27th Ikebukuro (2)

Dinner was at Nyamja Town (by Namco), the only food theme park in Japan. (May even be in the whole world.) You pay 300 yen admission, and then the food inside cost extra. They weren't exactly cheap, but not expensive either. (In short, it adds up.) Oops! Forgot to take a picture of the main entrance!! Argh!!

They have 3 sections. Gyoza, cake, and ice-cream. Plus a special corner featuring Oden. Each section is decorated in a different style.

Gyoza Stadium is nostalgic Showa period Japan. (BTW, the washroom is from the Mononoke Omote, "haunted ground", the game part of the park.)

Cake section is kinda European mix. Or rather, Japanese' vision of Europe. Bright and nice, nothing wrong.

Ice-cream section is modern and futuristic. Kind of cold, but it just might because of the ice-cream.

Dinner was delicious gyozas. They gather famous gyoza stores from all over Japan into one place.
Dessert was of course, cake. Same thing. Famous bakery from afar. By the time we got to the ice-cream part, my stomach had no room left. Too bad... I'd like to try the natto ice-cream! They've got over 300 flavors including bazaar and hard to come by ones!

Some weird desserts in the cake section... Boob puddings! The packaging is... speechless! There were also desserts that look like fried prawn and grilled fish. I wanted the takoyaki-lookalike cream puff I saw 2 years ago, but too bad this time the feature was cake instead of cream puff.
