We don’t necessarily expect themed cafes to have good food, so we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Pompompurin Cafe’s meals.Ībove: I ordered the Iced Mango Soda – 750 Yen (before tax). Pompompurin’s face was made of yellow rice, and his beret was made of a small piece of hamburger.Ībove: My partner ordered the Rose Meat Roast Beef Bowl – 1,29o Yen (before tax) which he also felt was quite good. It wasn’t the same as the beef stroganoff that I make at home in Australia, but I was quite happy with it.
There is also a recommended menu which appears to be seasonal.Ībove: I ordered Pompompurin’s Mild Tasting Beef Stroganoff – 990 Yen (before tax). Some of the desserts also come with souvenir cups. If you can fit in a dessert, you should definitely consider it, as they look great. I regret that I didn’t order dessert, but I simply couldn’t fit in anymore food after my lunch and drink (which in itself was practically a dessert), and we pack so much into our itinerary that there’s only so much that we can eat at each restaurant… We really eat our way around Tokyo. One way or another, everything that you order will feature Pompompurin. The menu is not huge, but everything that they make is really cute, from the savoury dishes to the desserts and the drinks. (Actually, I kind of knew even before I was given a menu, as I’d looked up the menu on the Pompompurin Cafe website beforehand.) This is always a good idea and can help to speed up the process once you get inside, as by then you should have already chosen what you want to eat. We were handed a menu while we waited in the queue.

(We took care to ensure that we didn’t annoy any of the other customers, of course.)Ī lot of themed cafes and restaurants in Japan do not allow photos, so it’s always a big plus when we find a restaurant that allows this. One of the great things about the Pompompurin Cafe is that they’re happy for guests to take photos. Plenty of effort has gone into making the Pompompurin Cafe look great, so there are lots of things to photograph if, like me, you’re so inclined. In the centre of the restaurant is a large Pompompurin and his best friend, Muffin. Most of the customers were teenaged girls, young women, a couple of families and three girls who brought guys with them. Super kawaii, even! Like many themed cafes, you can expect to find lots of tiny tables seated within close proximity of one another. Something that my partner noticed was that when we visited, there were only three guys in the whole restaurant, himself included. The Pompompurin Cafe is an official Sanrio Cafe, and it’s really cute. Creme caramel pudding is actually Pompompurin’s favourite food, and yes, you can order it at the Pompompurin Cafe. Unlike Hello Kitty who has turned out to be a girl, not a cat (and I’m still dubious about this), Pompompurin is apparently definitely a dog – even though ‘purin’ is Japanese for creme caramel pudding. Pompompurin (ポムポムプリン – also written PomPomPurin or Pom Pom Purin) is a dog – a golden retriever to be exact – who wears a brown beret. No Japanese district filled with youth culture and kawaii can be complete without Sanrio, and what better suburb for one of Sanrio’s cutest characters than Pompompurin? You might have heard of the amazing Kawaii Monster Cafe – it’s also located in Harajuku.
Harajuku (原宿), located within Tokyo, is one of Japan’s most well-known suburbs. It’s famous for its youth culture, over-the-top teen fashion and its kawaii (cute) shops and cafes. Japan is the home of kawaii, themed cafes and Sanrio. One of Sanrio’s cutest characters, Pompompurin has a cafe in the heart of Harajuku, one of the most kawaii suburbs in Tokyo.
