas your timing has to be just right. Sigh* Thus is the way of pop-ups I suppose.
For those of you who don’t know, or aren’t sure. That’s Sanji’s (From One Piece) voice actor.
The whole thing is in Japanese, but he always posts really cool pictures and such. Hope you enjoy it. :)
I’ve decided to compile a list of tumblr accounts devoted solely to One Piece to put in a new Links page. I’m selfish and picky so I made the ThousandSunnyGo as a place to compile my favorite One Piece related fanart and news, and I’ve seen several tumblrs since doing the same thing. (Haha.)
So if you run a One Piece tumblr submit me a message. I won’t publish it, but I’ll still see it. Feel free to include a one or two sentence blurb about the things you post if you like.
I’m already planning a list and can think of a few at the top of head, so they’ll be included anyway, but if you want to be sure to be included, better to tell me. If the blog is outright not about OP, but simply a personal blog you occasionally post OP related things to, there’s a good chance I won’t add it.
Anyway, look forward to seeing the list (if you’re interested and obsessive like me)!
