The Evangelion Shinkansen, or the 500 Type Eva, is already transporting passengers between Osaka to Fukuoka once per day. The special shinkansen service started operations back on 7 November, which was also the very same day a certain cafe started operations in the JR Hakata Station.

The 500 Type Eva Cafe is celebrating the new Evangelion Shinkansen collaboration, and is serving a very special menu inspired by the now-20 year old mecha anime classic. The cafe is open for a limited time until March 2016, which is just about the same time the train ends its service. The cafe offers the following exclusive menu items:

 500 Type Eva Curry (Shito Curry or Angel Curry): 1,200 yen

118

 500 Type Eva Cider: 600 yen (comes with free Evangelion coaster)

500 Type Eva Toast: 600 yen (comes with strawberry, blueberry, and apple cinnamon jams)

The 500 Type Eva Sweets Set features an Eva Shinkansen-shaped purple cake served with matcha ice cream on top of whipped cream. The cake is actually made by the famous Fukuoka-based sweets shop, Strawberry Fields.

To make sure you don’t get lost in Hakata Station trying to find the cafe, or the special 500 Type Eva shop, here is a map of where they are located:
