Boss(  'ω') “So this time again, I asked them to go explore another event of anime aired in Japan but... I wonder if they’re okay...”

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩  “Yeahhhhhhh!! We’re going outーーー！！！”

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “Making a report againー.”

 

Mafuyu (^q^) “It’s been a half month since I last came hereーーー！！！”

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “So an anime spot where we’re going to explore today is HERE!!!”

 

 

 

 

★We Tried Some Collabo-Food at NAMJATOWN！★

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “What’s NAMJATOWN?”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “It’s an indoor-type theme park, which I’ve shared in a special article for Ikebukuro before! They annually hold a couple collaborated events by anime or games! This time, of course, NAMJATOWN was collaborated with four anime and games!”

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “Yuri!!! on Ice AGAIN！！！”

 

 

Saoriヽ(´Д`;)ﾉ “Wow... she actually said ‘AGAIN’...”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “But we’ve recently seen some other collaboration events with Yuri!!! on Ice all around Japan, you know? Especially in February and March, huge-scale collaborations, in which they provide collabo-menu at café or restaurants, started taking place, right?”

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “Of course! Simultaneously, Uta no Prince-sama、Yo-kai Watch、Harukanaru toki no naka de were also collaborating!!”

★How can we enjoy collaborations at NAMJATOWN?

 

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “So, our friends who are reading this article might have heard 【NAMJATOWN】in Ikebukuro before but I guess there aren’t so many people who know how they can actually enjoy the place.”

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “If you know it, you’re such a connoisseur of anime, huh? We can enjoy collaborated NAMJATOWN in three major ways!”

 

 

1. We can enjoy Collabo-Food

 

 

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “The biggest purpose this time is... to make a report about some collabo-food by Yuri!!! on Ice!”

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “Yeahhhhhhh!!! I didn’t eat much breakfast this morning so that I can eat more collabo-food!!”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “Let’s eat A LOT! Here’s the 1^st order!!!”

 

 

 

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “Look at this little tiny piroshki...”

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “Wowowowowowowww!!!I see so many kinds of ingredients in borsch!!!! It smells delicious!!”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “Phichit-Kun’s Gapperaise actually looks filling! This little hamster is cute! Can’t wait to eat!!! Are you guys ready? Let’s eat!!”

 

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) Mafuyu(^q^) Saori∩(´∀｀)∩

“““Ittadakimaaaaaasu!!!”””(I’ll eat it now)

 

 

 

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “It’s a little spicy but easy to eat! Because of a thick flavor of egg or cheese, I don’t get tired of this taste... This is cute, though!! This hamster is cute!!!”

 

 

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “Ahhh... It’s delicious.. it’s so delicious with this cheese and pig-shape ham but...”

 

 

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “I feel like being watched... This says, “I’ll make you borsch in Moscow, fat-ass”... We really feel Yurio’s murderous intent from this collabo-food...”

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “Well, this is what I ordered, ‘Katsu-don-style piroshki’, which Yurio’s granpa would make in anime but...”

 

 

 

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “It tastes so thick.”

 

 

Saoriヽ(´Д`;)ﾉ “What? That means it’s not good?”

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “No, it doesn’t... It just has a thick taste of katsu-don in this tiny bread-crumbed... I even wonder ‘what I’m eating’... It’s kind of mysterious...”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “What’s in it?”

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “Rice and... something delicious whose texture is like a croquette (fried mashed potato). Even though it was a little tiny thing, it was delicious with a thick flavor.”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “Oh well! Three of us ate up everything!!! Now, the 2^nd order!!!”

 

 

 

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “Mine is this one!! Yuri!!! on Ice Parfait!!”

 

 

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “It’s like a very typical parfait, huh?”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “What a luxurious parfait with chocolate and cream and everything!! I know they have a variety of desserts in collabo-food menu at NAMJATOWN so I always look forward to them!”

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “That sounds awesomeーーー！！！ Can I have a bite?!!!”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “Nope!”

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “Dang it!!! The one I ordered is this!! Makkachin Crepe!!!”

 

 

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!”

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “Since Senpai’s way of taking a picture is horrible, you might not be able to feel it... But it perfectly looks good and cute, huh?”

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “It’s full of my favorite chocolate! This must be the one made only for me!! Thanks Makkachin! Cute! I ate it up, of course!”

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “By the way, this is the one that I ordered. It’s gelato.”

 

 

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “...............................................................................”

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “What? What’s your comment?”

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “Would you be quiet...? I’m focusing on eating this, feeling Yurio right now...”

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “Oops, sorry.”

 

 

2. We can enjoy Collabo-Attractions

 

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “So now! What’s another special collabo in NAMJATOWN? Yep! We can try various attractions such as collaboration with ride-type attractions at NAMJATOWN or with Garapon!!”

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “We totally forgot about it, huh? We actually took a picture of Garapon’s handle but forgot to take the whole body...”

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “The rule is simple! Hold a handle and turn it around. You’ll get a colored ball. You can get the goods whose color is the same as the ball you draw!”

 

 

 

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “By the way, they are going to hold a new attraction (event) at the end of March, called ‘Yuuri’s Hug-hug Competition’... This name is too incredible to imagine what kind of attraction it will be, huh...?”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “You can guess what kind of goods we’ve got!”

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) (You know why we cannot tell you, right...? Just guess...)

 

 

3. We can purchase Collabo-Limited-Items

 

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “Are you guys ready? This is the major reason why Japanese girls go to NAMJATOWN!! Goods-Limitedly-Available-HERE!! Most of the collaborated characters are cosplaying such as cats’ costumes, trying to match mascot characters! Those are incredibly so cute!!!”

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “You often go to NAMJATOWN just to get these collabo-items, Mafuyu, right?”

 

Mafuyu(^q^) “Yep! I often go there since collabo-foods are delicious, and I can buy goods and also enjoy all the attractions!”

 

Saori∩(´∀｀)∩ “We also saw a Pokemon Center ‘megatokyo’ on the same floor and J-World on the upper floor... We now have more places where we can enjoy anime goods when we come to Ikebukuro, huh?”

 

 

 

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) “So you guys! When you come to Japan, why don’t you go check what anime are collaborated at NAMJATOWN? Alright now! We’ll see you all at the next article for another report!!”

 

 

Aoi ( ´_ゝ`) Mafuyu(^q^) Saori∩(´∀｀)∩

“““See y’all~!!!”””
