An Akihabara maid café has just begun a week long promotion for the upcoming release of the PSP version of Fate/Unlimited Codes.
As we have seen with the same café’s previous Chaos;Head event, this means liberally decorating the cafe with all sorts of series-related accessories and creating a new menu to create “image” dishes for certain characters, which can be seen below…
The impetus for the event is the June 18 release of Fate/Unlimited Codes Portable, the PSP port of last December’s PS2 version, which was mostly noticed for the supremely detailed Figma that was included with SP box of the game.
The restaurant, CURE Maid Café, has made these sort of promotional events into a habit, as they always seem to be converting the café into a new theme every few weeks.
This new Fate theme is a good example of what is usually done, although the fact the event only begun yesterday regrettably means that cosplay photos have yet to begun circulating online.
These images from the event’s opening last night should give the general gist though:
As always, a new menu is made for each event, with themed image plates and drinks aplenty. Here is a good portion of it, along with translations:
Father Kotomine’s Super Hot Asababa Donburi (¥1,000, Set ¥1,200)
A popular plate the last time we had it, Father Kotomine’s Super Hot maabou donburi (rice bowl) comes back even spicier!
Those with confidence in their love of spiciness, please try it!!
Angra Mainyu Pasta (¥900, Set ¥1,100)
The image of the “World’s Holy Grail Mud” has been put into this black curry dish.
It has a mysterious bittersweet taste to it.
Archer’s Projection Plate (¥800, Set ¥1,000)
A spherical-cut potato and shrimp fry dish made to invoke Kanshou and Bakuya, this plate is liberally spread with red Italian sauce.
Saber Lily’s Calpis x Ginger Ale
Saber’s Blue Hawaii x Ginger Ale
Saber Alter’s Grenadine x Cola
Rider’s Grape Juice x Calpis
Archer’s KamuKamu Soda x Ice Tea
Berserker’s Ice Cocoa x Chocolate Sauce
Assassin’s Honey Green Tea
Saber Lily’s Cake (¥600, Set ¥700)
A Victorian cake with marmalade jam sandwiched in between layers of sponge cake, with Saber Lily modeled in white flour-sugar. (Limited Quantity)
White Coffee Ice Cream With Caramel (¥500, Set ¥700)
An ice cream with the flavor of coffee, this dessert represents Saber’s dazzling blonde locks in the caramel sauce and her pure hearted spirit in the color of the white ice cream.
Glasses (¥1,050 Each)
These Fate/Unlimited Codes glasses are limited edition items exclusive to this event!
The Fate/Unlimtied Codes Café event will last from June 12 to the 21st, so all Fate fans with an interest in maid cafés have but little time to make their own visit.
More information is available at the CURE website.

Seriously, I want Rin.
No one else.
Man, I feel you. Rin > All.
No no no , you missed Saber there
Saber > Rin > All
fixd
Saber Lily > Rin > Saber
wow just wow
wrong
Ilya>Rin>Caster>All
Your all wrong, Rin > Sakura > Ilya > Rider > Saber
no no no
Kotomine > all
FTL
"wrong
Ilya>Rin>Caster>All"
At least someone hasn't completely lost their mind yet. Though the mention of Rin and Caster is largely unnecessary.
Harem>All
Believe in the dream! You can do it!
But seriously - I'm impressed with the detail of the sugar design on the cakes.
Now to see if I know anyone you can get me the glasses..
*checks contacts and finds nobody :( *
I liked :)
my god, theres so much want! posters, (nendoroid?) saber lily????!?!?!!? MEIN GOTT cups, dishes, food, maids, saber, saber, saber saber saber saber saber saber! where is this maid located in akihabara? its def on my list of to go.
Screw the food and beverages just give me the figma and nendroid Lily Saber to me pronto.
Screw that give me the Maid...
Touche.
Screw that give me the food :D
I'd love to get one of the glasses, Saber looks pretty cool on it and I'd be able to use it.
If I only had a private jet to fly me there...
oh well.. my hopes have been dashed! >.<
DO WANT
Me to ^^
WANT
Rest is awesome... but that girl in the last pic... *drool*
What was this artical about again?
And all of sudden a wind blew in, knock the maid down and reveals that it's just a cardboard cut-out..
but I'd still hit it.
About Seiba's worshipping goods i think,
Angra Mainyu Pasta, might be good but just looks terrible.
Saber Alter’s Grenadine x Cola - Warning sugar content 3 times lethal dose.
The bitter aftertaste is probably because it's burned. Looks that way anyway. :P
Damn... This, and seeing F/UC during E3? My summer is going along nicely.
How long are they gonna milk this series?
As long as it brings in money I guess.
Wish I was staying in Tokyo.
Also, want that limited glass!
need more rider.
any idea where to get that mini saber lily
Wait for pre-order, it's not a limited edition.
That blue hawaii drink looks pretty delicious.
can you still eat there if your not a fan of the anime?
No - did I forget to mention the FSN trivia game you have to play before entering, on penalty of death if you fail?
Ick...
you could, but since its a cafe specifically set on Fate/stay Night, you wont get the references and stuff.
rofl
"Saber Lily’s Cake"
They are serving Saber's delicious cake. I would like a piece of that.
your avatar says all
delicious juice >.<
I lol'd too at the Saber Lily's "Cake"
Says everything, maybe if you pay a little extra bonus you can have both cakes... XD
Well I'm glad *someone* has a GSC Saber Lily. They pushed back the wide release to August, sigh.
The food looks amazing! Never seen the kind of food they serve at maid cafes. It looks exquisite, although I'm sure that not every maid cafe has this quality of food available. Nice to see otaku eat pretty well :3
WIN no lie those actually look good
those are some pretty nice cups, it's funny how they can add the name of characters to any kind of drink
That looks like such a fun event. I'd go broke just picking up all the extra stuff. Never mind the food, which looks uber tasty.
LOLed at Archer's Kamu Kamu (cum cum) soda
I'd buy six of each of the glasses...
why not thirteen?
Ooooh, saber lily commemorative glasses. :3
They're actually wide release like most of the other things displayed
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10092082
Got my 2 reserved!
thanks anon!
haha kinda afraid that they might break though... (either from shipping or me being careless)
Yeah, they look nice.
my fate has been decide,can i stay for a night?
I want some of that delicious cake in the last pic :p
I want to see Nasu-sensei in person :3
Looks like I need to make time to go downtown and check this one out.
I'd hit Berserker's Ice Cocoa x Choc Sauce.
No, seriously.
Although, I bet it'd suck my wallet dry on a single day trip just for that thing.
SABER'S DELICIOUS JUICE DO WANT!!
also delicious cake :3
lol
berserker = chocolate
>_<
Other than Saber Lily's cake (doesn't Illya's more appropriate?), I can't see why such dishes are named after Fate characters. One can easily just bring in a plate of prawns marinated with red sauce and named it Matou Shinji's fingers..
actually the kotomine maabou was also from fate/unlimited codes as kotomine's ex mission. Not sure why it was there (didn't went thru the visual novel) though.
but the archer's projection thing, I don't understand it either =P
If memory serves me right, during the Heavens Feel scenario of FSN you can find Kotomine, sweating in delight as he gulps down Mappo Dofu at a Chinese restaurant.
As for Archer, one of his talents is to bring into being copies of the magical weapons he has seen as a Guardian throughout the course of time. These copies appear in his hands. When he invokes them, he is able to use them as effectively as their original owners. He often projects Kansho and Bakuya, two ancient scimitars,
ah crappy it happens after i left Japan
Father Kotomine’s Super Hot Asababa Donburi makes me drool... I don't really know what is inside but there are spices!
Ciel would be all over the curry dishes...
"I'd like an Angra Mainyu with Assassin please."
Sounds fun...
I can bet my wallet good bye if I gonna eat there.
"red Italian sauce" - I had "Italian sauce" when in Japan, it was watered down tomato paste. The Japanese version of Italian food is as ungenuine as "Chinese food" in South Carolina!
Must be my limited culinary knowledge.. but that black curry loosk disgusting.
In general anything black doesn't look very appetizing.
Licorice looks pretty tasty. Black beans don't look like much but they taste good.
"Rider's grape juice" Mmmmmm....
"Assasin's honey..." Eurgh...
I want to go there T.T
Hooray, I vaguely understand parts of this theme! I picked a great time to start reading Fate/Stay Night.
As you were.
Yes! I missed the first Fate/UC maid cafe event, but this time I'll be there. The food look OK, the glasses looks great, and there is this secret guide on the net that explains how to raise all the flags for the secret maid scenes.
AKIBA!!!!!! I`M COMIIIIIINGGGG~~~~~~~~
Not so quick there, young man. You're only allowed to go after you clean up that mess you just made.
:P
bet they charge an arm and a leg to eat thier
BRING ME MAH TEA ALREADY! ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ
I forgot the name of the guy who has a red drill like attack on his noble phantasm and likes saber..
Do you mean the one with Gold Armor?
That guy's probably Gilgamesh.
Don't care who I'd get, I wanna go!
I want the cups and ice cream.
I hate how these theme cafes always have such outrageous prices. $10 is too much for a dish that won't even fill you up.
On another note - can anybody find a larger version of the glass design and make a wallpaper out it? It'd be pretty sweet.
And this is why I want to go to japan =,=
Damn, that looks pretty tasty. I'd be willing to overlook the price because this looks pretty awesome.
so now i have to make my pilgrimage to my holy place of worship
Yeah...Like, tomorrow I'm going to buy my japan ticket ¬.¬'
GOD IT'S SO AWESOME!
I want to go very badly. It'll be too late by the time I get over there ...
Sakura and Saber for me. argh! Saber Lily, want want want! :D
I want one of those cups! They look pretty nice.
