To promote the release of Yakuza Kiwami and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Yakuza in Japan, Toshihiro Nagoshi and Masayoshi Yokoyama visited the Yakuza cafe for its opening day (January 28.) It is a limited-time operation and will close on March 16! The Yakuza cafe is a collaboration project between Sega and Pasta Paradiso Okachimachi Yoshiike, an Italian restaurant in Ueno, Tokyo. The Yakuza cafe itself is located at the Sweets Paradise Shinsaibashi in Osaka.
This Dengeki Online article chronicles the culinary adventures of our two heroes from Sega, who tried out the dishes at Pasta Paradiso. And here’s an image of the different items offered at the cafe, courtesy of Sega of Japan:
The bottom segment is for drinks – the items with an orange circle marker are non-alcoholic, and the ones with a purple circle marker are alcoholic. Better keep Haruka away from those.
Kiryu’s dish is a pasta Arrabbiata dish, and Nishiki’s dish is a baked chicken dish, both of which are apparently quite spicy. I don’t mind spicy things, as long as it’s not too spicy – I can’t stand the hotter peppers, Sriracha sauce, and anything that’s generally “very hot.” The desserts are a strawberry parfait for Haruka and a soufflé cheesecake for Majima.
Those who dine in will also receive limited-edition Yakuza character-themed coasters and stickers as they are available.
