I Have DONE IT! A FULL Book on Anime Food in Japan! Back the Kickstarter now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/chefpk/chefpks-quest-for-the-best-japan

You gave Emily the perfect excuse to spend more time at anime cafes

The bone-in chicken take makes me hope that he’ll go on TrashTaste and crush the boys with his chef knowledge 😂

I know it is unintentional, but dubbing over the last part of the video made it seem like a nod to Emily's style of video. Great job!

I did not know you knew Emily. But knowing what we do know. I assume you went to the cafe and Emily just appeared 😂

I went to the Oshi no Ko cafe you guys went to and I enjoyed it. I ordered the sandwich, the pasta, the shake and the pancakes (I'm a big Oshi no Ko fan 😅). I can understand why the curries meaning was lost because it is an obscure reference to a character: Kana Arima. Kana is a child actress and she brags that she is the "genius child actor who can cry in 10 seconds" but due to Japanese wordplay, it is misunderstood as the "genius child actor who licks baking soda ". The cream cheese on the plate, when you swipe it with the naan bread I believe is suppose to mimic licking baking soda. A chibi image of Kana licking the floor should of been present at the bottom of the plate and revealed as you cleared more of the cream cheese. Hope that helps! ✌

The Denji meal is the first meal Makima bought for him.

In fact, JJK's dessert is not a domain expansion, it is one of the spheres that Geto consumes to store curses, there is even a scene in the second OP where he pours chocolate over it and it melts the same way

All right, time to flex my French knowledge. The first dish was a méli-mélo salad, which would best be translated as a hodgepodge salad. I guess they just mixed a bunch of greens together artistically. The "à la à bientôt" has me really confused, as the last part means "until soon", so your guess is as good as mine. The onion soup is pretty straightforward. Next dish was Japanese beef sirloin (a word i had to look up) with the Itadori sauces and "beef juice", which might just be an au jus. Finally, some bread, the chocolate dome, and coffee, tea or herbal tea to wrap it up.

That Jujutsu Kaisen colab looks legit. It's definitely more a colab than an anime cafe though. The price for the food, atmosphere and view is worth. As for the Chainsaw Man cafe, I think the Osaka one I went to back in March was much better in terms of food.

"Udon is the superior noodle." Connor somewhere: "WTF???!!!!!!!"

Im loving the new style of Content that ChefPK is releasing

Even when Emily isn't uploading cafe content, I'm getting cafe content 😂 great video!

Thank you for enabling Emirichu's cafe addiction

Finally, smn who can share Emily's obsession with anime themed cafes

i like this format: seeing both the fan and the chef's critique. with this, we can see two different views about why these dishes are good, bad, or okay.

I always wanted to try one of those anime collab cafes...their food looked so good. Denji ordered sausage along with his udon by the way. And I think the lemons for Kobeni, maybe it represents the saying when life gives you lemons?

Emily is an anime collab cafe connoisseur at this point and she will gladly look for any excuse to expand her repertoire. You know that meme of Batman getting giddy at the thought of Prep Time? That's Emily with collab cafes! lol

This collab went perfectly! Emily's enthusiasm and domain experience was a perfect complement to the precise food traveler expertise (in a new place) we're used to. Also, that last tasting menu for $50 - solid! I've shelled out more for far worse - but this is new york so...

27:22 Sadly chefpk. It is not a domain. Its a Curtain(a barrier technique that hides stuff inside and what trapped everyone in shibuya). Thats why it said Tobari on the menu. But god it looks delicious

Started watching Chef during his initial Food Wars reactions. And now he’s collabing with KZfaqrs like Emirichu. Time sure flies by fast.

I am loving this series, and I can see how this is re-energizing you.

Letting collab cafes make gourmet meals allows them to come up with creative menus, ones that can reference the source material and its equally creative creators. They should really let them do this often, and let them be equally creative I even wondered if the chaotic nature of the Black Flash meal is in of itself a reference to the move itself. But I don't remember enough to say that it is

I don't think there's many significance to the udon and sausage other than the fact that it's the first decent meal denji ate after meeting makima in the anime.

Support me on Nebula so I can spend more at Anime Cafe's: go.nebula.tv/chefpk

The sausage is also from the udon scene. Denji orders a kitsune udon with an extra Frankfurt on the side

OMG you met EMIRICHUUU i am such a big fan of her and her drawings

I love how Emirichu has now become the expert go to for Anime Cafes.

I miss cooking videos. Maybe you could do your own enhanced version of this dishes when you return home?

😂 understanding the “thank you” for liking udon. Please tell me I am not the only one who gets why she showed so much enthusiasm.

oh shoot someone is fuelling Emily's crippling cafe addiction

Im from Emily's channel and is new here but Im happy you chose a well-seasoned expert on anime cafes to come with you! On noodles tho hmmm.. hahaha!

Love that your tastes are similar but personalities are different lol. So fun. Thanks for doing things like this because it's always a curiosity of us Western folk.

Well, we know Emily is gonna make another collab cafe video soon now

7:00 when emily just casually ate power it just cracked me up

7:00 onwards and ChefPK vindicated Garnt on the great chicken debate. He said bone in has more flavour.

Definitely gotta try these themed meals out, when I visit Japan. Thanks for this great video. Know I got a general idea how to do something like this, and not look to lost in the moment

I see Emirichu decided to export her Anime Cafe videos to a new channel. Well I'm sure not about to complain about it. I wasn't even aware the two of you knew each other, but it's cool that you do since I'm a fan of both of your channels. Sweets Paradise charging you for their regular buffet on top of the collab stuff is kind of BS imo. I guess the one good thing is that it means you definitely won't leave hungry since a lot of collab cafes seem to serve pretty small portions of okay-ish food, and sadly it seems the Chainsaw Man collab cafe is no exception in that regard, but an extra $30 is not really worth it. The Oshi no Ko cafe seemed pretty disappointing, although I guess that's not surprising. Oshi no Ko didn't exactly have a lot of food moments, at least not that I remember, so trying to create foods based around the show seems pretty tough. That said I'd argue that also means you could get more creative, but pretty clearly they kind of phoned it in. I'm super glad to hear that the Jujutsu Kaisen tasting menu was good. Way too often restaurants will just rely on knowing that fans of the series will pay to support their favorite series and put up with not great food, but clearly this restaurant wanted to actually make good food themed to the show, and that was great to see.

This is the first time seeing emirichus face

Looks like Emily dragged another helpless victim to an anime cafe

Ofc it's gonna be an anime cafe collab with Emily 😭

Emirichu continues on her journey of going to anime cafes with everyone and anyone

Emirichu seems like a Total vibe to handout with.

Of course you had to go to anime cafes and who else to go with but Emily. I do think it is funny that Emily fully accepts the price of anime cafes to just other restaurants.

Emily trying avoid making her channel a anime cafe channel lol

OOH Collab with Emily!! And ahh… yall making me want to visit Japan even more

Hell yeah, you all hit up my dream cafes to visit! This was actually super nice to see you all enjoy them.

I love how you two are discussing some of the Trash Taste hot takes while munching on some food

What a great collab, love both of these two, great to see them in one video.

As someone that loves to cook but is in no means a chef I love getting to hear your views on foods and getting to see the mindset of dissecting flavors. I am also fascinated when you are writing in your book about different things you have eaten and always curious what kind of things you are writing. I have always enjoyed your channel and the blend of food, anime, and even workouts is always great to watch and definitely a great inspiration to make fun meals and always keep playing with my food.

OMG the GREATEST collab

The collab I never knew I needed until it happened lol great content my man!

This made me happy, exited to see what you do next, If you have the time PK, do you prefer sweet or savory pies?

Just wanted to comment that I'm so happy that your channel has grown from when I first watched you back in 2019 ☺ Keep killing it chef 🙌

The first time Emily said "Gojo"😂😂😂

that jujutsu kaisen restaurant was the best!

A Collab I never thought I needed in my Life ❤❤❤

Before watching the video, just want to say, of course it's an anime café for the Emirichu video lol. also while I decided not to pursue a career in the restaurant industry, and just keep cooking as a hobby, having become friends with the Head Chef at my hotel has lead to several opportunities that I'd probably have never attempted if it weren't for your channel. So thank you very much.

Given it’s payday for me I went and made my preorder, I am just collecting ChefPK headbands and books at this point. Batting 1000 let’s goooooo. I love this series so far

17:47 you can see the camera person stealing the milkshake here 🤣

i havnt seen emi in a while used to watch a lot

Just the fact that the jujutsu kaisen restaurant was in shibuya had me like 👁👄👁

What a crossover!

Hey, CHEEPK, I believe you picked the best person to join you on this journey of a video! Emirichu loves anime cafes so much she’s been to 36! She can do it in her sleep! 🤣

When I saw the third dish at the Oshi no ko collab, it reminded me of Xiaofe from Scissor seven in buff form.

Emily “thats why i dont go to sweets paradise often” Emily 2 secounds ago “this is my fifth time here”

I love that you got to collab with Emrichu! I enjoy both channels and this was a really awesome video!

I saw Emi, i read cafe, i click.

Udon with sausage is ep 2 before he passed out on makima's bosom.

I actually recall looking for an Oshi no ko pop up while I was in Japan (granted, September) and couldn't find one. I'm a little jealous. Although I also did not spend much time in Shinjuku when I was there. Hopefully the next time I get to go they have something as awesome as the Jujutsu Kaisen one.

I knew I would get hungry watching this so I prepared and made some pizza bites >:) you’re tricks to make me hungry won’t work

I went to the Monster Hunter cafe in Akihabara on my previous trip. Pretty neat interior, sadly they didn't update the decor from World to Rise all that much, but it had some cool weapons and armor sets on the walls. Lighting was a bit low to set the mood, menu was pretty good and not too expensive. Like the Oshi No Ko Cafe they used a QR code with your phone to basically build up a tab that you paid upon exiting. Not bad, and evne without a reservation I got in right at opening. I went in winter on a rainy day to be fair, I'm sure in the warmer seasons it's a lot busier. Next time I wanna try check out the Eorzea Cafe.

I was at that place as well, honestly the buffet at that Sweets Paradis was not worth the calories. Wish I had seen this before we went but you didn't post this until after we went in mid-November, so probably a few days after you recorded this. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought this place was bad but 3/10 shows just how kind a soul you are, I thought the place was a 1.5/10.

Emily has the cutest laugh

I’m surprised there wasn’t one called Powers Birthday Cake

27:31 this reminds me in the second opening when kenjaku is pouring something on the cursed spirit orb

legend says he is still training for the All Might diet, to this day.

So glad to see Rachel in the video

3:24 :I think I hear Connor screaming in the distance there...

8:32 poor cameraman she had to snatch the bowl of rice just get something to eat that day. Damn, chef you are working your staff to the bone xD

finally: Malevolent Kitchen

Yooo that JJK place looks amazing!! Also what a great unexpected collab!

The Denji meal is the scene where he meets Makima and eat udon free of charge

6:19 the karaage is from the drinking scene after the hotel when Power claims all the karaage and sashimi

27:25 i think this is based of the opening vivid vice but im not sure just go watch it youll see it eventually

I went to one while in tokyo this year back in July. It was a Final Fantasy Eorzea cafe. The food was delicious, drinks were good, and the staff were friendly.

ChefPK And Emily... the collab I never knew I needed! thanks for this!!! trash taste soon? hmmm

Would try the JJK place even though I don't watch the series. Long shot if it's still around on my next trip though.

looks delish ❤😮

Just 10 minutes in and I got my hopes crushed not seeing staff cosplaying the characters yet I would like is to see you to a anime themed for her just to see her reaction

As much as I enjoy the collab Cafe videos, the live reactions really describe how bad some of these places are and that's appreciated

0:04 jujitsu?!!? WHAT?!

Is the lemon soda for Kobeni supposed to be like a chuhai because she's an office worker? I can't remember what she was drinking at the night out. The sausage was also a reference to the udon scene with Denji, because he asked if he could have both udon and a sausage

Ngl that Oshi no ko smoothie should’ve been a strawberry and blueberry one since Aqua is blue and Ruby is red but it looked good nonetheless.

The plate with a bird man on it is supposed to represent the scene where the girls are getting in shape for the concert

25:21 i noticed that emirichu smells her food before taste, after that i got a recommendation of a older emirichu video where she said ,,She onced offended the owner of a resturant because she skept smelling each sushi´´ Damn! KZfaq Algorithm is hitting diffrent xD

I hope he did get to collab and meet the boys, he already got points for Garnt by choosing bone in.

Definitely my favorite KZfaqr! You make the best content! I love chainsaw man 🐶🐾

Epilespy warning at 11:55 - 12:25 what you miss is them basically comparing a full meal to what they payed and they could've gotten 10 delicious full meals instead of the stuff they just ate.

Loved this video going to give this channel a try and just subscribed👍 And it's really interesting. From so many videos I've seen about anime cafe's in Japan, no matter how much everyone mocks or comments how mostly everything is bad quality and expensive in america... Other countries are wanting to follow america's try less and take more. The same for France i hear.
