Eager to experience it all for ourselves, we headed out to the limited-time bar, called Evangelion Sakaba, which is located at 46 Shokudo, a revolving themed restaurant in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro neighbourhood.
Greeting us at the entrance was this poster, with Gendo Ikari, the commander of Nerv, telling us “At the Evangelion Sakaba, you drink.”
Evangelion is one of Japan’s most iconic and influential anime of all time, so when an Evangelion bar opened in Tokyo for a limited time last year, fans scrambled to its location like a pilot to an EVA unit.
We go on a mission to eat and drink at Nerv headquarters.
