Anime art and syrup have probably never even been used in the same sentence, but Saboten Store, a faux maid anime café, combines the two together to create some amazing and delicious artwork. I’ve read about this café through various Naver blogs and from there learned about their miraculous creations. With the purchase of any toast or cheesecake, you also get the chance to make an additional purchase for “시럽아트”, or “Syrup art”, in which the café staff draw whatever game or anime character you would like on your dish. My friend and I who went are both huge Pokémon fans, so we naturally decided on two of our favorite Pokémon; Mega Scizor (my friend) and Mega Ampharos (myself). And the outcome was…
…pretty amazing, if you ask me. I do love the toast addition to Scizor and Ampharos! We’re going to do a Pokémon scene next time; possibly Mew and Mewtwo on separate plates fighting. If there was such thing as a delicious nerdgasm, then that would be it.
Not only that, but the café itself was quite cozy and eclectic; just how I like them. It’s full of imported Japanese anime stuffs for purchase. They didn’t have much game merchandise aside from numerous “Persona 4: The Movie” collectibles and a few games.
The menu on the café was simple. It has all of the essentials; basic tea, a few coffee drinks, and a couple of desserts. The staff were super friendly and they all donned amazing maid outfits. One was gracious enough to let me take a picture with her!
If you ever happen to be in Seoul, definitely make your way to this café. It’s has a unique atmosphere packed with all sorts of video game and anime fans alike. To get there, take the metro to Sadang station and go out of exit 11. Walk forward for a few blocks and Saboten Store will be on the second floor of a business building to your right. It’s difficult to miss! The menu is only in Korean and the staff don’t speak a whole lot of English, so make sure to look up some key words / phrases for Cafés before you go. Here’s a list of phrases that you might need if you ever do make it to Saboten:
안녕하세요!
Annyonghasayo!
(hello)
(food/drink item here) 주세요.
______ ju-seh-yo.
(please give me _____)
What would you get on your plate? I can’t wait for my next visit! My buddy and I were also thinking of a “derp” theme featuring Dunsparce and Goomy. If we get a third friend with us, Stunfish would have to join in.
– Mr. Bojingles
They should NOT of brought Charizard to the Unova region because i know they are going to bring to Kalos so it can mega evolve, but since they brought Charizard to Unova it is going to be too much Charizard time.
heracross should come back if anything!
Yes to Heracross!
Yes!
I want Totodile back and he should evolve it into Croconaw!
He should get Charizard to Mega Evolve and maybe Gary will show up and have his Blastoise Mega Evolve and they can battle it out!
no heracross so it slurp tree sap with it nose
Isn’t he no longer a trainer?
Idk xD
They could always bring back one of the other starters and evolve them.
Maybe bulbasaur since doesn’t really have squirrel anymore
squirtle (AUTOCORRECT!!!)
I’m just curious as to if he’ll even get a mega ring. Watch May come back with Blaziken.
It will mega evolve then go on a rampage
And Venusaur
That awkward moment when she didn’t even like pokemon when she started her journey and her pokemon are better than ash’s evolution wise 😛
Yeah… She ends up with the strongest starter…
Best plot twist: May showsup and successfully mega evolves 2 of her pokemon. Ash tries to mega evolve Charizard but it doesn’t take. Professor Sycamore decides to use May in his studies and tells Ash he no longer needs him. Ash returns to Kanto and May becomes the new protagonist of the series.
Can this please happen? I no like ash…. 😛
NOBODY likes ash.
Me watching the anime:
Ash puts in fire against water type…
me-Why does he always do this….
So they have a way to continue the series.
So they have a way to drive me to the mad house,
really though I think ash thinks he’s better than he is which is why he always puts pokemon into the battle he knows are at a disadvantage, so if he wins he’ll look better
Which then he doesn’t.
Correction: Nobody likes Ash BEFORE XY.
Maybe they’ll introduce Sceptile’s Mega Evolution and Sceptile will return.
His froakie better make to Greninja this region, or so help me Nintendo!
I KNOW RIGHT, I need to see Water Shurriken
That’s what I’m saying.
None of Ash’s Unova starters fully evolve
And it bothers me soooo much!
All of Ash’s Pokemon evolved really early!
He’d actually win a league if he did.
Or at least have a good last battle to someone who is smart
And he got nowhere with totodile and only made it to quilava with his cyndaquil
This is true
But that would break the chain of Ash’s water types not evolving… I DONT CARE
Ash is a terrible trainer 😛 this is why his pokemon never evolve….
If that ninja boy is the reason why Froakie doesn’t evolve, I SWEAR, ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOSE!!!!
The Johto starters!
Or Unova. I want Snivy to evolve!!!!!
So does anybody want a cloned shiny darkrai I need other event legends
I am surprised I managed to clone it
Or you can just clone it and give it away for less rare stuff… just a thought! xD
Heracross is the only one of ash’s pokemon expect charizard who could mega evolve since half of ash’s are only pre evos of megas so it wouldnt work
how do I evolve my feebas
Trade with Prism Scale.
where do i get the scale
Under the waterfall in that town with waterfalls. Use the item finding thingy.
cool thx
Couriway
Trade with a Prism Scale.
trade it with prism scale
I really don’t see Mega Heracross as a mega evo.. Looks like a full evo to me but eh he’s cool haha
I thought that too
Heracross is Badass and Mega Heracross has the Third Highest Attack of all Pokemon
But that speed
Jolly!
Still pretty slow
And look who has the highest. *wink wink*
Serena better hurry up and choose what she wants to be!
it only took May 13 episodes to choose what she wants
what could she be?
I think she will be a good groomer
Pokemon Goomer
I bet her first catch will be an Absol
I feel it will Espurr then Absol
Doesn’t she already want to be a Rhyhorn Racer?
Maybe
I say her goal should be: to gain confidence. She only started her adventure to be with her Ashy, but doesn’t know much about travelling. Because of this, she could be overwhelmed if she’s ever alone. She also has a Pokémon, but doesn’t know how to battle with Fokko (granted she used her against TR in the Saihorn episode, but that was just TR, and they didn’t even battle). She’s also very timid and shy, especially around Ash. She wants to to him about how she feels, but doesn’t know how to.
That’s why I think that should be her goal.

am the only who can see ash with binacle
I can see Bergmite then Binacle
But I loved my Binacle!
Sorry, but I can’t see it. He already has a water type.
its part rock
Hmm. Maybe, if he uses it mostly as a rock type.
ew
I feel more Bergmite
I hope he has a fairy type myself, I’m not sure about a binnacle atm though
Maybe Clauncher, Ash does catch Crab/Lobster pokemon
Ash catches crabs a lot……
XD
Ash likes it Krabby
sucks for him
wait HES ONLY 10
THATS F***ed BEYOND BELIEF
I see ash using a Swirlix
what do u think ash fairy pokemon will be( he will catch one) i say carbink
Naw Carbink ain’t his style
I think Flabebe
i say that serena
So do I
I think that would be the one that makes the most sense
I think he will get a Slurpuff
Really want him to have a Sylveon… But if he’s ever getting a Fairy, it would most probably be Clefairy. It was going to be the original mascot after all
nice throwback!
I think Serena will get Sylveon
I would love for him to catch Mawile. It’d also be his first Steel type and Mega Pokémon if it megaevolves.
Also, he’s going to need Poison or Steel on his side when battling Valarie.
7 hours for skourpi
I think Clemont or Ash might get a Hawlucha, and Hawlucha could like wrestle the owner every time it gets sent out
Time will only tell……
That’ll be James xD
Inkay should wrap it’s tentacles around James
Ash with a Skiddo 😛 Goat kicks him everytime he taken of his pokeball
I can see that!
I can picture that so well
SKIDDO FOR ASH 2014!
Skiddo is actually a good Poke for Ash
And then when Alexa is around, her Gogoat and Ash’s Skiddo bond and Serena gets jealous.
goat kicks him in his pokeballs
volcarona in amie is very awkward…
Not as awkward as Golurk-amie.
I get pacific rim vibes when i see golurk :3
I get Iron Man vibes when I see Golurk.
I want to see Jigglypuff in the anime again. What happened to her? She dissapeared
She got caught
Really? What episode?
all I remember was that it was an advanced generation episode. some guy was trying to catch her for his daughter with a loudred but failed and she came to live with them.
That was a different Jigglypuff
Oh that one, pretty sure that was a diff jiggly haha, the one I was referring to disappeared before Master Quest, I think
She didn’t get caught. Her last appearance was the one with the Fun House. Then they never showed her again…well they did, but that was in the one of the end credits in BW w/ Meloetta.
Idk good question but Serena should catch it
The steel types ate her up.
She grew up and transformed into lady gaga
I can see Ash catching another Pidgey… -_-
he never came back….
He never had a Pidgey
yea he did
No, he had a pidgeotto
oh ya
He had a Pidgeotto and a Pidgeot
Not a Pidgey
Ash can get a Tyrunt that bites his head
Serena can get a very shy Amaura
too much gible
Tyrunt would crush his skull….. now that you mention it I do kinda want to see it.
gible be there down that
did he kill ash? no? ok then
Too much Victreebel.
I see Serena’s catching Amaura, but if Ash catches Tyrunt, I don’t want it to be Gible 2.0.
does anyone wanna evolve my feebas?
I will
Thanks do i have ur fc?
Yup i am huntark
I’m off to the CHAT if you need me.
Ash should catch
Skiddo
Carbink
Bergmite
Skrelp
Mabye ash will catch old pokemon that could mega
Eh on Carbink
Skrelp should be Clauncher
fine…
I like how everytime I type a female Ace Attorney characters name in Google one of the suggestions is (insert female Ace Attorney character name here) r34
if it exists R34 has it
yeah but when I type in the name of a female pokemon character’s name there is r34 after it and pokemon’s much more popular.
That F****ing Rule!
Guys i need one more person for this multi with my friend anyone want 1st come first serve
Me!
Yay thanks
OMG
THIS SONG THO
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edt_2RnB4ys
I thought that was a Gen four movie.
no its gen 3
The gen four pokes throw me off big time.

>_> I never watched the movies. I remember when Electivire was introduced and it used Bounce. Then it couldn’t learn it in game.
Shellos.
thanks wurmple! :DDD
Np
I am wayyyyy too sassy tonight…. like wow
You’re always sassy eh. :p
Hows that healthcare eh?
not free, unlike our citizens.
… ok, whatever you say 😛
wow ur so nice 😀
(im sorry it was going to happen some time)
lol…. that stereotype is wrong 😛
Canadians are nice, but if they don’t like someone, they will tell them off in a nice way yet still insulting the heck out of them
Is that what you’ve doing to me this whole time? ;-;
No, we’re poke pals remember, 😛 I do not dislike anyone on here 100% truth
Okay! Just making sure. Canadians can be iffy. (They served me something with my steak I asked specifically to not have.)
Was it poison?
Nope. I don’t know what it was. I think it had something to do with tomatoes. I don’t remember. Great food otherwise.
then you got off easy…
wait are you talking about ketchup?
No not ketchup. XD it was a fancy Canadian restaurant. I don’t know.
chicken?
pepper?
Was it Mrs. Dash? My grandmother puts that sh*t on everything
Lolwut. It was in Disney world.
Sounds like me. However, I’m not Canadian. I didn’t know you were Canadian.
Insult me raichu
isult me goood
I would… but you probably wouldn’t understand…
oh sweety.
oh sweeter than maple syrup baby.
try me.

*searches for canadian slang*

What ya find by?
-curling
-maple syrup
-Zamboni

Let me tell you about the best coffee chain to ever exist, its name is tim hortons, but we call it timmies or tims, and it is heaven on earth
-toque
I still don’t understand how you people keep your heads warm without them…

why are those red maple leaves on a white canadian hat?
do you know what our flag looks like? …. O_o
They’re the same thing as toboggans.
those are sleds….
at least thats what canadians think 🙂
They’re also labeled as hats down here.
upon googling… omg, they are… why is this a thing? D: yall are strange….
Refresh and go to my latest comment.
—here’s a Who?
According to Johnny Test, “eh” is the only slang said by Canadians.
Unless yer a newfie by
What the hell is the point of curling?!
… im not sure
Figure skating and cleaning skills for lazy people?
Didn’t yer mudder ever teach ye not teh search tings up on the internet by?
“…as if”
Crouque (Animal Crossing)
What healthcare? My family didn’t sign up.

And their fake bacon.

That’s my argument!
I learned about fake bacon…in…Nickelodeon.

ITS HAAAAAMMMMMm
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhmK6Zpi10c
It’s sliced ham. ;-;

S-S-S-Sassy
I like Sassy. My Froslass in Platinum was sassy! Bad nature for her, I know, but she pulled off really well!
ch-ch-ch-CHIA! ….. I’m sorry I had to 😛
That was the whole point behind my comment.xD
Defnsive they might use legendaries
That’s okay.
Me and you
Okay.
If you ever battle someone with Shiny Uber Legendaries, it’s probably my bro. But don’t be scared. He only uses them to show off and has no strategy behind them! They’re not even super trained!
