The Persona 5 x Pasela Resorts themed menu is an exclusive and limited-edition food and beverage menu, offered at the Los Cabos Shibuya branch of Japan's Pasela entertainment chain, that consists of a variety of offerings inspired by characters from the role-playing video game 'Persona 5'.
What makes this themed menu more authentic than other similar initiatives is the fact that it features real-life renditions of fictional food items found in the game itself. Beverage options include the Necronomicon Kiwi Blue, Goemon Iced Citron Tea and Johanna High Priestess, each of which costs $6. What's more, the purchase of a food or beverage item entitles customers to a special collective postcard as well as beautiful 'Persona 5' pins.
Available until November 23, the Persona 5-themed menu is a great example of video games taking advantage of youthful food and beverage establishments to engage with gamers.
