Pompompurin with his characteristic yellow body and brown beret. You'll typically see him on many products across Japan, and maybe even in some of the shopping districts across the country. His popularity knows no limits taking the top spot out of all Sanrio Characters a lot of the time. Pompompurin is now collaborating with the popular Akihabara maid cafe "At Home Cafe" to create a join-facility filled with the latest in Japanese pop culture opening in Takeshita-Dori, Harajuku, Tokyo. Our editorial team took a trip to POMPOMPURIN Cafe to see what it was all about!
Welcome to the Party Prepared by POMPOMPURIN!
Once you reach POMPOMPURIN cafe, the first thing you'll notice is that it has been designed in the image of a party created by POMPOMPURIN where he's inviting all his friends. To please all of the POMPOMPURIN fans from around the world, the utmost effort has been put into the design of the cute menu available here. Let's head inside!
Greeted by POMPOMPURIN and Maids at POMPOMPURIN Cafe!
As you enter the cafe, you'll be merilly greeted by the maids and a huge POMPOMPURIN. You can also find muffin, whip, and many more of POMPOMPURIN's friends around the cafe.
The interior of the cafe is yellow and brown similar to POMPOMPURIN! The customization around the cafe is world-class level and it really shows. There are 2 and 4-person tables, as well as sofa sheets, adhering to all types of groups that visit. There are lamps, wallpaper, tables, chairs, and many more items throughout the store that have been made in the shape of POMPOMPURIN.
Enjoy the Hospitality of the Maids
When you enter the store, the maids will greet you with a hearty "Irashaimase" before guiding you to your table and providing you with the menu while explaining the cafe's systems. If you're struggling with what to order, simply ask the maids for some advice!
Original POMPOMPURIN Menu Items Perfect for Instagram! They're so Cute!
There are so many different items offered on the POMPOMPURIN Cafe menu including meals, sweets, and drinks. They're all extremely cute and perfect for any of your SNS channels!
If there's one we highly recommend, it has to be the omelet rice, which depicts POMPOMPURIN sleeping with a blanket over him and the night sky with stars surrounding it. We're sure you agree there's hardly anything cuter than this!
Other rice-based menu items include butter chicken curry where you can see POMPOMPURIN in the center looking very happy, as well as the colorful and flowery crab omelet on rice.
Parfaits and Sweets Galore!
Another product we'd highly recommend is the pudding. It's in a POMPOMPURIN cup, is delicious and rich, and has a smooth texture. The beret section is made out of chocolate cookie which adds to the overall flavour!
There's also the PURIN Shiny Parfait which has many eye-catching decorations, is filled with chocolate sauce, chocolate banana waffles, and more. There's nothing better for people who love eating desserts.
Finally, we want to introduce our most recommended drink. This drink has a mini POMPOMPURIN sitting on top alongside other decorations, the "PURIN Custard Pudding Latte" and "PURIN Mango Lassi". They're all just sweet enough, and before you know it you'll have drunk the whole thing.
