The store is a sister store of "EVANGELION STORE TOKYO-01" which opened in Harajuku last November, and will specialize in souvenirs as befits a hot spring resort.

EVANGELION STORE TOKYO-01, which opened last year, is a favorite store of the author. At this Harajuku store, you can buy Evangelion-related products such as apostle cookies and apostle core buns.

The new movie "Evangelion: Q" will be released in four months. The rainy season is over, the weather is getting hotter and cooler, the season of autumn leaves has come and gone, and the movie will finally be released at the time of "Oh no, it's cold today..." and so on. There is still a long way to go! Until then, let's just wait and wait, taking a hot spring bath and eating "Nerufu-yaki"!
