Residents of Tokyo now get to taste the geekiest dish this side of the planet, as Roppongi sees its first Pikachu Café open.

What you see in this collection of pictures is not just random food with the Pokémon brand slapped in to get a quick buck: this is an actual café’s menu that will be open for a very limited time in Tokyo, in the Roppongi district. It’s called, appropriately so, Pikachu Café, and it will be open between the 19th of July until the 31st of august.

It’s also not only the café that is open, as the Pikachu the Movie XY Exhibit also opens this saturday in Japan with tickets priced at 1,500 yen (US$14.80) for adults. Sounds like a fantastic weekend plan, huh?

Nintendo is notorious for releasing awesome limited edition hardware abroad, but here in the US of A, we tend to get the short end of the joystick. Case in point, the house that ~~Mario~~ Miyamoto built is releasing a Charizard-themed 3DS XL on December 15th in Japan for ¥18,900 ($237). Available exclusively at Pokémon Center stores, aspiring buyers will need to complete an order form and win (yes, win) a drawing for a chance to purchase one of these beautiful monsters. Winners will have from December 15th through January 14th to claim and purchase their prize. As for you unlucky entrants, you'll have the opportunity to indulge in one of America's favorite pastimes -- buying Nintendo collectibles online at an extremely high markup.
