Persona 5 Cafe and Merch Store In Japan

While in Japan I had the chance to visit two of the five Persona 5 cafes as well as the limited time merchandise store as well. 

I was able to make two visits to the Osaka cafe branch and one visit to the Ikebukuro cafe branch. 

The merch store is located in Ikebukuro and was only 5 minute walk directly west from the cafe.

Persona 5 Cafe

All items are presented neatly, while some specific menu items have an object that directly references the game.

Here are some items I personally enjoyed from the cafes.

Food

Leblanc Curry: Just the right amount of spiciness, with a nice amount of meat and not an over the top amount of curry sauce. Blended together to make a nice fusion of ingredients with some small cut wedges on top to add an extra nice touch.
Velvet Twincake: One slice was in the style of a vanilla/lemon meringue while the other was a chocolate cake with a crunchy but fruity base. Great way to finish off the meal.
Velvet room creampuffs and jelly: The creampuffs and blueberry jelly both went very well together and was a great way to end one of the visits.

Drinks:

Velvet Room Blue Lemonade: Smooth flavour without much of a kick but went with the curry nicely. As with the green drink it also contained a lollypop style item that added a nice extra hint of flavour.
Futaba's Melon Soda: Had a nice fruity non overbearing taste. The lollypop style item in it that melts slowly added extra hint of flavour.
Ann's Strawberry Soda: Nice smooth strawberry taste that went well with the food and was not overly sweet. The icecream scoop on top was a neat touch that added some nice flavour.

Persona 5 Merch Store 

A small sample of the goods I got between the cafes and merch store.

While the cafes have a small amount of merchandies, the main place to get Persona 5 items was from a department store five minutes west from the Ikebukuro Cafe.

The store itself was very well designed with key imagery, music and such from Persona 5 and had a wide selection of items to purchase.

I myself got a Morgana go to sleep shirt, a couple of badges, keychains, a wall scroll and a few other bits and pieces. Anyone who did a purchase totalling over 3000 yen in one transaction got to do a lucky draw to get a random character postcard, with myself managing to win a Morgana postcard.
