NERV Cafe (Ninja Cafe)

A convenient stop while exploring Toei Kyoto Studio Park, NERV Cafe (Ninja Cafe) catches the eye with a unique menu of light bites drawn from the world of Evangelion. The signature curries come in striking hues inspired by the franchise's pilots and mecha, featuring options such as Unit-02, Mark.06, and an eye-catching purple roux that makes deciding what to order half the fun.

For a quicker meal, the dashi-infused Japanese curry bun is a dependable choice, pairing a punch of spicy heat with a juicy sausage. The broader lineup caters to various appetites with savory yakisoba and hearty rice bowls, alongside shareable snacks and sweets such as "thousand-ryo box" popcorn and sweet crepes.

For a cafe break, guests can refresh themselves with drinks that change color upon adding lemon juice, an "edible L.C.L" beverage, or a classic melon cream soda. The compact interior is decorated with character standees and a dedicated corner for exclusive merchandise, so arriving slightly outside peak lunchtime hours allows for a much more relaxed visit.
