Which of these cafes would you eat at if you could only choose one?

u playin gamba with the quality u get from anime cafe food

emily not liking desserts goes against everything i know about her

Oh wow so sad seeing how much the Ghibli museum cafe has changed since pre-Covid. They used fine china and silver cutlery when I visited in 2019. Hopefully they bring back that kind of atmosphere that truly gave the whole experience that “ghibli aesthetic”

I appreciate that you added the price you spend in each cafe, it helps to know what to expect.

"let's be honest. you're not going to a themed-cafe because you want high quality omu rice. You're going so you can eat omu rice that looks like a cute character sleeping in an egg blanket." no words can ever be truer than this. it struck a cord 😭😭

*Emily doesn't like sweets* Also Emily: Imma order the sweetest items on the menu

Emily loves cutesy stuff but not liking desserts is like a person who loves swimming but is afraid of the ocean.

24:13 - thanks to this video, I was able to make a reservation for the Kirby Café in May! I actually picked the wrong date at first, and then when I went back in literally a minute or two later to try again, almost ALL the time slots were taken - except for a handful, like six or seven - but thankfully, one of those was precisely for the time and date that I originally intended to! So when I got the confirmation emails, I made extra sure to cancel the first one. Phew, glad it all worked out. Thanks again for all the information here!

daidus: imma go on a diet emily: here's the dessert I ordered but can't finish or won't eat daidus: 👁👄👁

Emily's "I didn't finish it" reminds me of her "I haven't watched it" and just listen as Daidus mocks her for it with Erold laughing his ass off

8:43 that is the cutest artwork I've ever saw. Why has that artist and cafe not skyrocket in popularity. I'd have the biggest smile ever from the adorableness.

When I found out Emily didn’t love dessert I was shocked especially since her style is sooo sweet

This is the literal perfect video to watch on a rainy lazy Sunday, ty Emily

Waiting 5 hours for a cafe with mediocre food sounds like a gag they’d do on nichijou tbh. They really gave you the authentic nichijou experience.

As a Guy myself, i WANNA go to the GIrly cafes like Sailor Moon or the cute cat one XD

the ghibli cafe was so cute. it looked so cozy and I loved the atmosphere and the atmosphere of the surrounding city. not like I’m biased because I love every ghibli movie and haven’t really watched any of the other ones here, excepting the Sanrio characters, Kirby, and Pokémon.

When I lived in Japan, I went to the Pompompurin cafe myself and it was so much fun! I also went by myself and the staff asked me if I was alone and when I said yes, they sat a HUGE Pompompurin across from me so I wouldn't feel lonely. I went when I had just arrived in Japan and was still a little uncomfortable and I think they saw that. It was great!

Fun fact, if you go to the Kirby Cafe alone, the workers give you a giant Waddle Dee plush to keep you company.

5:29 bursting into tears at how happy you are in the moment is a very Tohru thing to do haha

In need of more Emirichu content like this

It’s very fitting that everything went wrong for you at the Nichijou café of all places. It’s like a metaphor for life.

I like how Emily is like, “now I know the guys are probably bored” while I’m sitting here like “man that sailor moon food looks great” and “It’s a shame the Nichijou cafe didn’t work out” lol. Nichijou is easily in my top 3

7:44 That looks like its burned, kinda funny. but i would never go there since i get very stressed in public spaces, especially when there are loud cars or trams and people. I also don't like the idea of having a lot of new food as like dinner or breakfast or something, but you do, so thanks for making this video and getting me some of that experience.

The pompompurin cafe looked the best to me ngl, IT WAS SOOOOOO CUTE

The cafes are hard carried by the aesthetic but the aesthetic is SO GOOD

If you ever want free desserts, force Emirichu to bring you along!!🤣🤣🤣

Aww. I knew Mouse would be so excited for the cinnamon roll café, so that is super sweet of you to get her stuff. I know already that she will love whatever it is.

Emi: it’s so cute, but too sweet Daidus: STOP ORDERING DESERTS

Even real life Emily is living in an anime world; prove me wrong.

The fact that Emily immediately started crying when she took one bite of the katsudan made me think of her as an even bigger anime fan girl 😂

What I loved about the Kirbo cafe, and I'm surprised this wasn't shown, is that the entrance has a big Kirbo and Waddle Dee plush in front of a big dish on a wall. Customers can take pics with the cafe's themed big spoon and fork. And to the side are smaller Caf'e Kirbos waiting to serve ya.

23:23 I wish that was what a McDonald’s burger actually looked like 💀💀

Omg the Studio Ghibli and Sailor Moon cafes look 😍😍 so fkn cute ! Legitimately canNOT wait to visit and go see the Square Enix cafe !

The best part about the Kirby Cafe is that you can buy the soundtrack that plays there! It's a collection of chill and jazzy arrangements of various Kirby tunes from throughout the series, and there are TWO volumes!!

The Kirby, Pokémon, and Straw-hat café's looked amazing. Would definitely visit them if I ever get the chance. I'm sad I won't be able to go to the Sailor Moon cafe! It looked so cool, and I'm tearing up just seeing it! ;_; My childhood....... *sob*

I was feeling pretty down, but watching this video cheered me up :) Emily's videos are always really good for cheering me up and just being a quick cosy watch

I love how Japan always feels the need to create a cafe for anything AND I LOVE IT

Thanks Emily for this detailed and comprehensive anime cafes video!

I'm trying to convince my sister to take me to Japan so I wanna go to the cinnamoroll and pompom cafe!

7:26 The way he speaks calmly and politely to Emily to wait for even more is so nightmarish 💀

Emily: I wasn’t a huge fan of the plastic screen thing they had because it made sharing food difficult Japan’s Covid Policy: THATS THE POINT 😂 😂😂😂

these vlogs give me soo much serotonin ahhhhh

The best thing about the Kirby Cafe has to be the two unique albums HAL did for the cafe music it's all super good

Take a shot every time Emirichu says "Not too sweet". Cracks me up how much she is not a fan of sweets.😂 Couldn't be me.

I'm amazed how fast Emily made friends she's comfortable enough to fangirl at anime cafes.

Love this kind of content. Please dont stop making these. I went to the Ghibli museum. I was one of the first ones in and still couldn't get in at the cafe. There was a little hotdog stand next to it which I had to settle for.

I was randomly recommended this video. Super happy I clicked. Your tone and voice are soothing, and I like how you describe everything. It was a nice comment about how the Pokemon cafe flavors are geared toward children. That is a super sweet consideration! Never been to Japan but I've always wanted to go to anime cafes, knowing I'll be over charged for the character themed items. I guess I'll have to try several out to find something yummy... my guess is it's like Disney. Cute, on theme, expensive but you might find something worth snacking on.

I love how Mouse just recruits her friends to buy her cinnamon rolls

"Stop ordering desserts and not eating them!": I sympathize entirely! They all looked so tasty! 😭🤤

I love how you include quite a bit of Japanese! It’s really cool and helpful for practicing, plus your videos are just very entertaining in general.

Thank you for giving us these great cafe tours around Japan to those who many never see Japan hugs thank you x.

I can already tell that your drawing skills improved heavily, Emiri. It looked so good! I also didn't mind the cute/shojou cafe stuff. I enjoy those too. As for me? There's is truly only one cafe/restaurant I ever wanna go to in Japan. And thats the Kamen Rider The Diner. :3

I can definitely see Emily being the Gordon Ramsay of cafes.

IM FEELING SO UNBELIEVABLY PECKISH RIGHT NOW AAAAAA THIS IS AMAZING

17:54 subtitles are really cursed

shoutout to those who watched emi plan out her whole itinerary on that one twitch stream :

That pompompurin cafe….I’m obsessed with the interior 😭😭😭🍮

Hi Emi! I'll be travelling to Japan for the first time in February and I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE CAFE VIDEOS, they really cut down the overwhelming anxiety of travelling into a new country with basically no geographical knowledge AT ALL. Thank you , thank you!

Things I learned this video: A brunch of cool cafes with cute themes and food items. Things I also learned in this video: Emily has the stomach of a child and can rarely finish a meal. Just order off the kids meal you dingus! Smaller portions.

As a guy I would be too shy to go to the cuter places by myself, but I would wholeheartedly unironically enjoy going to them with friends. Seems like some super cozy atmospheres even if I don’t know most of the things being referenced 😊

The Nichijou Cafe experience of Emily is definitely a Nichijou Experience.

I'm 100% doing this when I visit.

Emirichu, I love your art and stories! Thank you for being here!!!

Everyone absolutely must listen to the soundtracks for the Kirby Cafe. Sadly, they got taken down from youtube but you can find them online elsewhere very easily. The madlads somehow remixed a dark, dire boss theme for an eldritch abomination of a final boss fallen angel into something super chill and relaxing for the soundtrack, 10/10 please listen to the soundtrack!

I was feeling down today because of college, and then this video popped up on my recommendations 😭 I don't know how to explain it but the way you seemed so happy about the places that you visited made me feel happy too

Absolutely love your honesty and find your overall style very charming and refreshing. Entertaining video, thank you! Cool whip on vegetable drinks sounds abysmal. I was just thinking you seemed to prefer sweetness in refreshing beverages when you notice the same thing about yourself! As someone who is lactose-intolerant, I enjoy vicariously experiencing most of these cafes - nice to look at, but limited in what I can consume (lactase pills are a last option for me, since I don’t eat dairy due to inflammatory problems).

I NEED to go to the Kirby Cafe at least once in my life, and yes I will but just about everything from the merch store. Also the Pompom one was a very clean and cute aesthetic even though Mocha is my favorite sandrio character. I'd love to go to a fruits basket themed one as well but idk if they have and specifically for that. The straw hat Cafe definitely looks like a place Luffy would devour lol

She returned when the world needed her most

I went to the Pokémon cafe and I legit expected it to not be so good but we all finished all the food and left satisfied. I didn’t even expect to like it since most reviews say it isn’t the best but we all liked it 🤷‍♀️

i am getting sensory overload by the pure cuteness of these cafes and how much i want to go to them [btw amazing video love the art style]

22:07 *jaiden running to the Pokémon cafe to go to the Pokémon center to buy more Pokémon plushies*

I live in a very rural, non-culturally diverse, extremely conservative Christian area, and watching your video is really reminding me of my adventures going to Kinokuniya back at home and being able to find fellow anime fans anywhere. This is making me want to start a go fund me to just create an anime shop right in the middle of the small country town I live in XD oh how I miss this experience!

I can only hope they make a character with a design similar to Alysia for Genshin. I'm too deep into that to play both, but her design is everything. So much PINK 😭

When I went to Japan in 2019, I was able to go to a reservation pop-up cafe for My Hero Academia, and it was so cute and so fun! I would love to go to more themed cafes if/when I can visit Japan again, but until then this video will truly tide me over. I especially was already interested in the Sailor Moon cafe, the Cinnamoroll cafe, and the Pokemon cafe, so I appreciate this video a lot for giving me some perspective.

7:38 A recreation of the shrine scene from Nichijou!

I’m literally appalled by how many desserts emirichu left on the table

It makes me kinda happy that Nichijou's cafe has such a large crowd, since I heard that anime was underappreciated in Japan

Moving to or at least visiting Japan is my biggest dream ever, and hearing these cafes honestly fuels it! Sadly I’m 15 and don’t have a job to save up the money to go but one day I hopefully will

"Where are the manly cafes?" I love these cafes so much that I don't even care if they're girly! I want to go to so many of these SO BAD!

OMG Arina Tanemura cafe?! Full Moon was my first manga ever, before I even knew what that was, and she sparked my deep dive into art, the way I draw hair is still greatly inspired by her style. So happy to know her works are still being recognized and celebrated XD

Damn,this is already like a field trip full of cafe,i can't imagine how much did she spends to visit all of this places. Anyway, it's really cool to see a lot of theme cafes in Japan,and can't say that I'm not jealous or anything. But, it's still good. Thanks for showing the different type of theme cafe Emily-san. ❤️❤️

11:11 that looks pretty as fuck, the toasting stamps are a nice idea. What an interesting way of using coloured gelatin, so colourful.

i think i would cry at the fruits basket cafe too lol just the music box version of the opening was making me tear up dfgh

Having a partner means having someone to share your life with. It ALSO means having someone to eat what you don’t want or can’t finish.

Emily's video: beautiful video of 12 anime cafes Daidus's video: "DUDE! they got a thing you can put your umbrella in so it doesn't drip all over the place!!"

omg Emily, that was delightful LOL. Thank you for taking the time to do all that for us. (by the way, I hate app game ads and you made yours so cute I didn't even skip it)

As someone who considers Full Moon to be her favorite anime/manga, I was really excited to see the Arina Tanemura cafe!

Alternate title: Emily complaining about the DESERTS being TOO SWEET

Themed cafés are now on my tourism checklist. Thank you Emily.

Using Joey as an example of "The Boys" for the JJK cafe is pretty funny especially if the guy has openly said JJK is mid 🤣

i just wanted to say thank you for all these reviews so that i was able to enjoy my time in japan whilst i was there !! i visited the pompompurin cafe and the totoro creampuff factory and they were wonderful!! thank you so much :))

you know it's a good day when there's a new Emirichu video.

Glad you're covering this topic, not a lot of youtubers have covered this, crazily enough! I love seeing reports of anime cafes and just the general vibe of them (the menus and new artwork, etc) and even if their foods arent the best, it just seems nice to be around a place with your favorite series!

I watched Ponyo all the time when I was younger without realizing it was an anime until I got older

when I heard 'Straw Hat Cafe', my mind INSTANTLY THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE PIECE CAFE AND I WAS SOO EXITED... but then I realized it was in the Ghibli Museum so that would make zero sense- 🥺

"Some of the fellas have checked out at this point" I like "Girly cutesy" things too, and Sailor Moon for multiple reasons. I'm super jealous of that Fruits Basket cafe you went to, it was one of the first manga I ever read.

I would love to see the face of the random people seeing emirichu just smelling everything before tasting it. Her new friends probably got used to it after 3 cafes

This was such a good watch. I love your personality so much! I wanna go to the fruits basket cafe so bad!! 😻

The Fruit basket cafe looks really welcoming and cute. The food looks good, the ambiance seams nice. I would love to go there, same for the Kirby cafe. Everything is adorable, i would feel bad to eat the food it's so beautiful 😲
