Although it may not be the typical crossover that fans of the Pokemon TCG would anticipate, a recent trend has received great acclaim on the internet. During a visit to a Japanese bar, a customer shared that the establishment will create a unique cocktail inspired by any Pokemon card that is presented to them.
X user @redbeantofu posted on the platform, sharing their experience of visiting a bar in Akihabara, Japan. They were amazed by the bar’s unique concept of creating cocktails based on TCG cards, and even provided examples of cocktails inspired by Sylveon and Snom, both Ice-type creatures.
