Capcom Bar
Must See Places in Japan for Gaming and Anime Lovers
Yes, Capcom has a bar—an entire, alcohol-serving bar. If you want to experience a gaming themed bar but also want to venture outside of Akihabara, you should definitely consider visiting the Capcom Bar in Shinjuku. It’s one of the few bars that will feel far more like what you would expect a bar to feel like in the U.S. and it boasts a menu that pulls inspiration from a wide variety of Capcom’s games. Resident Evil themed cakes look like tiny faux brains while the drinks have garnishes made to look like an eyeball. It may sound gross but when you actually see the menu items, they don’t look hardly realistic enough to make you lose your appetite. If you don’t think you can stomach a brain shaped spongecake, however, there are tons of other options that pay homage to Capcom titles. Other standouts include a pizza inspired by Devil May Cry’s Dante and a unique tea recipe inspired by Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney’s Miles Edgeworth.
