Summary
A bar in Japan has been met with a wave of attention online, as a customer shares that they were given custom cocktails based on their favourite TCG cards.
TCG & Board Game Cafe & Bar Fun, a bar right near Akihabara, has shared a bunch of its work online, showing how it reflects each card in its drinks. They make them based on any card game too, although it looks like customers mostly stick withPokemonandYu-Gi-Oh!cards.
Japanese Bar Makes TCG-Themed Cocktails
Cafe & Bar Fun got wider attention outside of Japan after Twitter user @redbeantofu shared two of the cocktails that were made for them when they visited, based on two differentPokemon cards. One is inspired by Sylveon, and the other is based on Snom, both of which use their colourings. Apparently, they tasted pretty good too, which is a nice bonus.
However, this isn’t a one-off from the bar. Over on their own Twitter page, they’ve shared a range of examples of the kinds of cocktails they’ve created, and there are plenty of examples from other card games too.
As the name suggests, the bar specializes in TCG games. They have their own cards there and invite customers to come in and play, but if you happen to be near Akihabara and have cards on you, it might be worth giving a go to see what kind of cocktail they come out with.
And if you were wondering, alas, it doesn’t look like this will work with anything other than TCG cards. The Twitter user who originally brought the bar to wider attention says they tried to get the bartender to make something based on a singer’s photocard, but they said this was too difficult. With that said, that sounds like a huge business opportunity.
