01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Tucked away along a quiet alley in Sotokanda, Akihabara, NEWTYPE is a cosplay cafe and bar where guests can unwind over friendly conversation with the cast and an extensive food and drink menu. The atmosphere is warm and approachable, allowing even first-time visitors to settle comfortably onto a counter stool or booth seat with a drink in hand.
Playful Ketchup Art and Hearty Cafe Comforts
A perennial centerpiece at the tables is the art omurice, where cast members draw requested illustrations or messages in bright ketchup over the eggs. For those seeking a more substantial meal, the fluffy omurice comes with choices of rich meat sauce, spicy cod roe cream, scallop cream, or squid ink. The kitchen also bakes savory pizzas—including teriyaki chicken, margherita, and mayo-corn—alongside daily chef's pasta and rice specials, making it a reliable dinner destination.
From Casual Pours to Open-Bar Packages
The beverage program is broad, pouring everything from draft beer and highballs to cocktails built on cassis, lychee, gin, or vodka. These pair easily with bar bites such as coarse-ground Kurobuta pork shumai, fried Mitsuse chicken wings, or ume suisho (shark cartilage dressed with sour plum). Depending on your plans, all-you-can-drink packages spanning 2 or 3 hours are available to fit the evening's rhythm.
An Open, Accessible Space for Every Visitor
The venue accommodates solo guests as smoothly as small groups, and staff make an effort to communicate warmly with travelers from abroad. Accessibility has also been thoughtfully considered, featuring wheelchair-accessible entrances, seating, and a hearing loop, welcoming guests from weekday evenings through long weekend night sessions.
