Viral hit “PPAP” is getting a cafe in Tokyo which, I guess, is serving pen-pineapples and apple-pens? Pretty much!




If you’ve been away from the internet for the past few weeks, here’s Pikotaro doing his thing.

As seen on Spice, PPAP Cafe will serve up food, mostly with pineapples or apples. The meals don’t feature actual pens, but rather, what looks like chocolate ones, which is probably for the best.


The PPAP Cafe opens on November 1 and, like this fad, will only exist for a short period of time, wrapping up on November 20.
