GUNDAM CAFÉ’s New Menu “Head Chef Tamura’s Whimsical Pilot Lunch” Begins Tomorrow on 1/16!

“Head Chef Tamura’s Whimsical Pilot Lunch”, a menu item based on Head Chef Tamura’s cooking, whose skills were exhibited onboard the space battleship White Base in Mobile Suit Gundam, will be introduced as a weekday-only menu tomorrow, January 16th (Tues), at the official Gundam Café GUNDAM Café Akihabara. It is 1,080 yen including tax.

This menu is the same menu currently offered at Osaka’s GUNDAM SQUARE and is being introduced at GUNDAM Café Akihabara due to its popularity. Head Chef Tamura is a renowned chef who is solely responsible for the meals of the soldiers and civilians onboard the battleship White Base. When the ship falls into severe food shortage after coming under attack in battle, Tamura explains the importance of salt to Captain Bright, especially due to the fact that there is a lack of it. He is an excellent supporting character whose line, “Lack of salt will affect the crew!”, has been imprinted in the memories of fans.

■ Lunch will be offered with a “lack of salt!”

Inspired by the One Year War from Mobile Suit Gundam, the dish’s theme will be that it “changes based on the state of the day’s food supply due to the war.” Furthermore, a portion of the food served will not be seasoned with enough salt based on the well-known “lack of salt” scene by Head Chef Tamura. During the offered period, customers that do not have enough salt in their food will be provided with additional salt so that you can enjoy your dish seasoned to your tastes.

■ Staff will offer the menu to you with fully realistic lines!

The staff will act out lines that resemble those from Gundam so that customers can have fun with the new menu. These include lines such as, “We don’t know when it’ll turn into war, so please eat well while you can,” “Your meal is the same portion as a regular pilot’s meal on Captain Bright’s orders,” and “If it’s not salty enough, contact Captain Bright and we will come right away to supply more salt!”
